Givens and Chafin for the pen J Gray as the bigger under the radar move

I would love to get J Pederson. Figure 5.5 war over the next two years at $13M gives a surplus value of $30M. The Dodgers had 5 players get significant time in the outfield this past season add in Verdugo and Pederson may be expendable. The Dodgers don't really need anything from us but they...

Julio Shields Folty Wacha Wisler

I doubt we trade for sale or archer, you have to remember other clubs like the Dodgers and Red Sox would make offers too, I think the cost would be too high. I could see a trade for Gray. Newcomb, mallex and Sanchez would be a good middle ground when you consider Gray's high value after last...

I'm good with an Ender for Baez trade, unfortunately the Cubs, especially Maddon greatly value his versatility so I doubt this happens.

Some view the contract as 2 yrs at $34 million but it's really 3 yrs at $49 million. McCann will likely require the option to be picked up to waive the no trade clause. I would accept $5 million per year for three years from the Yankees and give them someone like Ellis and Morris. If they want...

Smyly fron the Rays and Shelby are my choices. Both have 2 years control left and have more upside than how they have been pitching.

I would prefer to trade for Drury or Dozier for third next season. Either one gives you pop from the right side. Ruiz could still compete for the spot or could be a trade chip.

Wouldn't mind getting Miller and drury for Blair, a controllable bullpen piece and a prospect. Drury is blocked at third and could give us a power bat from the right side.

I would do viz for Oneal, since viz has multiple years of control teams still have interest. Markakis money and Jenkins for our pick of vallot/boni/dozier. Cubs may be interested in Reddick make it a three team trade with the braves receiving soler and the A's getting Dewess from the Cubs and...

Sorry, neck ogando JJ and Garcia traded for prospects

Trades: Braves get Myers San Diego gets sims, Ruiz and hursh. SD is a year behind us in their rebuild so they need guys for the 2018/2019 timeframe. They will likely be without Cashner and Ross after this year so with shields gone they lose all but two of their starters that began this season...

Viz trade proposals Giants Susac and Suarez Dodgers T Thompson Pirates McGuire and Brault (lefty near mlb ready projects as #4/5 Seattle Zunino and Oneal Thoughts?

I am not a fan of trading for Braun or kemp. They are getting older, lost some defensive value and are owed a lot of money for several more years. I know we are desperate for RH power but let's not make a mistake that will limit our options when we should compete. If we can trade for someone...

I still don't think arenado will be traded. A trade would be smart but their owner continues to say they won't go for a rebuild and he acted consistent with that by trading Dickerson a hitter with 4 yrs control for a relief pitcher with just 2 years control.
