  • Deal Bryant for...

    In a keeper league, I got screwed this year by Yahoo! and couldn't get into the draft until about every single decent player was gone. So insta-rebuilding mode!

    I managed to land Kris Bryant in a deal earlier this year for Carlos Carrasco (and other somewhat insignificant parts), but now a league mate is very hungry for Bryant.

    He offered Bumgarner-$7 and Puig-$7 for Bryant-$6. Salaries go up $3 or 20% each year, and you can keep as many players as you like. ($260 for each team) I turned it down. He's now swapped out Arrieta-$6 for Bumgarner in the original deal.

    My lineup is as such, and most everyone is at good prices:

    C-Schwarber (playing waiver wire game to try to keep a hot catcher on my roster)
    1B-C.Santana
    2B-Kipnis
    3B-Bryant
    SS-C.Seager
    OF-M.Brantley, C.Gomez, Braun, Conforto, Ellsbury, Souza (start 3, have 2 UT slots also)
    also have Moncada and Swanson sitting on my roster

    SP-J.Zimmerman, Taillon, Shields, Iwakuma, G.Gonzalez
    RP-Robertson, Vizcaino, Storen, May

    He also has J.Fernandez-$7, deGrom-$6, M.Franco-$4, A.Russell-$7, Trout-$7, and Freeman-$7 that I'd be at least intrigued in, and is currently starting Justin Upton in the OF.

    I have wanted Fernandez for over a year now, would you take Puig and Fernandez for Bryant? I also thought about adding in Franco on his side and one of my outfielders on my side. I'm just not much a Puig believer...is it too early to lose hope in him?
    Considering his only baseball post in the past year was bringing up a 3 year old thread to taunt Hornsby and he's never contributed a dime to our hatpass, perhaps?

    I would need a better bat than Puig. Dont get me wrong, his offer is fair, whether its Bum or Jose, but I prefer the offense and if he is as hot for Bryant as you say, I need a different bat back than Puig.

      Looks like you would need to get Franco unless you have another option for 3B. So, i would try to get Franco plus one of Fernandez/Arrieta/Bumgarner/deGrom in that order of preference. And i wouldn't advise taking Puig.

        Agreed, but Arrieta would be #1 for me.
