[QUOTE="altenberger22, post: 1555721, member: 747157"] From my lifetime, the upcoming off-season reminds me of the Cubs in the early 70's dismantling the lovable '69 team. It was a major explosion: Jenkins - Texas Santo - White Sox Williams - Oakland Holtzman - Oakland Kessinger - Cardinals Beckert - San Diego Hundley - Minnesota As such, I'm going to be bold and go with the dumpster fire route. However, I think Hoyer is getting a ton of prospects back in return -- and/or some players with excellent major league experience. I think the big 5 --- Contreras, Darvish, Bryant, Schwarber and Rizzo --- are all going to be discussed in trade scenarios and I'd be content if 4 of the 5 were gone (I prefer to keep Rizzo for the club house). The Braves, Dodgers, Nationals and Mets all seem to be good 3rd base trade partners, so I'll start there. Maybe even the Yankees? OPTIONS: --- (BRAVES: Kyle Wright, Touki Toussaint, Austin Riley and even Ender Inciarte; DODGERs; Gavin Lux, Josiah Gray, Kody Hoese, Kiebert Ruiz, Brusdar Graterol; METS: Dom Smith, Andres Giminez, Amed Rosario, JD Davis, Francisco Alvarez, David Peterson; NATIONALS: Carter Kieboom, Victor Robles). Could be really exciting! I really like the Mets and Dodgers as potential partners. [/QUOTE]
