Steve9347 Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 (edited) Now's our chance. How often does a player like Carlos Correa become available for trade? Once or twice a decade? Source: https://theathletic.com/1450039/2019/12/10/rosenthal-sources-say-the-astros-have-considered-trading-carlos-correa/ Risk Correa has struggled to stay healthy the past few years, and he has what many would call a troubling history with his back. Reward Correa has MVP upside and produces like a franchise star when he plays. You roll the dice on him, and away we go. Cost Would the Astros take Tim Anderson, Andrew Vaughn, Zack Collins or James McCann, and Luis Basebe for the guy? Maybe! Anyway, this is the type of deal that can make us machines for the next decade. Scope this potential 2020 lineup alone: C Yasmani Grandal 3b Yoan Moncada SS Carlos Correa LF Eloy Jimenez 1B Jose Abreu DH Nick Castellanos (fuck it, get him, too) CF Luis Robert RF Nomar Mazara 2B Nick Madrigal It's boner time!

Look at Ray Ray Run Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 You'd trade Tim Anderson's contract and 5 years of great control + a prospect for 2 years of Carlos Correa? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In their last 185 MLB games, Tim has a 4.5 WAR and Correa has a 4.8 WAR. Tim is cost controlled and has stayed healthier. I'll take Tim + the prospect over Correa.

bschmaranz Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 While I'm not opposed to moving Tim, I don't see how that one makes sense. That full offer is laughable btw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiSoxJon Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Don't see HOU moving him this year OR CWS trading for him ever Weird to see a lot of good teams consider selling (CLE, CHC, etc.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reiks12 Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 what an awful proposal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenSox Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 The risk is 2 years of control, with this team nowhere near ready to win with our without him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
