I think the vote speaks for itself

But unless there is a compelling reason to clear roster space (Other trades, keeper limits, ect.) than I think this a pretty horrible deal. Pineda might have decent numbers this year, but you are talking about dumping 2 top 10 prospects and lottery ticket in Matusz.

If someone offered me

Machado straight up for Pineda, I’d take Machado… or at least I’d consider it for a while.

what about this trade

in another league team had simular roster i traded waino, jarred cosart, and mikie mahtook for matusz machado miller nestor molina and dan vogelbach. did i win that one too?

by mattyice1515 on Mar 18, 2026 11:06 PM EDT reply actions  

Not much difference

Cosart, Mahtook, Molina, Vogelbach are just fillers anyways.

if i posted a poll u think it would be around 85/15?

by mattyice1515 on Mar 18, 2026 11:18 PM EDT up reply actions  

I think the only ones that would vote for the Pineda side

are people valuing competing in 2012. Which is important. But there is probably 25% chance Matusz performs as well or better than Pineda this year. And for the future its a no-brainer.

by pedrophile on Mar 18, 2026 11:56 PM EDT up reply actions  

also, matusz has looked really good this spring and pineda has lookied o.k at best

if i posted a poll u think about 85/15?

by mattyice1515 on Mar 18, 2026 11:17 PM EDT reply actions  

There's a point of asking for real advice about a trade

and then there’s just publicly stroking yourself for winning a trade.
