AL Trade: Going for it

[kawaise]

I agree with overkill - Britton should bring much more. How would the loss of his saves hurt you in the standings?

When is your trading deadline?

Now he wants to hang onto Sano but Moose and Reddick are back in play. I offered:

Bogaerts/Reddick
for
Kinsler/Britton

I'd have pushed "Accept Trade" on that offer so quick if I were the Bogy/Reddick owner that I might have broken my mouse.

Ha! Fortunately I didn't offer it through the league site. He isn't high on Kinsler and asked for Reyes instead in a previous offer.

Saves are

50 (Miller)
45 (Perkins, Uehara)
43 (me)
39
37
28

so I'd lose 0-2 points as I could still pass the 2 teams ahead of me. Our trade deadline is 17-Aug.

The 8th place guy just traded

Bogaerts 19 Reddick 14 Stroman 4
for
Kipnis 29 Quintana 21 and BJohnson 1

I guess he's 'going for it'. :S

The first place team offered me

Moreland 9 OR Trumbo 86 (5 this year) AND Nova 1
for
Britton 17

On the surface it looks light but Moreland has been hot. Thoughts?

I don't have a ton of faith in Nova. Moreland is a fair return for Britton. I do think he's legit. I would want more, but hey, sometimes saves can be tough to trade in season.

Thanks. He mainly wants Britton bc he owns him in another league. I don't like making trades for that reason, but hey, it's his team.

I asked about one of Betts/McHugh/Richards straight up.

ETA: He said he would consider McHugh for Britton.

Another dumping team has Carrasco 10X, Tanaka 22, Melky 6X, Holland 20X, VMart 28

I'm 22 below the salary cap so I'm interested in the first 3. I might have to sit Santana 28 though he's showing signs of life (and stealing bases).

During the past month Tanaka/Carrasco have been similar to Graveman 5 / Gibson 3. Will they be upgrades the rest of the way?
