    Some of this fanbase as a whole is starting to look extremely bad on Acuna.

    The one difference I have is he's likely to still play like he always has. He said he respected Snitker's decision on the regular season benching but that I will continue to play the game like how I've played it.

    But really if you're trading him you're sacrificing winning for muh muh lets play the game the right way. Although it wouldn't get that bad, do I need to remind these people about how 2015 went with a "bunch of good guys that play hard"?
    Aggression with prospects is fine, but being stupid is not. There should be a way to find a happy medium between a Pirates like idea of being overly cautious with prospects and going stupidly fast with prospects.

    He's young and energetic. Emotions got the best of him. Move on.

    But just to take my mind off of the tragedy that was last night, can you imagine what the haul would be we’d get in trading Acuña? Seriously, what would we get, aside from the GM’s first born child ++?

    only a small number of teams have the expected surplus value to even have a chance to make that kind of a trade...the Rays for one

    Trade him to the Mets, in that case.

    Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth
    And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;......

    And, while with silent, lifting mind I’ve trod
    The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
    Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.

    Acuna probably has the highest trade value in baseball given his age/contract, there isnt a price that is even remotely fair.

    Best trade value in baseball history since free agents became a thing.

    The Rays could offer us Franco, Mckay, Liberatore, Brandon Lowe, and some change and that still probably wouldn't be enough.

    Only trade I'd consider for Acuna is Trout, Tron, and cash.

    Acuña is basically untradeable. I say this not because no one would want him but because with the contract we have him signed to he is one of if not the single most valuable asset in baseball. It would be almost impossible to extract fair value for him in a trade. Acuna is going nowhere.
