Best trade partner?

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.

This pretty much where I'm at, and I'd want a pretty solid side prospect if we are going for Meadows or Dahl (particularly with Dahl). Moncada would also be good of course (but them moving him is so unlikely I don't even consider it an option). And as nsacpi mentioned Gallo as well.

If you can add Moncada and Gallo... plus sign a servicable catcher with at least a bit of offensive upside (or even just keep Flowers for full time duty)... and add maybe one veteran SP and you're looking at an intriguing team... with still one of, if not the best, farm systems in the league.

I'd be perfectly fine with them to and would prefer Moncada over Benintendi. I'm just not sure they would even entertain trading him. Gallo has the power we need and I'd take him over Brinson all day.
 
I don't wanna trade Teheran but after taking mainly pitching again this draft we have to trade him in order to get that bat we need for us to compete.
 
Benintendi is a nice player, and was a great college player for a year. I really enjoyed watching him carry the Hogs to the CWS. That said, I don't think the power he displayed as a sophomore is indicative of what he'll do in the big leagues. He's always going to be in the 5'10"/ 180 lb range. He went on a pretty strong workout regimen before last season to develop the power he has now, so I'm not sure how much room there is for him to get stronger.

I see his upside as being that of a young Nick Markakis with maybe better defense. Downside is a fourth outfielder. Really hope I'm wrong, even if the Braves don't end up picking him up via trade. If we're going to trade Teheran for hitting, I'd rather go in another direction.

Young Markakis was great, I'd be ecstatic with that on our team.

Yes he was. I guess I'm mainly thinking that people are expecting Andrew to be the power bat we need for a corner outfield position. I don't see him as being a guy who ever slugs .500 or better, or hits more than 20 bombs in a good year. Not that he couldn't be a great player with that profile, but IMO we need to find someone who can hit the ball over the fence with some regularity if we're dealing our most valuable asset.

I don't see the love for Benintendi at all... not really what we need.
 
Moncada doesn't really have much power either. If I had my choice of everybody it would be Bregman hands down.

I'm not sold on him either. He's put up huge numbers this year, but he's playing in a pretty extreme hitter's league. Not to mention our top two offensive prospects are shortstops. When they're that close to the majors I think the best player available thing goes out the window.

Only problem is that the Pirates are prospect and money savvy :/

Well McCutchen's deal expires in a few years, maybe they go with Marte, Polanco and Meadows in a few years.

But in my scenario I also traded for Gallo

The only way I see Gallo possibly becoming available is if Rangers lose one of their top three starters. Darvish is being scratched tomorrow but they seem to think just minor issue with his neck and said common coming back from injury. But if that proves more serious then I could see them looking at Teheran. But not right now as their starters have been carrying them as their bullpen is really no better than ours--just used more effectively and a lot less thanks to the Rangers starting rotation.

That said, I am sure they'd want Vizciano given their bullpen issues but I don't see them giving up Gallo for him. I think they'll trade Profar before Gallo but even Profar wouldn't be available now with them contending and Beltre about to hit the 15-day DL.

It wouldn't be just Viz... It would be Viz and one of our good pitching prospects not named Allard or Newcomb
