15-Team Dynasty League Trade

by brianthefantasyking on Mar 16, 2026 3:54 PM EDT Comment 7 comments

I've been offered the following trade:

I give: Carlos Gonzalez and Clay Buchholz

I get: Ryan Braun

I may be able to work it out where I give something else and get Max Scherzer. Obviously, Braun is by far the best player in the deal, but I have CarGo locked up for several years at league-minimum salary, wheras Braun is in the top 10 most expensive.

Thoughts? I usually try to trade strengths for weaknesses...not sure this really accomplishes that.

My team is below:

C: Ryan Doumit Chris Iannetta, Jeff Clement
1B: Prince Fielder, Justin Smoak, Daniel Murphy
2B: Brandon Phillips, Ian Stewart, Sean Rodriguez, Alberto Callaspo
3B: Ryan Zimmerman, MAt Gamel
SS: Elvis Andrus, Jose Reyes, Starlin Castro
LF: Carlos Quentin
CF: Carlos Gonzalez, Carlos Beltran, Colby Rasmus
RF: Matt Kemp, Jason Kubel
UT: Mark Reynolds, Brandon Wood

SP: Zack Greinke, Johan Santana, Roy Oswalt, Matt Cain, Clay Buchholz, Mike Pelfrey
John Maine, Ryan Rowland-Smith, Marc Rzepcynski, Jeremy Hellickson, Dan Hudson,
Edinson Volquez

RP: Francisco Rodriguez, Francisco Cordero, Carlos Marmol, Brad Lidge, Mike Adams
Ryan Franklin

A vote for Braun, but it looks like you’d need to move Quentin or Reynolds to free up a slot for Braun as well.

Damn

I was hoping this was a trade involving 15 teams.

The Dodgers won't win a playoff series until the Cool-a-Coo returns.

Get Braun

He’s only turning 26 this year, and you already have Rasmus as a young gun in center.

"That's not a weird stat. Rickie is a run-scorer," Yost said. "It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter," Yost told reporters. "See, you guys have no concept. He's a run-scorer. So there's nothing weird about it. That's what he does."

Jeez, some people overvalue youth

Let’s not forget braun is only about 26. This is a no-brainer

You’re name has 2k9 in it — what are you some 8 year-old who makes Pillsbury Doughboy cookies and jerks off to that bullshit video game with Tim Lincecum on the cover--
