Of course YOU would

I mean he is what the 13th best player in the AL EAST lol

Z, please don’t tell me you think Lindor is better???
obviously I’d take either if/when made available but...

 

[TBrown]

Waters, Muller, Contreras for one season of mookie? Pass.

OF is a greater need than SS but Lindor is a more valuable asset.

I don’t think you trade for unless you think there’s a good chance he signs a long term deal.

Then we aren’t in the running for him.

 

[AV_12]

I get this but Mookie is the better player and fills our needs... That’s what I was saying

Mookie isn’t the end all be all of this roster and at $30M he would be the only acquisition. He is a fit for team need but not in any other way. We don’t win a WS and give up 18 years of control on 3 valuable assets.

I don’t think we acquire either one but Lindor is cheaper and has more control.

 

[AV_12]

One more year?

 

[TBrown]

One more year?

Thought he had 3 left for some reason but could be wrong

 

[TBrown]

Lindor has 2 years and Mookie 1

 

[AV_12]

I just think at some point they are going to have to do this via trade and take a risk of giving up a prospect that has value and hope it works out in our favor?

 

[AV_12]

Maybe Mookie isn’t that move but we are going to have to take a risk

 

[TBrown]

Agree 100% on move but it’s not Mookie. I also think Lindor is more singable and would be excellent with Ronald and Ozzie.

 

[TBrown]

Mookie is going to FA. He’s made that abundantly clear

 

[AV_12]

Yeah get paid. He should after the Trout/Harper/Rendon deals

What Brown said. Better asset, younger, probably easier to sign long term. If we are going to give up top prospects then give me the guy with two years and is cheaper.

Plus Mookie, while an elite OF and one of the best two way players in baseball, isn’t going to be putting up a 1.000 OPS every year. He’s great, but that 2018 season was an aberration. Still love to have him for the right price.

 

[zjcvols]

Also easier to find good OF’s through trades/FA than shortstops.

 

[zjcvols]

The problem is that teams are gonna want Pache, and I don’t think I’d give up Pache for anyone outside of Trout or Yelich lol

 

[AV_12]

But we have Dansby

 

[AV_12]

Lol

I thought you were a OPS+ guy???? Guess not. Mookie’s career 134 is f witable

 

[Florida Stanley]

But we have Dansby

Remember who was on board with trading him a few months ago. And was SCORNED.

 

[TBrown]

I would obviously trade him for Lindor but SS is not a hole on this roster. Plenty of those exist.

 

[TBrown]

LF, CF, 3b, C - that’s half the lineup btw

SP1/2, SP 4/5, high leverage reliever, LH reliever

 

[zjcvols]

Yeah propped up by that he’ll never reach that 186 OPS+ in 2018 lol. He’s excellent tho
