Lucroy Trades/Proposals (part 4)

[Madhawk23]

Since Boston is all-in right now, how about:

 

Devers, Kopech and Basabe for Lucroy

 

And if they want Jeffress involved in the deal as well, then we ask for Benetendi and an additional 18-19 year old lottery ticket pitcher.

 

I'm guessing they want nothing to do with giving up both Devers and Benetendi, but you have to give up a lot to get a Luc/JJ package deal.

[Oldcity]

A #mysteryteam you guys! I feel so alive!

[Oldcity]

Also, I'm about to the point where I don't want Lucroy playing anymore until he's traded, mainly for my own nerves.

[MilwaukeeBeers]

New Rosenthal piece states that the "Mets believe the Brewers are overreaching in their asks for Lucroy."

 

Lol because of course they do, ffs they offered d'Arnaud straight up. If I'm the Brewers Sandy Alderson is getting on my last nerve.

 

The more I look at d'Arnaud's value, the more "less crazy" this offer seems.

 

Yes, it is a lowball offer. But you get a guy who, without injury is projected to put up all star numbers, all while under arbitration level salary.

 

I would put his surplus value at a bottom of around $20 million. And this is a very conservative estimate, and it doesnt factor in what you get from him for the last two months of the season which could really be in the neighborhood of $11 million.

 

D'Arnaud and a guy like Robert Gsellman, and a throw in from low A ball would not be a horrible trade.

 

Does ignore the rebuild timeline though.

Just stop. The Mets must have gotten to you too.

David Stearns needs to leak to the media, 'We feel the Mets asking price on d'Arnaud is just too steep. We offered them their choice of either Kirk Nieuwenhuis or Chris Capuano straight up and they wouldn't budge.'

I don't know if it's likely, but I'd love to do a deal with Dombrowski. He's decisive and not whiny. He understands value both ways, which is helpful in working out a good deal.

 

Between Devers and Benintendi, I'd push hard on Benintendi. He would finally give us a top flight outfield prospect. They don't want to give him up, so it would have to be for a big move for them.

[Jose Cardenal1]

Sounds like Mets are disgruntled because they can't/won't pony up for Lucroy and/or Jeffress like other teams have indicated. I have a feeling Dombrowski is going to swoop in and blow Stearns away with an offer. Moncada?!?!

[miggs721]

If a deal with Boston were made, I would have to believe Swihart would be included

Don't get my hopes up!

[Mr Southpaw]

Just make the trade to the American League so Cleveland gets him or someone they play gets him. If Boston gets him, they would have no breaks in their line up and Cleveland would be having a catcher hit .100.

[fondybrewfan]

I just can't see a scenario where the Brewers can get Moncada. It like the equivalent of the Brewers trading Fielder, Braun or Weeks when they were in AA.

[Point Beer Is Best]

I just can't see a scenario where the Brewers can get Moncada. It like the equivalent of the Brewers trading Fielder, Braun or Weeks when they were in AA.

 

And they had already invested $60M to acquire.

[mattyo]

Hahahah I love this.

 

Benintendi and Moncada suggestions in the last few posts are why I love/hate the trade deadline. Love fantasizing about potential returns, but then build myself up to the point where I'm disappointed when we don't get bonafide untouchable players like the two above.

 

That being said... Lucroy + Jeffress for Moncada + Kopech. Anything less and Stearns should be fired

[Austin Tatious]

If we are daydreaming, how about Will Smith, Lucroy, and either Nelson or Guerra to Boston

 

Coming back Benintendi, Kopech, Swihart and a lottery ticket.

[wildcat2237]

I have reason to believe the "mystery team" is the Dodgers.

 

But we will see.

[mattyo]

Along the daydreaming lines...

 

What package do we need to pull together to snag Bregman from Houston

[And That]

I have reason to believe the "mystery team" is the Dodgers.

 

But we will see.

That was my thought too, though Grandal has been playing better. I'm thinking they might be looking more at Braun.

What?? No thanks. If we are giving up all of those guys to Boston, they better also be throwing in Moncado in the deal.

[Madhawk23]

Rosenthal reporting that the Tigers are one of the teams talking to Brewers about Lucroy. Do they honestly have any prospects in their system that would be worth our time?

[Austin Tatious]

I will pass on the Tigers system, although I don't know the situation with their lottery tickets, just like none of us really knew about Missaki, Herrera, and F Peralta before they came back from Seattle.

 

If we do trade with Detroit, let's not panic and we will have to do some serious studying.

Benintendi and Kopech are big gets. Swihart can be serviceable as a catcher. Lottery tickets would hopefully have upside.

[fondybrewfan]

That would need to be a creative deal for sure. It doesn't look like they have anything at the MLB level either that has that 4+ years of control left. There whole team is just old.

[mattyo]

I'd love to stay far, far away from Detroit, in more ways than one

[dacrew101]

Wouldn't even bother with Detroit

I'd take this deal in a heartbeat. Benintendi is widely considered the best OF prospect in the game, Kopech is potential frontline starter, and Swihart is a fantastic addition to the team.
