Around SBN: MLB Trade Rumors at the Daily Dish


Trade with future ramifications

I made this deal about a week ago... just want to see what the community thinks of it. Also, I'd like to see what they think of the individual players in the deal. I'm in a 20 Team Dynasty Keeper League, I made the following deal.

I received: Elvis Andrus, SS, TEX + Carlos Gonzalez, OF, COL

I dealt: Ben Zobrist, UT, TB + Nick Hagadone, LHP, BOS

Currently, with the deal my roster looks like this...

ACTIVE ROSTER - HITTERS

Matt Wieters, Kendry Morales, Rickie Weeks, Evan Longoria, JJ Hardy, Adam Dunn, Jacoby Ellsbury, Justin Upton, Jorge Posada, Delmon Young, Carlos Gomez, Felix Pie, Martin Prado, and Julio Lugo

ACTIVE ROSTER - PITCHERS

Dan Haren, Josh Johnson, Chad Billingsley, John Danks, Ervin Santana, Daisuke Matsuzaka, Jeremy Bonderman, Tim Stauffer, Micah Owings, Huston Street, Andrew Bailey, Angel Guzman, Dan Meyer

MINOR LEAGUE ROSTER - HITTERS

Elvis Andrus, Carlos Gonzalez, Blake DeWitt, Eric Young Jr., James Darnell, Reese Havens, Hak-Ju Lee, Hector Gomez, Anthony Gose, Engel Beltre, Brian Bogusevic, Norichika Aoki, Yulieski Gourriel

MINOR LEAGUE ROSTER - PITCHERS

Kyle Drabek, Casey Kelly, Matthew Moore, Andrew Cashner, Brad Holt, Casey Crosby, Yu Darvish

Currently, I sit two games back in my division of the leader. Another team is only a game back of me. We have 4 Division's of 5 teams. Each Division winner makes the playoffs and 2 Wild Cards. I have ALOT of help on the way in the next year or so, along with my young active roster only getting better. The reason I made the Zobrist deal was to sell high and acquire two future pieces. I had acquired Zobrist earlier in the year before he took off for Neftali Soto.

Not the best trade

but if you aren’t in the best place, good trade to get some talent
