I am dumping and my entire team has pretty much sucked this year except Tulowitzki. (The only other desirable trade chips I have are Bumgarner and Choo.)
We are a hybrid league with odd rules, basically equivalent to a 17-team mixed. We do not have long term contracts; instead, keepers are done on a year-to-year basis, and to keep a guy you give him a 50% raise from his salary the previous year. We can keep up to 6 and have a $75 cap instead of $260.
I have been offered Cueto ($3.50, translation $12, for 2015) and Segura ($2.25, translation $8, for 2015) for Tulowitzki (not retainable for 2015) and Uehara ($2.25, translation $8, for 2015).
The Puig owner has also expressed interest in Tulo. As Puig is $1.50 (translation $5) for 2015 and barring injury can be kept for a long time, it would take Tulo plus a bunch of other stuff (at least one of Bumgarner and Choo, maybe both) to get him.
In addition, TheGaffer (whom some of you know from the music drafts) has offered Kershaw ($9 ($32) for 2015) for "a stud hitter" (could only mean Tulo or Choo) and "a real good pitcher."
Should I empty the chamber for Puig or take (or make a counter on) the Cueto/Segura deal and look to shop Bumgarner and Choo elsewhere?
We can keep a maximum of 6 and possible-to-probable keepers already on my roster include Hamels ($3 ($11) for 2015), Anibal Sanchez ($3.50 ($12) for 2015), Crisp ($3.50 ($12) for 2015), Burnett ($3.50 ($12) for 2015), Alfredo Simon ($1.25 ($4) for 2015) and whichever of Asche or Franco has the Phillies 3B job next year (both $1 ($4) for 2015). I also have Joey Gallo ($1 ($4) for 2015) in the mix if he looks to get to the majors by 2015.
Other guys I could trade that don't appear to be retainable for 2015 (because I apparently paid too much for them this year) are Matt Adams, Todd Frazier, Allen Craig, Kole Calhoun, Brandon Phillips, Kolten Wong, Justin Masterson and the Frieri/Smith LAA closer duo.
