Which side? AL keeper trade

[SlideRule]

Which side of this potential trade do you like best? League is 10-team AL-only, with contracts keepable up to their "C" year.

A) Bregman $2B / Osuna $7C

B) J. Ramirez $4B / E. Diaz $5B

Coin flip. Smarter people than me think Ramirez is a regression candidate, so I lean ever so slightly towards side A. Enough to give up a year of control? Probably. I really like all 4 of these guys.

[cool hand]

Wow that is close. I lean towards the extra year of Diaz, but that's an outstanding couple of pairings.

[Sour Masher]

Yes, very close. I LOVE Diaz, but I also LOVE Bregman, maybe more. In a coin flip, I usually go with the side with the best player--Bregman.

[Hornsby]

Yeah, Bregman side, not a Ramirez believer.

Side A, but it is close

Nice players. Bregman has the power over Ramirez. Ramirez has the speed potential, however.

The question would be answered better in the context of team's need.

In today's game where speed is valuable, I'd probably lean towards B, also reaping an extra year in Diaz's contract vs. Osuna's.

I like A. We have seen the best of Ramirez. Its good and it may repeat but its not getting better. Bregman has the higher upside. A closer can easily not be the closer in 3 outings.

[chancellor]

I like A as well, but as others have said, this is darn close.

[SlideRule]

Thanks all. I'm the Ramirez/Diaz side. Have agreement from the other owner and am tempted to pull the trigger.

Welp, this trade isn't exactly working out as planned. I did guess right on Diaz not being the second coming of Rivera, and Osuna has him beat on value there. But as for Bregman vs. Ramirez, JRam is crushing this year! I predicted a solid season with some regression, but this is pretty impressive from him! The question remains whether Bregman will step it up a notch in the 2nd half... I'm hopeful. Anyone else surprised by Ramirez this year?
