Seeing 2 MVPs, 23 AS seasons, 9 Silver Sluggers, and 8 Gold Gloves move over the past couple days has made it pretty clear there isn't much upside in walking a razors edge trying for a WC this year. Below are the guys for trade. Looking for SP prospects, near to MLB bats, and farther out lottery ticket types.
Will flesh out highlights later.
SP Cosart, Jarred - 99 ERA+
1B Cron, C.J. - 104 OPS+
3B Duffy, Matt - 104 OPS+, VG at 3B

3B Freese, David - 102 OPS+, 1/3 eligible

SP McHugh, Collin - 107 ERA+
OF Ortega, Rafael - VG all OF positions, recent call-up by Halos
DH Ortiz, David - 135 OPS+, no junk offers. As Sox fan don't mind keeping.

UT Pirela, Jose - Plays pretty much every position. Also recent call-up.
1B Rodriguez, Alex - 115 OPS+, 1/3 eligible

If you thought you had a punchers chance against the top couple teams in either league Friday, you don't anymore. Come get the guys you need to get better.

With apologies to the small crowd asking about Duffy, I need to close up shop until some of the minor league injuries resolve, we catch up, and I can see where to focus on my remade roster. Thanks.
