So, it looks like the Chisox are playing the waiting game on moving Quintana. And, with Houston gaining the Card top two picks, they are saying they may be in better position to move players.
Looking at Quintana and Teheran, outside of Q being a lefty and Teheran being 2 full years younger, I don't see much difference. Quintana has been slightly more valuable but has gained that value at an older age than Teheran. Teheran is entering his prime years and Quintana is beginning to exit. Both have great contracts.
The Sox have been adamant with the Stros about wanting Musgrove, Martes and Tucker.
Would you be willing to move Teheran for Bregman and Fisher?
First, would the Stros move Bregman for anybody? They signed Gurriel who's best spot is 3B, so they have a ready replacement and they also have Moran and JD Davis in the minors. So, maybe.
Second, is a Bregman & Fisher ask less than a Musgrove, Martes, Tucker ask? I would say yes.
Third, should the Braves do it? Moving Teheran goes against the off season messaging for sure. But, how big of a difference would Teheran vs Wisler or Blair be as compared to Bregman vs Garcia and longer term Kemp vs Fisher?
