trade of acuna?

Just for ****s and giggles:

It's not at all crazy to think we'll get about $275 million in surplus value above his salary the next nine years. So let's see, to meet that bar, we'd need to get something like Vladdy Jr. plus 3 or 4 of the top 5 prospects in baseball.
 
Using the same rough, back of the napkin guesses for Albies comes up at around $225 million in surplus value, so he could be had for Vladdy Jr plus maybe 2 of the top 4 prospects in baseball.

And if you add them together, just make it a ten team trade and get the top nine, maybe? Seriously, it's realistically impossible to get this value.
 
Isn’t Albies even more valuable though?

Albies May have more surplus value on paper, but according to Kiley, GMs place more trade value on elite players that concentrate many WAR into a single roster spot more than the surplus value model suggests

The Rays might be the only team able to swing a fair deal for Acuna. I think quite a bit would have to be added to the four you list.

It would be hard to to pull the trigger and wander is far away but not sure how anyone would give up more.

Obvious injury notes aside I think Glasnow could be the best pitcher in baseball next year.

Rays are the only team who can come close, but they're too smart to unload everything they have, not that it would ever happen.

The Padres could probably get pretty close as well. If they offered us something like Gore, Trammell, Campusano, Abrams, Mejia, and Renfroe then I think that would get fairly close. But in reality there isn't a package that we'd be willing to accept than any other team would be willing to offer. Acuna is going to be a Brave for the duration of his contract. If something weird happens, I could maybe see him being traded in the last year or two of it, but not before then.
 
Please Sav, can I beat the sh*t out of this troll?

This is so stupid I just can't stand it. If the troll wants a fight, let's go. Hell in the cell.

On a more serious note, this troll needs to go. I can do it but I want you as our leader to do it.

Him continue to post will nauseate me. I command over 5000 (maybe 10000 plus) on my board, the would have eviscerated him now. And we don't ban much but this person, they would kill.

He needs to go. I know I have the power, but you have to do it. That is respect.

If the fanbase keeps giving him **** for "not hustling" for 3 seconds while playing hard 99% of the time, I could eventually see him asking for a trade.
