Matt Olson and Luis Castillo are available for trade

I could see the Yankees going hard after Olson, and they historically don't give two shits about what prospects they have to give up. I could see Peraza leading that package. Maybe Peraza, Wells, and an arm. Or something like that.

I've been hearing a lot of rumblings out of NY for them to go hard after Olson too.

But what would it take to get him? I think the conversation STARTS with Voit, Domingo German and Gleyber Torres. I

What?.... that is about as homer a trade suggestion as I've seen, let's clean out the players we don't have use for and get Matt Olsen

I could see an Olson trade around a guy like Hancock.

Or Stoudt/Williamson if Hancock is really untouchable.

I think ice is right, quantity could get it done. 1B don't typically draw the trade value as other positions because most good teams have a good 1B.

I think Williamson is the biggest prize at the moment out of those three. That would be the hardest one for me to swallow at this point, but I'd gladly do it for M. Olson, as I think acquiring a left handed power bat is more crucial than a SP that could possibly be had in free agency. I would try to trade Stoudt or Hancock though before Williamson if I could. I've been hearing great things about Brandon from Baseball America. He was a steal in the 2nd Rd.

Let's go Brandon!!

And still blows away any offer we can make if we hang onto all of our top prospects.

I still have no fucking idea what he is saying now that I read the whole thing again. Dude's a nut.

First he say NO scenario and the says if it is more than a year which is obviously a VERY common scenario. Dude needs a translator.

Chapman is a RH version of Seager, just someone to complain about. We need LH bat

What makes you say Olson isn't an option?

It likely means the departure of All-Star infielders Matt Olson and Matt Chapman, who should bring in a horde of prospects. They each are eligible for salary arbitration for the second time this winter, and are under club control through the 2023 season.

Because we will be competing with GMs that aren't idiots that realize hoarding their top prospects is idiotic.

Agreed, but the equalizer is that we're also competing with GM's whose top prospect may not be top 4 or 5 in our system, which imo are the only ones Dipoto means are untouchable. The "prominent" guys.
