  • Trading Trout

    Ugh, after losing Seager I think I'm going to call it a season already. Sad yes but most of my other players (Carpenter, Rendon, Sano, Stroman) have been garbage and I'm languishing in 11th.

    Would you rather have Ohtani 3B or Acuña 21A?

    Another guy has Albies 5B and Hopkins 5B but he instead tried to offer Senzel 4A.

    thats a tough one.. i like Ohtani.. just because he's "dual" threat.. and there always seem to be a lot more OF's available.. although this year i think OF is kinda thin
    I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I've watched c-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those ... moments will be lost in time, like tears...in rain. Time to die.

      I assume that you have no intention of keeping Trout in 2019?

      Can you get any better offers for Trout or are these the best you think that you can get?

        Surprised you can get Trout just for 1 good keeper in that league.

          Is Trout an expiring contract? Because if he is, I'd take the extra year of Acuna...if he's not, I'd ask for Acuna+ and wouldn't deal him unless you got a boatload.

            The problem is, he's $77 so everyone is feigning hesitancy because we have a cap. I'm obviously hoping to get better offers but Ohtani is already on the table and I'm pretty sure Acuna will be available. I'm not going to rush it but just curious who folks like better between those two at their respective prices.

              Acuna, but you really can't lose with either one.

                I guess Acuna.

                  If they were the same contract I'd go Acuna.
                  But considering the contracts I'm on the Ohtani side here.

                    There's 5 months to go and the best player in the game is on the table. That is somewhat unique. I would be patient, and advertise. You hold all the cards. You would surely be able to make either of those deals in July as easily as now. Remind them that 5 months of A+++ production at the highest level is a unique opportunity that they should not squander. Then wait them out.

                      If Trout goes for 77 then give me the $21 Acuna, but I agree that maybe holding out for more is worth considering.

                        What are the 2nd and 3rd most expensive players (offense) in your league.

                        What are the chances of anyone keeping a $77 Trout next year?

                        How many years would you give Ohtani?

                        I think I pay the extra 8 bucks and take Acuna (assumes two year extension on Ohtani). You get this year and next to make extension decisions on Acuna.

                          No way he's kept. Next highest were Harper-61 and Altuve-60.

                            So you are saying you get Acuna and Trout on the same team next year?
