MLB 17 Trade Discussion Thread

I just realized that I made the Red Sox starting rotation basically unstoppable. Sale, Price, Porcello, Harvey. Woof.

In the event that I didn't want to part with Profar, could I build an extended combo around Gallo, Mendez, (Choo/Gomez/DeShields) +?

I kind of like the idea of riding with Profar a little longer. Shedding Choo would be hard with the $$$ involved I'm sure. I'm definitely open to including DeShields plus one, or even Gomez +.

I don't think the Profar plus Gallo offer would do. Yelich is on a super cheap deal and is a budding star. Choo is super expensive, Gomez just resigned for cheap which gives an idea of his value. DeShields is a 4th OF type.

Yelich is controlled through 2022 for around $63 million and has already been a mid-4's WAR guy twice before his age 25 season. I just don't think the Rangers have the pieces needed to make that trade happen. Profar has already eaten through a ton of his service time on the DL and Gallo's star has faded even if I still strongly believe in his bat.

Gamecocks brings up a very good point here. Rangers likely do not have what it takes, but 2 years ago totally.

Marcell Ozuna has been in rumors, and wouldn't cost nearly as much.

Once OFSM drops, was looking to bring some young pitching to the back end of the Yankees rotation. Willing to part with Mateo Rutherford and Williams to bring something back.

Any ideas?

Young pitching as in Sonny Gray, Julio Teheran, etc...? Yankees have a very good farm system, and could pull something off if you're willing.

That was my concern, thanks for the honest input. Maybe I can build something after dealing Darvish. I still need to find a good package for him.
