And I also feel like it's better to have Dietrich be able to move all over the field. Any suggestions? Thanks.

I think most would agree with me that you can throw a mid-level lottery pick at Arizona for Tomas. His WAR has been his greatest enemy, he just got a demotion to AAA and he has a huge contract. Arizona I think would be happy to send him to Miami. Ellsbury is a similar scenario because of his contract. Send them Zac Gallen and Brian Miller for Jacoby Ellsbury and Dillon Tate. Unless somebody else disagrees with that sentiment.

Semien and Ahmed are going to require you to deal from your prospects. Ahmed is the cheaper of the two. You might be looking at Isan Diaz and a lottery pick or two for either of those guys. Honestly, have you thought about playing Riddle to see if you like his defense more? He's a bit better than Rojas and I'd personally rather try playing with him than dealing from my farm for either of Semien or Ahmed when Miami is already in a rebuilding stage.

The calling up riddle and trading for a LF seems like the best option to me. If I were going to trade for a SS it'd be a very low tierd MLB player just to feel as a stop gap. Could I do a salary swap of Ellsbury and Chen and still get prospects?

In 2015 I'd say that is a deal NY considers but I honestly don't think that would work now. Somebody else might disagree.

You know another low cost opportunity at SS is calling up Texas about Profar. He is kind of hard to evaluate though, maybe take a look at the log and throw something comparable together.

Profar can play all over the places and switch hits. Could I do a deal around Dietrich and Straily for profar?

I'm away from my computer but you could probably do a straight up for Straily.
