Gonzalez I could definitely see, though I don’t know if his current slump would create skepticism for other teams looking at him.His slump ended the day after your post:)

2 hours ago2 hr 11 hours ago, Chick Mercedes said:^^^^CORRECT!Unless Jerry is insisting on them picking up these contracts, that is an absurd price. I feel like as perennial sellers for the last few years, we always see the rumors about prices, and then for guys who aren't top tier guys, we always end up disappointed.
2 hours ago2 hr Sending out 10 expected WAR at pre arb prices to get Chapman and Gray is stupid. We'd be on the hook for something like 30 million including the Gray buyout, and Chapman has a 15 million dollar option that I believe according to spotrac is guaranteed as long as he passes a physical at the end of the year. For taking on all that salary relative to the performance we should be giving up a couple lotto tickets and Adams, not including Carlson and Fauske.
2 hours ago2 hr With the Dodgers willing to trade some of their big time prospects for middle infield or catching prospects, it will be interesting to see if Bonemer would be a potential flip for a true outfield prospect like Sirota.

What about Jackson Ferris? Two prospects with dimmishing shine.. Unless you think he's got the YIPS.

Unless you think he's got the YIPS.I'd keep Quero. You never know with a young talented catcher how long it might take for the light to go on, especially after a big swing change and body transformation in his early 20s. We gave up on Flowers too early, hate to see the same with Quero and he goes on to put up 12 WAR somewhere else.

He will have more value to us elsewhere.Even if he recovers, he only starts 60-70 games a year. (No Teel and Quero can't alternate at DH)

(No Teel and Quero can't alternate at DH)We're one injury to teel to being down to lee and romo as the catchers. that's a downside risk we don't need. as bad as quero is, imagine lee hitting 150/180/250 over 30 games with Romo the starter.

Injuries happen, but i certainly don't hold a player that may have value just to hold him for "maybe someone gets injured sometime". Also.. If the injury is so bad and long that Lee or Romo can't handle it for a month or so, then go sign or trade for some vet.. Keep in mind, Teel missed a lot of time already and we survived fine already with 2 bad catchers (Romo and Quero).

Keep in mind, Teel missed a lot of time already and we survived fine already with 2 bad catchers (Romo and Quero).We have an entire minor league team at AAA full of guys who exist only to replace an injured player. Right now, Quero is a backup whose production is about 62% worse than league average. So what is it you think you're going to get for him? Romo was a former first rounder and was free. Joey Bart was an overall #2 pick and was free a couple of years ago. Quero isn't plug and play. He's stow and fix. Nobody has time for that in the next two months if they're angling for the playoffs, and 3-4 guys like him will be bouncing around the waiver wire over the winter and end of spring training. Last year, the Rays and Dodgers swapped backup catchers. The Rays sent a couple arms over to the Dodgers in the deal, one might be interesting.
