Why would the Jays trade a young controllable second basemen for two players who are free agents at the end of the year? Even if the Jays are running away with the division they wouldn't trade their starting second basemen. Could they trade for JD Martinez sure but Travis wouldn't be involved.

Meh, I would trade Travis for those 2 guys if the Jays were making a run at the title.

In my franchise they lead the AL East (60-45) and I figured the move would help them get even with the Indians and Astros, who picked up Quintana.

My thinking was then Toronto would have Kinsler and JD Martinez for Travis/prospects, and then Detroit gets their 2B of the future, and Toronto gets two rentals, who they could actually end up re-signing. If they don't there are other options, in FA and in-house (more so OFers, not really 2B).

So, let's make a deal: Who would you add to Devon Travis to get Kinsler and Martinez?

I originally was gonna trade JD Martinez to Toronto for two B-ish prospects (he's having a good year). Then I wanted to add Travis and remove one of the prospects I had in mind, then I realized TOR would need a 2B for this playoff run. I already was going to trade Kinsler (to the Dodgers) but it clicked in my head they could trade Travis + ______ + _______ for JDMartinez + Kinsler

Mmm What prospects are the tigers needing? You could take a high B and another low B / High C. I'm not good with values so might need others to chime in.

Wouldn't matter anyway the trading is still broken without 30 team control. You can't make any deals where salary isn't a full match despite having full trades. It's infuriating.

The only thing with the Tigers is that they traded Travis for Gose, as much as I would like to have him back im not sure the team would do it.

Yankees Aaron Judge straight up for Red Sox Andrew Benintendi. Realistic?
3 months ago, I'd said no, deal not favorable to Boston. But now that Judge has exceeded early expectations, is it a go, or has Judge's value swung so far that the deal would be unfavorable to New York?
