Trade Correa for Machado?

[virgonomic]

12 team AL-Only 5x5

Give: Correa 40 Greene 3
Get: Machado 41 Cessa 1

Prices for 2018 only.
I'm in first by 27 points but my approach is foot on throat. I have no replacement for Correa.
Machado is a good one. Greene may get some saves but isn't a sure thing. Do I want Cessa or an open roster spot?

Team in sig.

No. Machado is a trade candidate and you'd get royally hosed if he gets traded to the NL.

I would still get his stats this year.

OK, but would you get to keep him next year if he's traded in the offseason?

No. Is Correa a keeper at $40?

In an AL-only? I'd think so. $260 cap?

Yes. Certainly more than Machado.

I'm shocked to see folks here talking about keeper value. I thought this was home of the Flags Fly Forever crew. Clearly Machado helps massively this year. i'd pull the trigger, unless I thought I could get an even better active player. Keep your foot on the throats of your competition! And I'd want the open roster spot over Cessa.

Fair point. But Machado has scuffled this year. If you flip correa (even at that price) I think you could get someone more reliable.

Thoughts:

I got Correa for $40 this year. Our league usually runs around 10% inflation, so he's slightly under value for 2018. It's a lot of money to commit to one player, though. I probably wouldn't have kept him because I might get him back for a similar price.

I can receive Cessa and just drop him with my next FAAB bid. I don't see any other helpful players on his roster that I could ask him to throw in. Maybe hold Greene back and give another pitcher instead?

Give: Correa 40 Merrifield 3
Get: Machado 41 Gregorius 9
Done deal.

I like it. Didi has really blossomed this year.
