Having some fun with some offseason trades. I wanted to get your input on one I'm trying to put together.
Situation - 15 team 23 man rosters (2 catchers) mixed league. I have a deep keeper list 1-20 (we keep 15). I'd like to improve my top end. Another team has a great top 4 ($7 Flaherty, $3 K. Marte, $11 Suarez, $13 Bieber), but after that most of his players are on par after inflation is considered (typically ~40%). For example he has $22 Castellanos, $28 Abreu, $43 S. Marte, $3 Molina.
A trade where I send 4 players, to build his depth, and get back one of those top 4 makes sense to me as it improves the keeper profit for both teams. But the old adage of treasure for trash gets in the way, and I don't want to make a bad offer that he should not take. In the offseason when building keeper lists I think this is a deterrent to making some good trades, because in most cases net profit is key (with some exceptions). But obviously I want to send a fair trade, or even more than fair, I'm willing to overpay in $s gained to make it work).
His $13 Bieber by my numbers is a ~$15 profit and he would be my primary target (although Flaherty and Marte are truly better values, I don't think I can afford them).
I'd like to send something like $15 W. Contreras (~$6 profit), $1 B. Lowe (~$9 profit), $10 Senzel (~$4 profit), $4 Hampson (~$8 profit)
Another thing to consider is contract type. Bieber is on a C contract and Contreras is on a B, Lowe and Hampson are C. Senzel is Z so 2020 is his last year before going back to the pool.
In sum, that would send ~$26 for ~$15 in net profit. I *think* I'd extend Bieber, so it's really closer to $10 on his side if I went that route.
Is that a fair deal? Contreras, Lowe, Hampson, Senzel for Bieber?
If I add much more it makes it a net loss on my side (I can take some of my 16-20th best keepers and fill in for the holes, but eventually that dries up).
Anyway, just brainstorming and thought it would be interesting to ask the board.
*Note, my profit calculations include inflation of ~40% currently
**Note two, sorry for the long post!
