why would the Dodgers want any of those last 3 guys? I guess Avi replaces the 2 OFs they're trading away but they'd be better off this season not playing Avi and just throwing some random backup out there.

30 mill is what he'd command this offseason, in 2018? Whew, can't imagine.

 

Chris Sale as a free agent would break records for pitchers. He'd probably clear $35 million annually.

That sure is crazy lol. No one wants Bonifacio. You're not getting all those guys from LA without including Sale.

Not so crazy but Alexei Ramirez to PIttsburgh for C Taylor Gushue

Tim Anderson, Avisail Garcia, and Frank Montas for Justin Upton

White Sox sweep Boston trade for CarGo. Keep Shark. Montas, Avi for CarGo.

How would trading for a guy who's hitting .239 away from Coors Field help this offense? It's not 2011.

Carlos Gonzalez stayed red-hot on Sunday, blasting another pair of home runs and driving in six as the Rockies demolished the Reds 17-7 at Coors Field.

Gonzalez delivered an RBI single to start a 10-run third inning, which he finished with a two-run homer. He wasn't finished though, as he clobbered a three-run shot in the fifth to cap off his massive afternoon. He has now hit seven home runs in his last nine games and is slashing .270/.326/.497 on the season with 18 long balls and 47 RBI.

 

CarGo wouldn't be a bad guy to try and go get for this lineup. It'd be an interesting acquisition for protection for Abreu.

Don't underestimate the Coors Field effect. However, I agree that it would be interesting!

It was just another crazy prediction. I'm not pounding the table for it but if we decide against selling or even want to move Shark and get a bat, then CarGo would be an interesting piece. For the fact that he's been hurt and is having a decent year this year and has played in 88 games. He's been somewhat healthy this year. Could be a very intriguing and KW does have a history of outside the box moves. Plus I love CarGo. He's my favorite player not on the Sox. I'm biased lol.

 

Contract details: '16 he makes 17 million and in '17 he makes 20 million. Not sure what he's owed the rest of his 16 million this year. Obviously Colorado would be sending some money back in the deal.

With bats at a premium, this is the sort of deal you're going to have to make if you want one. I don't know that Colorado would be sending back much money, to be honest.

Tim Anderson, Avisail Garcia, and Frank Montas for Justin Upton

For one year of Upton I wouldn't move Anderson. Definitely intriguing because we need an impact bat in the worst way.

 

Edit: didn't realize he was a free agent. Definitely wouldn't move Anderson for him.

If the Sox suddenly felt like going for the rest of the season, I wouldn't mind seeing them make a play for Upton

Question;

Is Quintana worth Schwarber?

Straight up? Would rather have Q. Schwarber as a centerpiece of a multiplayer package? Might work.

Interesting. I don't think we would expect much else back IMO

I guess another thing we could think about is what we would have to add with Shark to get Schwarber back. That is the type of deal that helps the offense now and for the future.

He's a nice bat, but he doesnt have a position. He wont stick behind the plate and I dont think he has the athleticism for the OF. Hard to think the bat is enough to nab a 26 year old LHP that is consistently putting up 3 WAR seasons and has another 3-4 years of control.

Schwarber will be a DH eventually IMO. Meaning he'll be traded

I can't imagine the Cubs giving him up in a deal centered around a rental.

He's a nice bat, but he doesnt have a position. He wont stick behind the plate and I dont think he has the athleticism for the OF. Hard to think the bat is enough to nab a 26 year old LHP that is consistently putting up 4-5 WAR seasons and has another 3-4 years of control.

He's pretty much at 3 WAR this season already, and had over 5 WAR last year.

Ya, I meant it more as a "if he got hurt today, he's a 3 WAR a season player", but I completely agree he will likely be worth between 4-5 wins before the season is over.

Oh, and Jose actually has 5.3 years of team control remaining.

Man, looking at Q's numbers, I think he is actually getting better...
