Off-season Block

[Nationals]

While the regular season is still underway, the Guardians are trending toward oblivion. Therefore, let's get started on off-season moves.

I'll be looking to pick up some draft picks before February, primarily in the first couple rounds. I also will need a middle infielder and 1-2 middle/back relievers.

Available:

Nick Pivetta: wrapping up a 3.5+ fwar season

Jurickson Profar: 2025 stats mirror 2024 stats, with a solid 127 RC+ In a full season, he likely matches his HR/RBI numbers

Young SP: I have a chunk of guys in the Harrison, Wicks, Santos, Rock mold

Dylan Crews: I'm very high on Crews, but I recognize he needs a little more work with the bat. Ideally, DeLauter starts in LF next year, so Crews could be had. But he'll require a good amount.

[Giants]

Nobody’s high on Crews anymore, be for real

Dylan Crews is not good

Thank you for your vast contributions to this thread. Xander Bogaerts is still 3x better than Michael Harris this year. Not sure your assessments are relevant...

You mean the guy I traded for Pete Crow Arm?

[Nationals]

I'm adding Corey Seager to my offseason block. He's my longest-tenured player -- I drafted him in 2012 and have never traded him (Other than the great April Fools Day Trade of 2024). However, in the spirit of my 2025 plan to get younger, I'm seeing what's out there.

ZiPS are, unexpectedly, top-notch: .260/.349/.458 136 OPS+ +3 D 4.6 fWAR 21 HR in 430 AB. Tulo, Josh Donaldson, George Brett comps. I have no real startable option behind him, so I would be looking for a young MLB/mature prospect with a projection SS to replace him since Rainer and Morales are still a ways off.

Open to ideas and the offseason is long. Lemme know.

[Nationals]

Let's get these IBC Winter Meetings going, boys...

[Nationals]

Slow trading season outside of Nils. Anyone else actually around and paying attention?

Current block (Z=ZiPS S=2025 Stats):

Feel free to ask about others; if they're not on here it doesn't mean they're off limits. Only untouchables on the MLB roster are Crochet and Anthony. Full roster here: viewtopic.php?p=105616#p105616

[Nationals]

Updated with Bogey's 3-win projection

[Nationals]

Adding a lockdown lefty RP to the block:

Tyler Holton 3.59 ERA 119 ERA+ 77.2 IP 63 K 19 BB 1.2 fWAR
Tim Herrin 3.54 ERA 120 ERA+ 56 IP 59 K 26 BB 0.6 fWAR

With Morejon, Holton, and Herrin, I have the option of moving one.

[Nationals]

Pivetta is off the board. I still have some solid young depth guys available if you're looking for an arm. Couple solid RP and two monster bats along with some serviceable ones. At this point, I'm hunting young players, prospects, picks.

[Nationals]

Really tough to move Seager tonight, but I got a lot of players back who I like and who fit the profile of what I'm trying to do.

Still have a stud in Jose Ramirez, vets Anthony Santander, Sal Perez, Jurickson Profar, and a few solid RP I can deal. I don't necessarily need replacements, so the options are wide open.

[Nationals]

What a whirlwind of a couple days. The roster is completely churning.

I have some role players I can easily move:

Trevor Larnach .249/.325/.404 15 HR 58 RBI 0 D 100 OPS+ (504 PA) L
Rhys Hoskins .221/.316/.408 17 HR 46 RBI 0.6 fWAR (434 PA) R

Some quasi-useful and/or young guys:

Will Wagner .249/.330/.355 5 HR 36 RBI +3 D 1.5 fWAR 91 OPS+ (383 PA) L
Max Scherzer 4.23 ERA 100 ERA+ 95.2 IP 93 K 26 BB 1.0 fWAR
Johan Oviedo 4.28 ERA 97 ERA+ 96.2 IP 93 K 41 BB 1.1 fWAR
Kyle Harrison 4.34 ERA 96 ERA+ 110 IP 107 K 43 BB 1.2 fWAR
Joe Rock 4.30 ERA 4.28 FIP 95 ERA+ 106.2 IP 85 K 35 BB 1.1 fWAR
Tim Herrin 3.54 ERA 120 ERA+ 56 IP 59 K 26 BB 0.6 fWAR

Vets who still have plenty to give, per ZiPS:

Jurickson Profar .252/.346/.406 14 HR 56 RBI -7 D 112 OPS+ (501 PA) B
Anthony Santander .228/.309/.455 27 HR 78 RBI 0 D 107 OPS+ (508 PA) B

International darilng:

Drew Anderson 4.19 ERA 131 IP 147 K 48 BB 1.9 fWAR

I do end up in a roster situation if I move Profar and Santander, so I would like young OF back if I discuss them, but I'm wide open on the other names. Let's keep the good times going.

[Nationals]

Good news! Profar was traded.
Bad news! Santander blew out his shoulder. So, he's off the block. Could now use a fill-in corner OF if anyone has one for cheap. Later pick for someone?

Still also have available:
Drew Anderson 4.19 ERA 131 IP 147 K 48 BB 1.9 fWAR
Trevor Larnach .249/.325/.404 15 HR 58 RBI 0 D 100 OPS+ (504 PA) L
Will Wagner .249/.330/.355 5 HR 36 RBI +3 D 1.5 fWAR 91 OPS+ (383 PA) L
Max Scherzer 4.23 ERA 100 ERA+ 95.2 IP 93 K 26 BB 1.0 fWAR
Johan Oviedo 4.28 ERA 97 ERA+ 96.2 IP 93 K 41 BB 1.1 fWAR
Kyle Harrison 4.34 ERA 96 ERA+ 110 IP 107 K 43 BB 1.2 fWAR
Joe Rock 4.30 ERA 4.28 FIP 95 ERA+ 106.2 IP 85 K 35 BB 1.1 fWAR

[Nationals]

Reminder that I also still have top 10 hitter Jose Ramirez available. He's a stud, but I've decidedly gone in a younger direction. If someone's looking for a 5 win 3B just about guaranteed for a 30/30 season, let me know.

ZiPS: .271/.345/.475 26 HR 88 RBI +4 D 4.4 fWAR 125 OPS+ (637 PA)

[Nationals]

Adding Kyle Manzardo to the block. I had some preliminary conversations around him, but nothing finalized. 25-year-old slugging 1B who crushed 27 bombs last year. With some swing tweaks, I think he's got another level. With Eldridge and Casas, I can afford to entertain moving him. Looking primarily for an equivalent outfielder, but open to other ideas.

ZiPS:
.243/.324/.445 22 HR 69 RBI 0 D 1.5 fWAR 111 OPS+ (513 PA)

[Nationals]

I'll also mention I'd like to pick up a couple picks in the next 30 spots or so, if anyone has extras.
