Who should I trade for?!?!?!?!!

Aceshigh24 · 03-27-2021, 04:40 PM

So currently running a GM only with the Rockies and I'm not sold on Charlie Blackmon. Only been 2 games and figured I would see what I can get for him.

I have shopped him with trading difficulty set to Hard and retaining 40% of his contract. Offers I've received is Bauer/Stanton/Altuve/JD Martinez.

Would you do it for any of those guys?

Considering the state of the Rockies I would just select the prospects box in trade finder and try to find the best package

Only one of the 4 you listed that would be worth it is Altuve. Stanton and Martinez are DH's. Bauer isn't the type of pitcher that I would bring into Coors.

I think you are better off looking at prospects. I don't think the Rockies are going to be contending this year or next.

Yah, these options are just clubs trying to unload even more $$$ and term on you than they'll be taking back in Blackmon.
As others have said, you should be in rebuild mode so I'd look at each contract being offered, and Blackmon's, and choose the one that combines the shortest term with the fewest dollars.
And if that's Blackmon, as I suspect it is, I emphatically say HOLD.
As well, as pointed out by another poster, all of them are DH's except Altuve. And I think Altuve is on the wrong side of the slippery slope both IRL and, I suspect, in OOTP.

get you a few hybrid pitchers (short starts, long relief) a base stealing prospect and something else...
