Kirby-Westburg Trade
Trading a cornerstone starting pitcher for an injured infielder creates unnecessary risk that diminishes the return for Seattle's biggest offseason asset.
Neto Trade Idea
Sending young pitching depth to a division rival for an unproven middle infielder lacks a clear long-term justification despite recent roster interest.
Josh Young Trade

Kirby-Marlins Trade
Trading a premium starting pitcher for a package centered on Otto Lopez and Michael Peterson undervalues the immediate impact required from a franchise cornerstone.
Cardinals Trade
Betting on the resurgence of a catcher-turned-DH in a deal involving an elite pitcher requires significant optimism about his offensive consistency.
Prospect Swap
Swapping top prospects between organizations is a fun concept but ignores the immediate need for established pitching depth as current contracts expire.
