Right now, I have a solid 5 keepers - Mondesi, Trout, Nola, Paddack, and Singer - plus my 3 minors - Rutschman, brujan, and Jones. Who should be my 6th?

The Gallen $29 and Alvarez $7/2nd year owner is interested in Biggio. Who else could I include to get one or both?

[chancellor]

Keep Biggio and step away from the keyboard.

[Hornsby]

Do exactly as Chance says...

Trout? I guess you need to ask if there is anyone else the other owner is interested in

[Gregg]

Who has Juan Soto and how much is he?

[Gregg]

Who has Ron Acuna and how much is he?

[Ken]

Who has Mookie Betts and how much is he?

[Gregg]

Bumping this hoping DJ will answer. Not to challenge but have an open and fun discussion on how we might suggest some trades.

[DJRadar]

Acuna - $14 / 3rd year keeper
Soto - $14 / 3rd year keeper
Betts - $64 if kept

[DJRadar]

The Gallen owner is also interested in Mondesi possibly.

Why should I not trade Biggio or Mondesi?

[chancellor]

My POV is I would in no way give up Biggio or Mondesi and pay an added $13-15 for getting Gallen. I wouldn't even trade Biggio straight up for Gallen; I'd probably trade Mondesi straight up for him in your format.

[Bene Futuis]

If they were similar prices, I'd consider a deal straight up. That chasm ($14-16 to $29) is a very large one, though.

[cavebird]

I don't think I'd trade either of them straight up for Gallen if the prices were the same, even with the format. Biggio helps modify Mondesi at BB-K, and the SB, even minus CS, is still big. And Gallen has thrown 152 major league innings with a FIP of 3.64.

Agreed. If fact I know I wouldn't.

Weird way to argue it. Biggio has essentially one season of ABs and has hit .240. Mondesi has pretty much two full seasons of ABs and has an OBP of .284 and an OPS of .699.
