League of #Despair

[Condor13]

Its almost draft time so I'm putting thus out there again

I'm looking for a 3B.

Willing to part with 1-5

Willing to part with all prospects (but some only for a top tier 3B, guys like Wood and Soderstrom)

Also would be willing to discuss Luis Robert for a 3B (it would need to be top tier to move Robert)

More realistic options would be my top 100 prospects like Nick Yorke.

Also willing to move Oswaldo Cabrera, Michael Toglia, or Matt Carpenter for a comparable 3B.

Also open to going big in the right deal

[MikeM3]

13th overall available for 2B, 3B or SP

[williamrecruiter]

Seems like a lot of people need IF help. Were still looking for a upgrade at SS and SP.

Available:
Jean Segura - 2B now will get 3B
Jon Berti - 2B/3B/OF
Brandon Crawford - available for SS upgrade
Kiki Hernandez - CF, sounds like he gets SS and 2B too this year
Whit Merrield - 2B/CF
Connor Norby - 2B high level prospect
Lonnie White Jr. - high upside power/speed

My price to move down from 1-2 is something like: first rounder this year, a top 25ish prospect and a future second rounder. I know it's a big price but it's the only way I'm moving down.

Jhoan Duran could still be had for a 1st + top-100 prospect

[Jimcanuck]

Man, what's up with these prices. I'd be interested but not wasting my time if the ask is exorbitant.

The prices of relievers have been high I found this offseason and managers have been willing to pay. Heck even myself with Bednar.

Maybe I'm just getting ornery in old age.

Since to land an elite SP, the price is way more expensive. So better trying to trade for a bullpen ace if it's a top pick or two rather than trading the farm if you're looking to improve your pitching staff. Again depends on the arm obviously and saves in a 30-team league are definitely more valuable than in a 20-team league lets say. But yeah bullpen arms are volatile so it could come back to bite haha.

[MikeM3]

Dumbass Rockies franchise cornerstone and all-star Daniel Bard will save 2x as many games as every reliever traded this month thanks to the sinker he started throwing at 100 mph just last year.

[BTS]

Would move pick 116 for a 4th in 2024 or 2025. Could also use it to move up from 114.

Tyler Ivey - SP in Houston could get some innings
Daniel Castano - SP in Miami could see some innings
Blake Treinen - If anyone wants to sit on him for next year Dodgers paid him even while hurt

Hitters:
Jean Segura - 2B now will get 3B
Jon Berti - 2B/3B/OF

What's the price on Bard?

[MikeM3]

What's the price on Bard?

less than Duran or Jason Adam but 5x the saves!

The also-rans should be asking for exorbonant prices from contender really. If you are trying to win a ship, you got to give up the future. I truly don't have any pieces which are going to put anyone over the top but after years of not caring about this pool I'm going to actually try in my rebuild and I'm going to put the screws to those teams who somehow have built a contender but have pieces I need in that rebuild. It makes me a tough trade partner I know but I don't want to waste anyone's time. Even my Bichette deal. I didn't get nearly enough IMO. But I actually have time to research this years draft so hopefully I can actually do something with the 3 firsts.


I should add I'm not talking about spot starters that you might need to swing a matchup, but has zero part of my future. Or late picks that will likely go to waste for me. I'm still more than willing to move pieces like that at fair market value or just to the person who offers me something while I'm in a good mood (about 3% of the time these)

Sent you something for 1-2, trouble is the guy I want is not one of the top 2 but probably won't be there at 1-7. So I'm not prepared to overpay just to take a guy early off the board.
