and then this thread led me to put together a crazy offer and what do you know:
for the record I had to give up this:
Mad Bum is 79/79 and signed through 2026 - but I was willing to give him up because in my experience he usually declines to be not worth is contract
Dyson 78/78 - closer, but in last year of contract and I wasnt going to give him the big bucks he wanted
Soto 21/70 - my top OF prospect
Arroyo a 24/70 upcoming 3B wiht a contact of 8 - the one I least wanted to part with. But I had a couple other guys who could give me most of what he could
Williamson a 28/34 above avg but the easiest to replace corner OF who was the key in the "make this work" part
bottom line I probably gave up more then i wanted to - but it was too much fun to rebuild the Giants around a Posey-Trout-Judge core.
