If Coppy could start unloading vets with the standings being what they are today, who are the potential dance partners if he continues trying to add prospects??? Feel free to tack on trade ideas for any as well.
1.) Kemp
Could he be a fit in St. Louis? With the continued struggles of all their OFs, they sure look like they could use that type of bat. He'd probably look awfully good in the middle of Toronto's lineup as well. Despite the Jays' slow start, they're far from out of it.
Kemp for Paul De Jong, or one of Bo Bichette or Max Pentecost.
2.) Johnson
There doesn't seem to be a current contender that desperately needs a Closer other than the D-Backs (and potentially Gnats, but just can't see Coppy trading within the division), so who night be trying to line up a "super pen" early on? There's little doubt that putting JJ in Arizona's pen would be a huge upgrade, but he'd probably be a really nice addition for the Dodgers, Astros, or Tigers as well.
Johnson for Socrates Brito and the D-Backs' Comp B pick (#68), Garrett Stubbs and the Astros' Comp B pick (#75), JaCoby Jones, or Will Smith.
3.) Garcia
With Taijuan Walker and Shelby Miller on the DL, the Snakes sure could use a starter too. The Orioles never seem to throw in the towel, so he'd certainly help there. The Angels obviously need arms, but are they or the Mariners crazy enough to try to add at this point with the Astros running away with the West?
Garcia for Brito or the D-Backs Comp B pick, Jomar Reyes or the Os' Comp B pick (#74), Brandon Marsh, or Joe Rizzo.
Don't know who could possibly be fits for Dat Dude, Markakis, or anyone else at this point - going to be awfully hard to move them or either of the other veteran SPs unless or until someone has a catastrophic injury IMO.
