Trade Targets thread

Let's try someone different...how about the lefty swinging Jazz Chisholm? 115 OPS+....positional versatility and is available now. Everyone keeps wanting slow RH power hitters that come to Safeco and hit balls to the warning track. Let's add some more speed to the lineup and put pressure on pitchers rather than give them another high flyout to left.

Adam Frazier had a OPS+ of 114 when we traded for him. No more MID bats please.... He would cost more than Parades according to the site so no thanks.

And $25 or not trade values have always sucked.

You are saying in real life that the Dumpster fire that is the Marlins would extract more value than one of the smartest teams in Baseball??? Parades is not even arb eligible until after next season..Rays are not out of it...no way are they trading Parades except for an extreme over pay. Chisholm is arb eligible next year, which the Marlins won't want to pay, and is someone we can plug in now and not 2 months....and he is way more talented than Frazier ever thought about being besides being 6 years younger and a lot more Power.

Put down the trade values crap and come back to simple common sense.

Jazz started as SS and moved 2B. Then he moved to CF. He’s versatile, for sure. And when he’s at his best, he’s electric. He’s fast, he hits well - he’d be a good get. Not sure what it would take to get him, but would likely be worth the prospect haul.

DT will hate this, but we could trade for Jazz and then trade Julio. We had a conversation about this before and I know DT thinks he’s unmovable. But so was Juan Soto. Thank about what we could get for him. Jazz replaces JRod in CF and then we get a shitload of talent for Julio. Likely the combined value of the pieces we would get for Julio makes us instant contenders with a kick ass farm team to boot.

Yeah, it’ll never happen. It’s always fun to dream.

C'mon bro...

Juan Soto now with 17 dingers on the year... OPS well over 1.000... still just 25 years old... best friends with Julio.

If there we ever a player to give a 10-year $600 million deal...

I was talking about the trade to the padres from the Nats.

HOt take: DONT MAKE ANY MOVES FOR BATS. BUY ONE GOOD BULLPEN PIECE.

Here's the thing: M's have a 4-game lead in the division and they aren't even hitting well. Guys like Julio, Mitches, Canzone, Polanco and Raleigh aren't at their career norms in OPS. I think you can afford to wait for half of them (even pessimistically) to come around. And if the other half don't, you already have Bliss and Raley ready to step in.
I like Bliss at 2b. His baserunning is outstanding. The way he can put the heat on the opponent at the bottom of the order before things flip to Crawford, Rojas and Julio is going to be great in the postseason.
I don't see the point of giving away a bunch of young talent, talent that we need for 25 and beyond to really improve 3b, rf, 2b, 1b and dh, for some rental bat that may or may not be better than France, Raley or Garver.

Honestly, I think it's more important for the M's to coach up Julio, Raleigh and France, guys that aren't ever leaving the lineup, than it is to go buy a bat with coveted young players. You couple improvement from those 3 with the likes of Bliss, Raley and Garver making some big impacts, and you've got a quality offense. And we're already seeing Raley do his thing. Rojas is steady. We don't need to worry about 3b right now. That just leaves Crawford, Canzone and Hanny and I'm confident that the first and latter will be good in clutch moments when we need them to be. They're just too experienced and work too hard.

So many times teams overpay at the deadline with prospect capital for a player they think is going to push them over the top and so many times it really ends up doing more damage than it solves.

I hope Dipoto passes. Stick to the same strategy. Win 54 percent for 10 years. Be about the long term not just short term.
