The Rangers' Adolis Garcia Is A Sneaky Trade Deadline Target The Brewers Should Pursue

Interesting they need to add a bat 

Would love a move like this. Wouldn’t imagine it would take any of our top guys to get it done either 

I'd take this, especially if cheaper than a Suarez and since he has the extra year of control.    Quick look seems Collins has done more 2B than 3B in the minors, so another way to make this worth would be if they are ok with Turang moving midseason to SS.   Collins can bounce around as backup OF and share games with the non Turang IFs for the other two spots.    Gets Mona off the roster 

Quintana and Perkins or Collins for Aroldis Garcia if Texas wants to try win now….who says no?

Otherwise,, Aroldis Garcia for Ernesto Martinez and Tyler Yeager.

2023 average bWAR/fWAR = 4.55

2024 average bWAR/fWAR = 0.05

2025 average bWAR/fWAR - pro-rated to a full season = 1.9 

He'd project to a 2.2-2.3 WAR player currently.  That would make him a 3.3 WAR player for the rest of this year and next, but I will subtract 0.5 WAR from that number as he is currently 32 years old and rule of thumb is you take off 0.5 WAR per year for players over 30.  So I would guess the market sees him as being good for 2.8 WAR from now until the end of 2026.

2.8 WAR * 8 million per WAR = 22.4 million

Will make about 4 million this year and I'd project 12 million in arbitration next year.  22.4 million - 16 million = 6.4 million in surplus value.

I'd guess a reasonable trade would be something like Bryce Meccage plus a lottery ticket, or Blake Burke plus Carlos Rodriguez.  Something along those lines.

I don't think there's enough in his profile to believe that he's going to improve that much. I think he's on the wrong side of the aging curve, and we're better off with Collins manning left.

Gross.
