Gleyber Torres for George Kirby and "a lefty hitting prospect like Jonathan Clase or Starlin Águilar. Probably too much to ask for Lazaro Montas instead."

Baseball Trade Values assigns Kirby 20 times the trade value of Torres.
Gleyber Torres, lefty reliever Lucas Luetge, righthander Deivi Garcia, catcher Antonio Gomez, outfielder Aaron Hicks and $11 million for Cal Raleigh and Jarred Kelenic.

Re: Finally! Official Hot Stove League Thread
You don't need a trade values website to know how ridiculous trades like those last two are. Any one with any ability for critical thinking could come to that conclusion on their own.
Re: Finally! Official Hot Stove League Thread
I agree but they obviously lack that critical thinking so they need some sort of crutch

Re: Finally! Official Hot Stove League Thread
I just saw a fan comment on MLBTraderumors thinking Seattle would give Kirby for Torres and Hicks
Re: Finally! Official Hot Stove League Thread
Whereas I understand JD's thinking on being patience I also like the idea of sweeping in while the "Big Guns" are kind of frozen waiting on the Judge and Turner chips to fall. Once that happens it's going to be a free for all . . . no pun intended.
Re: Finally! Official Hot Stove League Thread
Agree. He better not F it up trying to get too cute.

Re: Finally! Official Hot Stove League Thread
That is a good way of phrasing or thinking about it. We are not trying to be just better than last year but better than everybody else. I mean I LAA added Willson C at catcher and then a Bell or a ABreu at 1B and swung a Degrom deal to head the staff that is a potential winner.Sexymarinersfan wrote: ↑Wed Nov 23, 2022 11:34 amThe arms race is heating up. With the Angels making this move, I feel you can look at this one of two ways. Crap, the Angels are going to be tough this season. How can Jerry not pull the trigger on acquiring one of the Big 4 SS. The others identified of that coin is, maybe just maybe this light's a fire under ownership to go out and add more fire power. A lot of teams saw how close they came to making the playoffs last year. I see the Angels trading for Renfroe as a good sign for the M's. It's time to go out get another Big gun!GL_Storm wrote: ↑Wed Nov 23, 2022 3:41 amThat kinda sucks. I wonder if the M's were in on that at all? My guess is they want a lefty bat if they get another outfielder, so probably not.Pharmabro wrote: ↑Wed Nov 23, 2022 3:38 amHunter is off the table

If the M's added Senga and traded away Marco-Winker-Flexen, and added Chaffin, Turner, and Abreu that would be legit. And of course any of those front line starters in place of Senga would be fine: Verlander, Degrom, Rodon, etc.

This out 4 hours ago...

"Mariners open to adding another outfielder"
What I get from the article is that at least they are willing to trade Winker, Kelenic, or Trammell for a lower-upside but more stable veteran bat.
What does that make Winker, Kelenic and Trammell? Lower than lower-upside and unstable.
Besides the possibility of resigning Mitch Hanniger....
Other free agent possibilities include Andrew Benintendi, Jurickson Profar, Cody Bellinger and Washington native Michael Conforto, who’s looking to reestablish himself as a middle-of-the-order caliber hitter after a season lost to shoulder surgery.
Benintendi nice power!
I like Profar too. He would keep the line moving.
