Best trade partner?

Boston needs Teheran and could really use Viz. Benintendi without a doubt would have to be the centerpiece. Him, Devers/Shaw, and Swihart would be my deal for both.

I kind of think Austin Meadows is the guy that stands out to me. Might be hard to get Pittsburgh on board, but they've got three young OF locked in for three years, a fourth moved to 1B and slugging at AAA, and another high level OF prospect just below him.

If you can work something out with Boston's top prospect guys, even if it involves sending some prospects back that would make sense. I guess the assumption is they would not move Moncado, but I feel like they've moved premium prospects before.

Let's say you could move Teheran, Vizcaino, Ruiz or Riley, Tyrell Jenkins for Moncado, Devers, Swihart. Is that feasible?

Or same package for Meadows, one of Pitts young catchers, and another prospect.

Is that close to being accepted?

hmmm. I tend to think that's about right on, but probably a slight overpay for the Braves. I'd want Benintendi,Devers, Chavis and Brock Holt (we could use another cheap utility guy) for the package you listed. If Swihart cannot catch, his value really becomes minimal.

So is Swihart not catching because they have other guys ahead of him, or was he brutal as a Catcher. I thought I read that he was okay as a C. (I know he is hurt right now, but before).

There are supposedly concerns about Swihart's defense. I have no idea. Red Sox might be poised for an overpay because they need pitching and they have a lot of prospects.

I think Seattle would take a long look at both Teheran and Vizcaino.

Things will probably shake out over the next month with teams getting a better handle on where they sit in the pecking order for the post-season.

In his 78 game stint in 2015 his defensive metrics looked good. BUT, the talk is he hasn't been that good and we all know a small sample size can not tell the real story. SO, to be honest, I have no friggin clue. The stuff I read about him says no, he won't stick at catcher long term. But as I rarely watch red sox games, hard to say

I love Meadows too- my favorite OF prospect in baseball. I said this on page 1, if we can get him in a trade for Teheran (especially bc Cole got injured), I'd do flips.
My favorite trade for Teheran and Vizcaino is for Meadows + McGuire + Hayes/lower prospect if Hayes is too much

I'd do literal FLIPS.
 
Texas is contending and only has three relievers they can count on. Dyson is now their closer but I'm sure they'd prefer him setting up again. So I could see them asking about Vizciano and maybe one of our other relievers too. Maybe between them and Seattle one of them wants him bad enough to give up a lot.

Dyson is a right handed Zach Britton. I think they're fine with him closing...but...they could definitely use Vizcaino

I think you guys thinking Boston would send us Moncada have been spoiled by dealing with the Dbacks. Moncada isn't going anywhere
 
I think a lot of deals are about timing. Right now, the Rockies are trying really, really hard to move Jose Reyes, without success. The Braves might be able to swing a deal with them for Reyes, Dahl, McMahon and Nunez for Teheran with the Braves taking on all of Reyes' money. The Rocks move a guy they are desperate to move and gain a good SP while giving up a 3B who's blocked, a catcher who's blocked and a CF who they really wouldn't want to give up but could replace internally fairly easily. The Braves take a flyer on a top of the order type guy but get a catcher who isn't far away, a 3B with some power and a Georgia boy CF who has a chance to be a star.

I think the main question is why would the Rockies want a flyball heavy pitcher?

Pitt crossed my mind too. They have of and catchers and would prize tehrans contract more than most.

I tend to think we'd ask for marte over meadows

I'm sure we would, but Marte is more valuable than Julio so there is zero reason the Pirates would do that.

Yah Marte is a young proven superstar that's still making pennies... a cornerstone of a playoff contending team... that would make zero sense.

I know what Coppi has said, but no playoff team is giving up a regular young player of equal or greater value and control as JT. Why would they create a hole to fill a hole...

JT/FF/Viz are only getting traded if the team is willing to except prospects back. plus that is really the best way to maximize your value. my dream would be to target Bregman, but not sure the Stros are wanting to trade him..

Unless it's an injury type deal, like with Swihart.
 
Bregman, Benintendi, Meadows, Dahl would be my main 4 targets for Teheran. If I didn't get one of them then I don't trade him.
