Would love it, but I don't think Megill and Crow would be enough, you'd probably have to add in a Hardin or Letson, plus maybe even someone else.

For me I wouldn't give up one of those higher end pitchers just because it is one year of Alcantara, you could be correct on the value for sure. I do think the bidding for Sandy would get a little out of hand if he is made available.

Get ready for a boring off season..... 

C- Contreras and Sanchez

1B- Vaughn and Fischer or Burke

2B- Turang

3B- Ortiz

SS- Pratt

OF- Chourio, Mitchell, Lara, Frelick

Utility/DH- Yelich, Free Agent (Gavin Lux), Adams

SP- Miz, Henderson, Gasser, Hall, Drohan

Pen- Megill, Uribe, Ashby, Wagoner, Romero 🤞🏼, Patrick, Sproat

I am just saying that we have plenty of pitching depth and Hunter Goodman would be awesome. Even if we keep William for a year Goodman could be the backup catcher, platoon at 1st, and DH and be an extremely important bat.

Would Sproat, Crow, and Hardin be to cheap? We could throw in Vaughn (or send to a 3rd team) if we would want Goodman to play more 1B.

I think it will take a better package than that for Goodman.  I don’t see the Rockies parting ways with Goodman unless they are getting one or two really good prospects back.

[Soupy]

Would Peña be that good prospect?

3 years of Joey?

Adamczyski would play well there?

Payne and any number of pitchers

we have the talent to make it happen

MA2 will get to decide

If we traded all three of those pitchers to the Rockies, I would be very sad for them, VERY SAD!  Colorado is pitcher hell, it would seem almost mean spirited to deal all three of them to that unforgiving pitcher's hellpit.

DH at bats would be far and few between with Yelich under contract for two more years.  It would have to be back-up catcher and 1B.  I'm inclined to see what we have in Burke, Adams or even Fischer at 1B next season, and it would cost us nothing!

Joey? ok...  Then who plays 3B?  Hamilton full time?  nope

Adamczewski - nope

Payne plus pitchers - No way

Just Payne - No way

 

[cragi]

between Williams, Fischer, Adams and Hamilton we'd better be able to fill that position

[jay87shot]

There has been alot of chatter that other teams will be calling about Joey this offseason with Made getting close. I think the only way I would be willing to trade Joey is for a 3 quality prospect player return which includes 1 high end arm or a qulaity young contolled pitcher who has at least as much team control.

Unless you get a really strong offer, which I doubt they'd get anything massive due to his so-so offense, I'd keep him as the utility/insurance guy.   Hamilton is fine in that role, but Joey would be better.  Plus, if Turang doesn't start doing better vs lefties he could take a good chunk of Turangs vs lefty starts.   And of course, injuries happen so its good to have such a good backup ready to go since there will likely be at least a month of starter's injuries.    And if Made doesn't sign an extension you can keep delaying his debut as much as possible if you have Ortiz

[wallus]

If the return is high and Made is coming up, you absolutely sell Ortiz.

Then I think you are hanging onto to Joey...  That is way to big of an ask imo.

It is a big ask, Joey was on pace to be a 5 WAR player the 2nd half. For a controllable high end defender we should get like a Kyle Harrison style starter and some decent prospect pieces. All it takes is 1 desperate team to overpay for a really good half season.
