I think that's a lot to say for a guy who hasn't proved it at the highest level. Now, I'm not using our formula to devise values, I'm using baseballtradevalues as it's just quicker and I like how intuitive it is. BTV has Gallo at 67.2M and Madrigal at 32.4M. The total value for that trade on BTV is slanted towards Texas who receives approximately 6.6M more in the deal.

My recommendation:

Jung
Solak
H. Hernandez

Bard may have a different deal.

I have Nick at $51 million in surplus. Gallo I want to say is $72.

Deal is probably fair, but if I was the White Sox I wouldnt do that in 2020.

I'll get to the Bryant one soon!

To be fair, if I were the White Sox, I wouldn't do it either. That is why I don't like them as a trade partner for Gallo. They have nothing outside of Vaughn and Madrigal that even tickles Texas' interest. But Vaughn and Madrigal makes more sense for Chicago's future then dealing for Gallo.

What value does Randal Grichuk have? I’m looking for relief help.

Bryant is worth $25.8.

Cubs Receive:
Jung
Lotto ticket


Rangers Receive:
Kris Bryant

Jung is worth around $33 million alone, but the Cubs wouldn't take a one for one. They'll take a top 100 prospect and a lotto ticket for Bryant.

Allard has about a fourth of that value. Cole Tucker has never broke the top 100 prospects, and wasn't good in his debut last year...how did you have him that high? Seems strange.

I would just throw that deal out. The math doesn't add up for any of them.

Randal is worth around $.01 in surplus. So, he really isn't worth much at all, and is almost in the negative. What would help him is a strong season, and them be a trade deadline flip at this point.

He is worth $10 million, times 4 years of control is $40, but then subtract his contract (12, 9.33x3) and you get .01.

What would be considered a lotto ticket?
