AL Help - Would You Trade?

[Sharky]

Would appreciate input on this AL league trade possibility. I’m still an NL guy at heart. 5x5 AL 12 team.

Was asked if I would trade Arozarena $3 (option year in 2022; oddly all players involved happen to be optionable next year)

In return a package of
Verdugo $19
Bassitt $1
Barnes $5

I’m in contention (currently 3rd but not far out). Can pick up points in saves (no closer other than Merryweather). Can pick up points in Ks and Wins, though I just acquired Rodon and will have Luis Severino and Deivi Garcia back at some point. Still, would help to put down the accelerator. Reactions?

[Hornsby]

Yeah, I'd do it...Verdugo actually is a fair price and the other 2 are good prices. Especially if you need a closer, not many better than Barnes right now.

[Bene Futuis]

Seems fair to me, too.

[chancellor]

Same. I’d definitely take it.

[Sharky]

Thanks everyone. Very helpful!

I would be sending back a $3 Garrett Crochet and one more pitcher. Would you rather hold onto Nick Wittgren or Garrett Whitlock?

[Hornsby]

Whitlock, a better lottery ticket, IMO. Wittgren is pretty clearly 3rd in line in that bullpen...

[Sharky]

Thanks everyone. I ended up trading
Arozarena $3
Crochet $3
Wittgren $5
Nick Gordon $10 ($0 FAAB bid has $10 min salary)

for

Verdugo $19
Matt Barnes $5
Chris Bassitt $3
Jorge Soler $15 (final year)

Really appreciate the feedback and input.

[cool hand]

The Soler piece is a nice addition, IMO
