I would veto that. Without even looking at surplus, I see no reason for Toronto to do this trade. Grichuk to Chicago is actually really interesting but the return isn’t there in this deal.

Does a lotto ticket for either CLE Yan Gomes or CHW Kevan Smith seem like enough? Also what is Omar Narvaez value?

Here is my thinking on all 3

Gomes is on bench with Meija starting and Perez has fairly long deal which is cheaper then Gomes, and Perez he is younger.

Smith and Narvaez are behind current starter Castillo who is there this year and next barring they trade him, and they traded for Caratani so it looks like they have their catcher of the future too.

Thanks all

Anyone using the Cubs trade for Machado? If you got him who did you give up?

The Cubs don't have the prospects to give up, so I feel like the early rumor of Russell + Almora is a decent place to start. IRL I don't think Theo wants to trade Baez/Schwarber/Happ (also don't think he'd want to deal Russell or Almora, which is why this trade isn't gonna happen), but if you are more willing to part with those guys, maybe you could get away with just one of them plus a young low level prospect who has lots of time to develop

EDIT: If you anticipate trying to resign him then you would probably be more willing to give up the house than if you just wanted a rental

Someone mentioned the Russell for Machado trade earlier. I just really think at this point Manny is going to test FA IRL. To me, given their lack of a farm at this point, a deal starts with Schwarber/Alzolay. I just don't think you can give up a premium position player that has been pretty good (Russell) and then see Manny walk two months later.

Agreed. That logic combined with the fact that Epstein in really big on Schwarber and most of the other young MLB talent the cubs have is why realistically I don't see this as the best fit

In june in my marlins franchise I had a few guys I am wondering what their trade value is

First is Adam Conley he is on pace for a 4.4 WAR season and I am looking to capitalize on his breakout performance. He also has 3 arb years after this year what kind of value does that give him?

The second player I am wondering about is Miguel Rojas. He had a decent WAR last year IRL. In my Chise he is on pace for a 4 WAR season an has 2 Arb years remaining? He also has INF positional versatility.

Lastly would be Cameron Maybin I believe he is about 11M in value but just wanted to double check.

Would the Rangers who are competing to this point, leading their division by 5 games be interested in upgrading from Rua to Maybin in LF and with a lot of their pitchers hurt or under performing want Conley as well. Hamels is out 1 more month they just lost Fister for the year. Colon pitching well for them. Moore is hurt to and they have Volquez and Perez getting tore up. What kind of return would Maybin and Conley pitching the way he is net from the rangers?

Also what kind of fit at SS or 2B does Rojas have I am looking at the Dodgers as they have Forsythe platooning with Locastro both of which are playing poorly. Or potentially the Royals as they are leading their division by 6 games and just lost Merrifield for 2-3 months and have Goins playing everyday.
