Framework of Bellinger for Bohm/Castellanos is a wash money wise. I know we're trying to spend Bellinger's $$$ elsewhere, but trading for a cost controlled SP is still on the table at some point. 

That is a very light framework as far as the Phillies are concerned. So you mean Bellinger and Suzuki for Bohm and Castellanos? Money aside is that fair. It does solve some issues. Phillies get outfielders, Cubs get a 3rd baseman and a guy who will DH.

Castellanos is a complete money dump. Owed 2 years $40m. They're attaching him to Bohm to get from out under that contract and want more flexbility at DH and better OFers. Suzuki would not be going back. I don't know what it would look like prospect wise, but Bellinger makes a lot of sense for what they need and unloading Castellanos makes a lot of sense for them. And then it opens up 3b for lets say Bregman for them.

I'm preparing to lose Smith but really hope Caissie is the main prospect.

If it's really Paredes+Caissie+Wesneski like that one tweet said, that's pretty much best case scenario

Well if we took Castellanos that would mean Suzuki gets traded. Maybe that trade nets them a pitcher.

Since the Yankees moved a pitcher for Williams, I have to imagine that they are out on Tucker because without Gil the Astros dont seem interested, assuming their owner would approve the deal. I have to assume that means they are probably heavily in on Bregman. So what does a Bellinger for Oswaldo Cabrera deal look like? If the Yankees get Bregman, they still have LeMahieu locked through 26, Cabrera becomes the odd man out. Is Cabrera a better option than say Moncada at 3B? Cabrera is certainly more versatile in the event he just ends up on the bench.

The worst, most terrified GM in baseball on the verge of turning Chris Morel and the 73rd best prospect in baseball into a 180 wRC hitter over multiple trades in a 6 month period
