too early for a trade thread?

[Millennium]

This thread is okay for now, but we'll start the official yearly trade thread sometime Tuesday once everyone has the game.

With Longoria entering his extension soon (this year or next? Can't remember), I think it is possible that he could be moved for a nice haul as he is locked up for a while at an under market rate. With the Rays losing Maddon and talent looking less than past years, it's possible (but most likely not) than he can be moved. As the White Sox need a long-term answer at third, I was thinking of a package based around Hawkins (OF), Anderson/Johnson (SS/2B), Michalczewski (switch hitting 3B, only 20), 1 of Adams, Danish, Montas, and Gillaspie as a stop gap 3B in a deal for Longoria and probably another filler player). Thoughts?


Edit: maybe Avi Garcia instead of Hawkins and subtracting Johnson or Anderson and then plugging in a stop gap in right for Hawkins.


My lineup would be:


Eaton CF
Cabrera LF
Abreu 1B
Longoria 3B (signed til '22 with an option for '23)
LaRoche DH
Ramirez SS
Avi/stop gap RF
Flowers C
Sanchez/Bonifacio/Beckham (maybe Johnson if he isn't traded) 2B

Braves fan here too. I'm actually excited for a franchise this year. Due to all the trades and new players on the team, for the first time in forever I have no connection to the team so won't feel bad trading players away and setting up a young powerful team.

Starting a Rockies franchise. What are the chances the Nats let Zimmerman walk next offseason? I'd rather wait and try to lure him as a FA.

In real life he almost certainly will be testing FA. He stated he doesn't want to negotiate in season and recent reports said they are currently not close to a deal. In the game, I couldn't tell you.

What short stops are available that I could get for some package of Quentin, Maybin, Thayer, Torres? I hate Amarista. I used Solarte as my SS during my Show 14 current franchise with updated rosters.

Eduardo Escobar?
