That begs the question. Now that we have seen what Robles can do, what would you give him up for, reasonably? Or is he pretty much untouchable?
Good question. Here are the Fangraphs top trade values from this past summer with their max contracts (some guys have options I'm assuming get picked up). I'm stopping before Trea Turner at #7 because I think you obviously trade Robles for any guy at Trea or above.
I'm stopping here because I think I'd probably say no straight up to anyone below Freddie Freeman besides maybe Willson Contreras, given our current long-term need at C.
