Offseason Trade Ideas

[Guest]

don't toy with my emotions

Bryant +??? for Puig?

 

I wouldn't do it.

No chance id trade Bryant for him. No way.

 

Why?

[Gilby]

If Hanley leaves, they could use a shortstop.

 

Is Colletti going to keep his job long enough to trade him?

[Clem Fandango]

If we're gonna give up prime pieces for a right fielder, they're going after the wrong right fielder.

I was surprised to see Puig is about 1 year younger than Stanton

Is this 2008? Use a board style with the profile pic on the right. All the cool kids are doing it.

I have a favorite for it, but I still want it there.

 

Dominion or whatever has it, but screw that inverse colors crap.

I doubt the Cubs would be able to get it done without including Russell or Bryant. I'd still do it though (assuming our front office believes he can play CF).

[Guest]

I can't even begin to speculate on what it would take to trade for Puig. The entire idea comes from a place of extreme irrationality to begin with, plus with the Dodgers you have the 'what do you get the guy who has everything' problem. Bryant is probably a pretty good guess as a headliner though, he(or Soler, who they don't have space for) has the highest trade value and Juan Uribe can't put up +75 UZRs forever.

 

It's probably even less likely but the 'irrational early deal of a franchise cornerstone' that fascinates me is Harper. He was only averageish this year, he's had his injury troubles, the Nationals need to stay competitive while preventing half their franchise from walking away in 2016, and there's a shade of the Puig/attitude as a corollary. Soler would make sense to both make room for Harper and give them a cost controlled keystone OF. Russell would slide in nicely at SS in 2016 letting Desmond walk. Like < .1% chance of happening, but it's interesting.

Rizzo isn't dumb like Coletti though.

[Guest]

Probably, I did say it was less likely. Harper was a good bit worse than Puig though, and there's at least some semblence of a reason to trade Harper that makes sense compared to Puig getting traded for sideburns length or whatever.

Au contraire, mon frère, Harper hit when it mattered.

i find it weird guys with avatars turned off have avatars

You can't trade Soler for Puig. With Puig, we'd be a good minor league season away from Almora joining the outfield for an all Cuban outfield.

[sneakypower]

or you could throw him in CF and sign Yasmany Tomas

[Layoutman]

If Puig is dealt to Chicago the centerpiece will be Castro and he will slide into Ramirez's spot at SS. Anything less than that will cause the dodgers fan base to riot. They are in win now mode and they are not going to want to wait on prospects to develop. They currently have good prospects that are blocked on the major league level.

 

If it's true that he is being shopped one has to wonder what kind of clubhouse cancer he is. Young and stupid I know but enough to run him out of town after 2 years?

 

Clashes with Mattingly + being benched for game 4 along with major maturity issues.... They have logjam in the outfield, need for a SS and in need of bullpen help. Puig will return more value than any other outfielder in their organization. This rumor might have traction.

 

Castro + Bullpen arms + ??? could maybe get this done.

They've got Corey Seager coming up at SS. Frankly, I'd think they'd be more in the market for a third baseman, but if they'd take Castro as the main piece, you have to do that. But I don't think they would.

 

There is a logjam in the OF, especially with Pederson in the picture, but there are a couple of better options to move. But then again, Colletti is a moron, so who knows.

Neither Seager /Baez are going to put up better numbers than Castro for the next year or two, that's why I didn't bring up Baez. Seager can always transition to 2B/3B in a year or so. Uribe was a pleasant surprise for them and should be around again next year. The outfield, as you mentioned, is jammed now even more so when you consider Dee Gordon should be playing CF rather than 2B.

 

The clubs match up well. Both clubs would be dealing from a position of strength. Cubs might have to sweeten the deal by including another prospect and/or take on a bad contract to get it done. It's not everyday that you get an opportunity to trade for impact talent like Puig. That puts Puig in center while Alcantara moves to 2B and Baez would get a full season at SS to sink or swim. Russell will be ready by then. If Bryant doesn't stick at 3B there are still options to fill that need, which in turn, could allow Schwarber to concentrate on catching and not get rushed into playing left field.

 

Renteria would be the perfect person to get the most out of Puig and help smooth some of his abrasive behavior. Can't help but think that having Puig and Soler on the same team could bring positive results.

 

Colletti is a tool and there are rumors that is going to get canned with Friedman from Tampa coming in to GM.

Seager's going to be a third baseman pretty soon I think.

I have less of an issue with Puig's "abrasive" behavior than I do with the fact that he's stupid. And I don't think it's "young and dumb" so much as stupid stupid. I don't think he's going to outgrow it. Be he's so talented it doesn't matter all that much.
