Do You Entertain Offers For Hiura Right Now? (Ideas?)

[gebc1997]

My son said he would only trade Hiura for Mike Trout, Babe Ruth, and Jesus. On paper it sounds good, but I’m concerned on Jesus’ xwOBA and his UZR is -0.7, so I would have to pass

I think Stearns should holdout for a long ton rather than a s-ton.

Each day we seem to hear more about someone who available in a trade the final piece will come when Yelich is on the block too.

I’m pretty much in agreement with your son. I suppose I’d also trade Keston for Thor (the superhero from the Avengers, not the pitcher from the Mets)

No, I would not entertain offers for Hiura. He and Woodruff are the only two players in the organization that I would put the "traditional" untouchable label on. There are a few more players that I wouldn't be interested in dealing, but that's only because their value has been driven so low that I would rather just hold on to them because the upside still outweighs a "nothing" return (examples being Arcia, Ray).

Pretty much the same here, only I'd add Yelich to the list.

 

I'd deal Hiura to a team like the Angels... for Adell, La Stella, and Ohtani.

 

That's not gonna happen.

I floated the idea of putting Yelich out there and asking a sky-high return about a week ago. The only reason I would be willing to do that is because, next off-season, I'd be offering him a 5 year, 160 million dollar extension (as high as I'd go), and when he'd reject that, then I'd be actively shopping him. I just don't think small market teams can wait until the trade deadline in the final year of control and then have to settle for a back end top 100 prospect and a couple of other so-so prospects. So while I wouldn't be shopping him this off-season, I would next off-season assuming he'd decline an extension offer.
