Next Move?

[Chico]

If I had to lay money down I'd say it's Javier Baez. He can play 2b, SS, and 3b average or above, has right handed pop, and is cheap.

What would yours be?

[braves31win]

Baez + Soler

for

Miller + Maybin +/- a mid level pitching prospect

[emk418]

Baez + Soler

Miller + Maybin +/- a mid level pitching prospect

Can't see that happening. I think a more realistic target is Starlin Castro but would obviously LOVE to grab Soler or Baez.

I would hope/think that Miller could net you a guy like Baez and a low level prospect with upside, so would Soler for Maybin + Jenkins/Sims with them keeping their prospect even out the deal?

Not sure the Cubs would want to part with both of them.

We have an excess of outfielders if Olivera is moving to left. Maybin makes the most sense to trade.

[The Chosen One]

Hate to see Maybin get traded so soon.

He wanted to come here, he's improved. I know he'd have little value as a corner OF, but just hate to see him go so soon especially. He's been on terrible teams his entire career, would like to have seen him be here when we finally go to the playoffs again.

I doubt Maybin wants to play until he's 50, though.

Bull**** age is just a number, just ask this guy

[Russ2dollas]

Miller extension is next. That or a multi yr reliever contract that will defy logic

[Enscheff]

Maybin plus pitching for a top 50 hitting prospect.

[Horsehide Harry]

Maybin plus pitching for a top 50 hitting prospect.

Maybin, Jenkins & Ellis to the Indians for Clint Frazier

[rico43]

I'm hearing Miller for A.J. Pollack. Both have three years of control.

[smootness]

Baez + Soler

for

Miller + Maybin +/- a mid level pitching prospect

How do we to about subtracting a pitching prospect from that deal? Do we agree that as part of the deal, we must cut a pitching prospect from the system? Or do we give them the value left over from Miller after taking away from him the value of a mid level prospect? Or do they also have to give us a pitching prospect, but we convince them of this sneakily?

In all seriousness, there's no way we're getting both, and to do it, it would require something like Teheran, Newcomb, and Sims. At least.

heard the same, but heard the D-Backs didn't want to part with AJ

Well he was a big reason why most of those teams were terrible in the first place.

[cajunrevenge]

“To us, it’s just like five years ago when the Royals traded away Zack Greinke. Everyone was saying, “What are they doing? How can you trade a 27-year-old Cy Young winner?’ Well, how did that work out for them?"

I dont recall anyone saying that. I recall everyone saying "Yeah thats a great move for the Royals they got several good young prospects for a pitcher that wanted out". Starting to get a little worried Coppy is delusional. He thinks Aybar is a better player than Andrelton. He keeps saying we arent going to be that bad and everyone doesnt know what they are talking about but he said the same **** last offseason. I fully expect us to lose 94 games and have him come out declaring victory because he said we wouldnt lose 95 games again.

Tough to tell at the moment - I'd imagine things will be pretty quiet for a few days to give the Freeman mess time to cool down (or breathe).

Given all the pieces and confirmation that payroll will be going up significantly in 2017, I wouldn't dismiss a deal for Todd Frazier out of hand. $7.5 million salary in his last year of control, and one of those guys that seems pretty convincing when he's asked about money - he sounds like he expects to be paid what's "fair", but isn't looking to break the bank and put the team in a position where they can't be competitive.

Would Miller and Sims get it done? Maybe.

Maybin/Smith, Markakis, Freeman, Frazier, Pierzynski, Olivera, Aybar, Peterson sure would give you a much better offense in a hurry.

If that's legit we should do it ASAP

It's legit, but DBacks said No.
