I was just offered Herrera buy the guy who just gave him an extension in my 14 team mixed league. I thought it was a bad idea at the time, and I guess it has only taken him a week to agree, now that there is reporting that Herrera is in a time share.
The offer is his $11 Herrera that I'd have to buy out for $17 next year or keep for two more years after this one, and his Lester for my $5 Chris Taylor and my $1 Boxberger.
I don't like Hererra's contract clogging up a keeper spot for me, and that I'm giving two potentially good keepers, but I am more focused on this year now, and I am flush with relievers and could use another starter. Lester didn't look good last year or in his debut against the hapless Marlins, but I figure he will find a groove as a solid enough guy for me this year.
So, first, am I right in thinking I win this deal for 2018, and if so, is that enough to take Herrera's contract and give up a cheap Chris Taylor and Boxberger?
