I'm thinking of making this offer. Odor is $6 in his option year and Tanaka is $5 in his option year. I have Kershaw $44 in his final year and will be extenting Verlander to $18 which will give me 2 years at that price. I'm keeping Kenly at $14 and Ottavino at $5.
I have T. Turner & Villar but will still need a MI. I was willing to trade Tanaka more before he started killing it this spring. I am now even considering extending him 1 extra year. If this trade were to go through I'd have to draft 5 starters. I usually go for low end guys except for 1 stud and 2-3 semi studs. So I take 2 or 3 $1/$2 guys. This year it is looking like 4 of those guys bc i don't want to over spend on pitching. If I get rid of Tanaka it will be 5 guys. I'd likey spend no more than $10 on 5 pitchers. I couldn't get anybody close to Tanaka's level for $5. I would have to get lucky with fliers which has happened many times before and is possible but relying on finding 5 of those finds as opposed to 2 or 3 may be tough.
On the other side. I would feel much more comfortable extending Odor so likely 2 years with good value. Like most I like hitters over pitchers. My options to fill the MI spot are not very good given all the keepers the league has in place. I'd end up with someone like Schoop or Pedroia for $5-$10
thanks for any thoughts
