I would take Moncada 10/10 times over Arcia. If Arcia wan't such a good defensive SS, he wouldn't be top 10 prospect

Lucroy/Anderson for Swihart/Devers/Owens

Besides Catcher, what else do the redsox need?

Braun/Lucroy/Peralta for Moncada/Swihart/Castillo?

I know Lucroy could, but could Carter get you Dominic Smith?

http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2016/05/pirates-extend-francisco-cervelli.html Trade Value should have just gone up with how much he is making

That is the dumbest reason not to trade him.... You don't give him away, but if the right package comes along, you trade him

The equivalent would be. Would you trade Arcia for Braun/Lucroy? Giolito is the Nationals next SP post Zimmermann and Strasburg. I'd honestly think Arcia+Lucroy and you may entice them to part with him. Probably need to include one of the OF prospects as well. And yes while Arcia is #4 to Giolito's #1. What Giolito projects is a Kershaw/Bumgarner type of front line pitcher. Outweighs Arcia or any position player in value. It's tough to compare Weeks as a prospect who didn't meet what would be #5 expectations when he had the injuries. As would be any top rated prospect. Jurickson Profar suffered multiple seasons of injuries. He's still young and posting solid numbers in AAA. But with all his lost time due to injury, he won't have a career that appears a #1 prospect worthy ranking. Heck, take Arcia. Being #4. He's going to be a defensive wizard. The bat has come along enough to rate him this high. But, should he wind up closer to Andrelton Simmons with the bat, he'll be a disappointment to the high regard. I think a majority of Pitcher prospects who get traded like Bauer and Shelby Miller, that are higher in prospect regard end up being the ones who's control is questionable. Giolito isn't questioned in that way. From Draft day this was a guy believed to be the next Nationals Ace. not a #2 or a #3. An Ace. Sean Newcombe is the highest SP prospect of recently traded. It was ironically for Simmons. And the knock towards him reaching his ceiling is cut down on his Walks. I believe the Rangers have once again gone elsewhere acquiring Bobby Wilson from Detroit. Fun trade idea. Cleveland. Yan Gomes has produced zilch since his 6year contract of 23mil. They have one of the overall top SP rotations in baseball. Send them Lucroy...and Braun. Get back their #1 prospect Bradley Zimmer. Brady Aiken. Justus Sheffield and Juan Hillman. You're eating some of Braun's contract by taking away Gomes from them. Aiken may always remain a bust but he could also turn in to TOR. And you get Sheffield/Hillman as backup pitchers to reduce the risk of a completely failed Pitching prospect acquisition. Maybe Gomes needs change of scenery. At least with acquiring him you still have 2 Catchers and don't have to run someone up before they're ready from the minors. You cant think that way...We are in two different situations.

You want to take on Castillo so we have $10mil a year in dead money? We have no where to put him. Salary Filler - Plus with Braun leaving, we have room for him to play in LF Hopefully he gets his value up and trade him next season

Why do you want to keep a player that wont be here when we are good again? Keeping him is like Herb Kohl always going for the 8th seed

Eduardo Rodriguez / Castillo / Swihart for Braun / Peralta

Rusney Castillo / Swihart / Espinoza for Lucroy / Braun?

Next wave is 3 years away...Braun won't be the hitter he is today

So according to Baseball Tonight, Astro's are still in on Lucroy and Red Sox have interest in Peralta

Swihart and Devers for LuCroy - Done

Now Choo is out too...

Reed and Martes

They have Wood

They want Lucroy, but dont want to give up Reed

Turner and Taylor is what i want Taylor is a 20/20 guy that plays solid D - CF

Lucroy batted .290 with an OPS of .808 the second half of the season

Turner/Taylor for lucroy

Swihart and Owens. Done deal.

Reed/Moran

Turner/Taylor for Lucroy/Smith
