[logan82]

Segura should have been able to get back.

 

 

Any stats on team outs on the bases available? Sure seems like the Crew makes more then its share...

The issue is come trade deadline who are we going to move. Segura, Braun and Gomez are the only guys you can"t move.

[trwi7]

I have no idea why people say we can't move Gomez. He's one of the main guys we should be looking to move. We have a young replacement. He's playing really well so his value is high and he's on a good multi-year contract to provide at least 2.5 years of production for another team.

[brewcrewdue80]

Few things on why can't move Gomez. 1, the teams in contention don't really need him. 2. Throwing away someone who's looking every bit a 5WAR and better CF to fix another need on the team while replacing him with maybe a 2WAR player seems like a losing proposition at this time. That incoming Prospect haul had better bring 16+WAR in players combined if not 25WAR.

 

He's a fan appealing player now. You would be turning off many fans unless there's literally a known top of prospect pool player coming back to us. I just posted in the Sellers at Deadline thread the list of available top 50 prospects and who has them. Unless Seattle or Pittsburgh decide to call us up to trade for Gomez...oh wait Pitt has McClutch and Marte...why need Gomez? So Seattle with a 21-29 currently want to trade for Gomez for obviously the Walker/Hultzen/Paxton/Franklin/Zunino names. Just not likely this season. Next though?

 

It's annoying to think of rebuild mode currently because the moves Miami,Minnesota,NYMets,Tampa,Arz,Clev made this offseason left the prospect pool rather dry because the contending teams have acquired their players already.
