MLB 17 Trade Discussion Thread

I'm trying to think of a middle ground and can only come up with Danny Duffy from Kansas City. Assuming KC is out of the playoffs in my franchise would Duffy for Arcia be realistic?

Ervin Santana? 61 wRC+ is failing for anybody, I don't care what he's done lately...especially when it's still far below expectations. I follow Mr. Swanson fairly closely, this is a guy that slugged .900+ for 2 years in the SEC. He can hit, he's just not doing it. Though I would quickly agree it's more with plate coverage than swing mechanics...you want to go look up S.Drew first 2 years in the league Mr. smarty pants? You know who doesn't have an 85? Jake Lamb...132. With NYY, HOU and now LAD calling...yeah, I'd turn down Arcia from the Brewers. The guy has never hit, he's never going to hit and unless he's the second coming of Omar Vizquel, I've already got guys that can do that.

Drew was a bad defender and Swanson has good defensive metrics. Drew was so bad he had a -.6 WAR his second year and even as bad as Swanson started the year he has a break even WAR so far.

Who do you think NYY, HOU and LAD would actually offer? Because the Brewers have an elite farm and could pretty easily match an offer that includes Arcia. But I can agree its in the Brewers best interest to keep him.

Duffy just resigned with KC it isn't realistic that he is traded

Alright looks like I'll probably do Arcia + Erceg + Woodruff for Quintana then. Thanks guys!

Since others in here seem lower on Arcia than I am, I think you have to change Woodruff to Hader. So Arcia + Hader + Erceg. Its expensive to get an ace

Would CWS throw in a reliever then? Something like Arcia+Hader+Erceg for Quintana+Jennings?

I think he goes to Houston for Martes+Tucker+'whatever they need to add to get NYY to go away'. The size of the 3rd piece will be determined by the perceived value of the flavor-of-the-moment RP added from CHW and the level of determination of the Yankees (I really don't see LAD heavily involved). The Brewers have the chips to play at this table but Arcia is the ante, not the bet. While we're at it, Gray moves to CHC or NYY and Archer/Cole stay put. I could also see STL chasing Donaldson if TOR is so inclined.

That's not a bad write-up on Arcia. Though "...productive piece on the next competitive Brewer team" doesn't exactly make me tingle, I don't think a A.Hechavarria type of comp is totally out of the question. Even with that though, and I'm a Heck fan...headline a 100mm+ surplus value trade? Nah.

That's fair, but he's also too much for someone like Hellickson or Chris Tillman. Maybe he would headline for a #2/#3 type? But it doesn't make logistical sense for him to be traded at this point. You don't rebuild a team and trade former top prospects before they've played like 100 games on the MLB roster
