Thoughts on a blockbuster

[DMT]

why dont you separate Taveras and Marte into two deals, one for each dumper? The one that only has Braun doesnt have anyone else useful he can add?

He has Buerhle and Lowrie. He dumped saves so he has no closers and I need another one. But I don't think he's interested in Marte.

The guy also just traded Jones in another deal so now about the best offer I could get would be Taveras & Paxton for Pagan, Greinke, and Mejia. Not sure he'd even accept that.

You might need to wait until others are in dump mode then.

I'm trying to pry another, this is on the table:

Mesoraco-5A, E Cabrera-20A, Taveras-1A, Bauer-6A, Paxton-8A, Balfour-6A

for

Yadi-4X, Reyes-17A, JUpton-32A, ASanchez-16B, Soria-6A

This would be my team:

Yadi
Goldschmidt
Kipnis
Reyes
Miggy
Beltre
A Escobar
Upton
Holliday
Bautista
Marte
Bruce
V Martinez

Strasburg
Darvish
Sanchez
Kazmir
Bailey
J Sanchez
Jansen
Robertson
Soria

I'd have Skaggs, Porcello, Lackey and Betances on the bench

That's a lot of injury risk in Sanchez and Reyes plus streaky performer risk in JUpton.

Thanks for the feedback. Ended up doing:

Taveras-1A, Bruce-32A, Betances-5A, Balfour-6A

for

Upton-32A, Cuddyer-13A, Grilli-7A, K-Rod-9A

I think it was decent...what's funny is we're both being criticized, me for not getting enough return for Taveras and him for giving up too much, lol.

Honestly, I don't think you got enough but good luck to you anyway!
