Trading for Kyle Tucker

[Sour Masher]

I have an offer on the table where I get Kyle Tucker, who just got an extension to $25 for five years, for my Teoscar Hernandez $9 for two years, Cristian Javier $5, extension due next year, Emmanuel Clase $5, extension due next year, and Kahlil Watson. The extra years for Tucker are obviously valuable, but given the prices, it seems to me like I am giving a bit too much. Is it, or should I pony up to lock up Tucker for the next half decade?

4 for 1. Who are the players coming back to even out rosters? Any value there?

Not in my 14 team league--he is tossing back Tanner Scott and Leody Taveras. I tried swapping out Javier or Clase for Pagan, but he won't go for it. However, I suspect I can get him to include Miles Mikolas or Chad Kuhl.

That seems too much to give up

I think you're giving up way too much.

[Sour Masher]

What if I offer him 3 of the 4 and hold the line there? He would give up on Clase before the others.

Pass. Teoscar and Tucker have similar value, and Tucker @ $25 is probably not too far off from his max salary value. But Teoscar at $9 is a huge bargain, plus a closer, plus a potential starter.....no chance.

We keep 15 plus 20 minor leaguers and $400 instead of $260, so there is massive inflation (close to 100%)...all the players are way under what they would go for in the auction.

So Tucker would go for 60 or 65 at auction ? That makes it a better offer. I would consider it depending on the rest of your roster, whether you are trying to win this year etc. But for sure try to pull one of your guys from the deal or get something added on the other side

I agree with this. Depends on the rest of your roster, but if you can get another piece back or pull Clase back, I'd be tempted.

I've also heard Watson is struggling a bit, so maybe dealing now before his value falls is a smart play.

[Sour Masher]

Yeah, both Tucker and Hernandez would go for in the 60s. I am definitely trying to win this year and the Tucker owner is a rival contender. But half my keepers are done after next year, so snagging a longterm 1st rd talent for five years is tempting. He will not budge on his ask, but is willing to give kuhl and mikolas back.

Unless it is a shallow league where Javier/Clase don't have much value, I think you are helping your rival a lot more than you are helping yourself.

14 teams, but deep, 30 man rosters, 4 IL, 20 man minors. It definitely helps him more this year. Long term, 5 years of Tucker is very tempting. I guess it comes down to how much faith in javier and clase I should have. I like Javier, but I fear he gets bumped by mccullers eventually. I am rooting for karinchak over clase, because of the k rate disparity, but the consensus is Clase is elite, it seems.

It’s a very tempting offer, imo. Another small piece, perhaps a solid minor leaguer, coming your way and I’d do it.
