The ZDK Trade Proposal Extravaganza Thread To End All Threads #OhYeah

[zimm_da_kid]

Eaton, Ross ---> Snell
Robles, Kieboom, Garcia, Difo, Fedde, Read ----> Trout

[zimm_da_kid]

Difo for Sonny gray and a crap lower level arm.  This would she'd the Yanks money (9.1 mil) on the last year of grays deal.  If the nats do this he could be the 4 starter with roark/ross as the five.  The three (or two even between scherz and stras) would either be a Corbin or Kershaw from FA.  Those are the only truely elite arms. 

That's why I propose a trade.  We have Robles ready to join soto.  Provided we re sign harper, Eaton becomes expendable.  He'll have value as an extremely productive top of the order hittersith great season to season consistency.  He's also cheap and comes with a little team control (2years?).

 I propose:

Eaton, Ross, Fedde for Blake Snell

Additionally try to sign one of ottavino, britton, kimbrel

I'd also keep an eye on Charlie morton.  Probably wants a winner with good fit.  Might want to stay in Houston, idk

[Slateman]

Lol, Eaton and Ross for Snell

The Rays arent giving up Snell for less than Robles and Keiboom.

Strasburg for Stanton who says no

The Yankees

[zimm_da_kid]

The Yankees

Their pitching is poop city rn though.  And Judge is gonna take mad cash to re sign

Strasburg is not good. The Yankees have more than enough money

[Elvir Ovcina]

Strasburg for Stanton who says no

Both teams, actually.  If the Nats had wanted  a corner outfielder with a contract like that, they would have just paid Harper.  Would they trade Strasburg for Harper?  (If so, you're implying that Strasburg has negative value, in which case, why would anyone want him, let alone the Yankees specifically?)

And as for NYY, you can't trade Stanton for a guy who can opt out after this season and next.  If he's good, you pay him even more or lose him.  If he sucks, is injured, or both, you have to pay him a ton of money.  That's an ok risk to take on a free agent, but trading one of your best players for that mess?

Robles, Kieboom, Garcia, Difo, Fedde, Read ----> Trout

We should have done this

A sign-and-trade totally would’ve made this work, and no need to use TPE

we could have thrown in some RCRs.

Could the Padres trade for trout?

Next year here are the Padres rotation options:

Snell, Darvish, Lamet, Musgrove, Paddock, Clevinger, Gore, Weathers, Morejan

They could trade Darvish, Clevinger, and Gore like it’s nothing.

Kim needs a spot to play, so trade Cronenworth too. 

Add in CJ Abrams, mlb.com’s #8 overall prospect.

That means they could put together a package of two frontline starters, the best pitching prospect in the game, an elite middle infield prospect, and a rookie of the year runner up who can play all over with plenty of team control.  The Angels get undoubtedly better by having more premium players and getting deeper in general.  The Angels trade solely from depth and get the best player in the game.

[JCA-CrystalCity]

well, the Padres do have amazing depth.  Would you take that package for Soto? 

[imref]

Soto and Trout aren't getting traded.

[Slateman]

I mean, theoretically they could trade for Trout. Darvish and Clevinger have minimal trade value due to age, injury history, and contracts. Crownenworth is fine, but they basically have that in Fletcher. Padres would have to be willing to part with Musgrove or Snell for this deal to even be considered.
But these is no chance the Angels trade him right now to another Cali team.

[zimm_da_kid]

crap, maybe.

Another topic though,  who has more trade value: Soto or trout?  Trout is owed $400m and is 7 years older.  Soto is cheap right now and hasn’t even hit the front end of his prime.

[Slateman]

Swapping our Clevinger and Darvish for some combination of Musgrove, Snell, and/or Lamet, yes.

Soto.

No one is "getting a deal" for Soto. He's going to make the top market money. So whoever trades for him gets two years on the cheap, as well as exclusive negoitiating rights.

[zimm_da_kid]

Angels might value Darvish more than other clubs as they could pair him with Ohtani

[Slateman]

I think its pretty obvious the Angels don't value expensive pitchers.

They could put together a package in theory (if the Angels are even open to the idea, which doesn't seem likely), but that ain't it. 

Consider what Darvish was just traded for (not much; old, bad contract).  Consider what Clevinger was traded for (not much, and he's since had Tommy John and hasn't pitched since).  The other dudes have some value, but not enough.

[Slateman]

Id much rather build a trade package around Turner

[JCA-CrystalCity]

Soto.

I think he has 3 more years of arb as a super 2 this year.  Of course "cheap" is relative.  I would guess right now that that last year of arb will be comparable to Mookie's - $27MM or so.

Not a great match with the Padres with Tatis there, unless you are thinking of Turner to 2d.
