How I would build a trade package

I figured I would give this its own thread.  This is operating under the JR assumptions, aka won't spend for top end players, and instead trying to trade for cheaper ones.  Here is my thinking on how they should try to build a deal.

So take the Sox top 10 prospect list from BA.  These are the guys I would be OK with dealing in the right deal and why.

1. Vaughn  Andrew is available in the right deal for me as the offense is soooo deep, and we have set players at pretty much every position, and a top 5 line up.

2. Kopech

3. Madrigal Not a guy that I would want to move, as I think he adds a much needed balance to the line up, but at the same time, we have depth there, and it is easier to find guys at this position

4. Dunning

5. Crochet

6. Kelley

7. Thompson Would be willing to move one of Thompson and Dalquist in the right deal, but not excited about it.  I want to preserve the next wave of pitching as much as possible, but would listen on moving one of them.  One still leaves you at least the other and Kelley, along with the latin signings a bit behind them.

8. Stiever  Stiever is stuck behind Kopech, Cease, and Dunning at least, and probably Lopez too.  You move him because his timeline doesn't match up as well as others.

9. Dalquist

10. Luis Gonzalez

 

If they could put something like Vaughn, Stiever, Dalquist to get a top end deal done, that is the direction it should take.  Of course it shouldn't come to that, as we should just sign the guys we need, but that isn't going to happen so...

So You essentially want to trade like half of the top8 sox prospects?

 

Not want to.  Those are the ones I think would be the ones I would allow to be in deals.  That doesn't mean they all go, just that those are the players I would make available.  There are also plenty of players in the 11-30 range who would be available in my world, like a Micker Adolfo who is almost to the out of options stage.
