Dunt Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 QUOTE (raBBit @ Dec 2, 2016 -> 01:20 PM) Agreed. I really, really hope they are entertaining trading Jones. If I had it my way (w/ only assuming on the potential returns obviously) I'd trade Sale, Frazier, Jones, Jennings and Melky. I think they'll trade Sale, Frazier, Jennings and Robertson. You think Frazier or Robertson return a top 100? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bighurt574 Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 QUOTE (steveno89 @ Dec 2, 2016 -> 01:24 PM) We still need to field a team next year, keep that in mind You might even be better off trading Sale now, and keeping guys like Robertson and Frazier to see if they have strong seasons and flip them at the deadline to a contender? The return for a Frazier rental if he has a strong season could be considerable If we're truly in all-out rebuild mode, there's nothing wrong with tanking for a year or two and adding a few top draft picks to whatever prospect haul we can get for guys like Sale, Q, Eaton, etc. That said, I doubt the sell off is that drastic.

If I'm the Sox I go to the Nats with Eaton and say "we'll give you 3 more years of Eaton for whatever you're offering for McCutchen". It should be roughly a package like you mentioned.

bighurt574 Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 I'd take that in a heartbeat, but no way the Nats offer two top 10 prospects and then some for Eaton.

This. Less miles on Eaton as well compared to Cutch. Under team control longer and cheaper. Eaton definitely is worth Robles, Giolito/Fedde + one more piece.

Yup. Younger, 3 more years of control, elite defense, only $10.8 million more on that entire deal. Eaton would easily fetch that package and probably more.

Perhaps, at least if you go by last year's numbers. Eaton just doesn't have the same star quality or ceiling as McCutchen (who is still just 30). That shouldn't really matter, but I still can't see a franchise cleaning out a strong farm system for Eaton (though he's certainly worth more than McCutchen). Might as well go after Sale if you're willing to give all that up. Edited December 2, 2016 by bighurt574 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That shouldn't really matter, but I still can't see a franchise cleaning out a strong farm system for Eaton (though he's certainly worth more than McCutchen). Might as well go after Sale if you're willing to give all that up. Couple other things worth thinking about from the Nats perspective.... The Nats may not care as much about years 3-5 of Eaton's deal as they do about maximizing years 1-2. A guy worth 6 WAR in each of years 1-2 is worth more to them than a guy putting up 4 WAR 5 straight years, because they're going to lose Harper after 2018 so they have only a 2 year window. The Nats also have a strong RF right now, so you also have to ask yourself who will do a better job for them in CF. Eaton was a weak CF in 2014 and a strong RF. Cutch was an average CF in 2015 and terrible in 2016. If you're betting on him recovering his all-star form, I'd bet on Cutch as more likely to be a solid CF than Eaton, if I had some idea of waht hit him in 2016.

If that's McCutchen's price, they will not touch Sale without Turner coming to Chicago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
