Proposal: Morel for Bregman

Bergman is likely to be traded. What say you?

I'm not smart enough to know the baseball ramifications of that one but I hate Bregman's stupid face so I'll pass

Here's a fun game, one of these is Madrigal's season line in 56 PA, and the other is Bregman's in 154 PA:

 

A: .201/.273/.266

B: .208/.250/.264

What about Bergman, though?

[Rex Buckingham]

Absolutely not. Bregman is a FA after this year, right? Morel is at least an equal bat right now.

Here I was going to propose a long-term contract for Morel.  The underlying #s say he's been unlucky (.377 xwOBA).  Obvious power and now he's cut the Ks (21.8%) and started walking (10.9%).   He's taken a significant step forward offensively, and though he hasn't been good defensively, he's made strides.  Also, he's a ton of fun.

this is in the short running for the worst idea that i've ever seen proposed on this forum; i'm actually a little mad now at just how terrible this idea is

the guy who wondered about the possibility of offering a 3/15 extension to Ryan Sweeney made better sense, than doing a thing like this

[CubinNY]

I't's not a proposal. That was put in by the editors. It was merely something to get traffic moving. 

[sneakypower]

the only reason to seriously pursue a pending FA like Bregman is adopting a win-now attitude toward this season, so immediately remove our best (only?) power hitter from consideration entirely

he might be an intriguing option simply because our system is so deep and he'll likely garner pretty tepid interest, in that something to the effect of Hodge & Mervis or Arias and (either) Franklin gets you most of the way there i would suspect

unless he has a sudden unlikely power surge soon, he should be gettable for pieces you won't ever lose sleep over, unless Dana Brown is too stuck on his "back of the baseball card" nostalgia in which case you just move on
