Would you make this trade?!

I have Chris Sale on my Padres team. I shopped him just to see what interest he would receive. I have been offered a trade, Bumgarner straight up for Sale.

Would you do it?

isn't that kind of an equivalent for an equivalent? roughly same age and talent. if you simply like bumgarner more than sale... then most of this isn't going to matter. i place no value on names... that may be different.

i'm not interested in an ace for ace type deal. it doesn't do much for the team - it's a mostly net neutral move, so i don't view that as useful. money problems? different situation. otherwise, a trade has to do noticeable good for me to go with it.... i don't want to play musical chairs without gain.

in this context, i don't think money is the concern. so, i'd explore other options, maybe my #3 and a couple prospects? now you got 2 aces at the top, instead of just swapping 2.

my trades are typically about the future. i'd say within ~6-7 years i have nearly a complete roster turnover. RP age better so they are most of the exceptions along with HoF-quality players i've decided to hang onto regardless of losing some ability over the next few years, but still never when they are clinging without talent. trading is a huge part of that... whenever their return from the trade is greater than a suppplemental pick.

OP, its hard to say just going by the names.
is either particularly good/bad in your save?
or has one had injuryproblems?

aside from that, why do you even consider this trade? what do you think u gain? i would imagine that if you are shopping an ace like SP, then you are looking to fill either a glaring hole on the roster or you want to rebuild

100% do that trade. Not even close. Bum > Sale on nearly every level.
