just some conversation for today

I wouldn't trade Julio. Not yet at least. His second half last year was awesome, his last month plus was incredible. He's OUR ace, let him show he's an ace. If he succeeds, we can either keep him and let him anchor or we can trade him for a huge haul.

I keep him, personally.

But it depends what we could get back. I absolutely make the trade if we get anything close to the return for Shelby though.

Agree. His numbers were down last year because he pitched through an injury in the first half. Second half was on par with the prior two years.

I keep him, too.
 
Tehran shouldn't go unless we are getting a stud. Those Cubs guys aren't close

Inciarte is a guy I'd trade if I though mallex was real and I could plug a couple of holes with ppl I thought would be above avg regulars. The Cubs have a lot of blocked hitters so they seem to make sense. But now they have fowler.

As it goes we might be able to get Baez for a power relief arm if the Cubs need that. He's blocked and struggling
 
Inciarte seems legit, I probably hold on him unless something falls into our lap we can't refuse

Agree that no-one is untouchable, but both of those guys are under reasonably-priced team control into (fingers crossed) our contention window. It would take a lot--both in terms of talent and the development of their replacements—to get me to move them.
