Terrible idea and thread

You mean that the Mets don't want to give up their top two rotation guys for a 3B who is having a down year?

How about the Cubs trade Chris Gimenez to the Angels for Tyler Skaggs?

In retrospect, the Angels would have won that trade.

Let's hope he fattens up in PITTS to get his trade value up.

Bryant and Almora to the Padres for Paddock and Gore. They don't need great pitching in that park but they will need bats.

So, you think those two are bats? Almora can’t hit the ground with his hat and Bryant only hits bums.

Bryant will be fine bat out there under Merlot Joe. Almora can patrol the spacious outfield.

They’ll be lucky to get half of what they gave up for .500 pitcher Quintana.

The Padres wouldn’t trade either of those guys straight up for Bryant. Get a clue.

Both of those guys are more valuable than Bryant right now.

They would trade either of them straight up in a heartbeat. Everyday production vs once every 5 days production?

A starting pitcher who makes 30 starts will face about 750 batters. A full time position player will have about 700 plate appearances. It’s all the same.

The Padres aren’t trading Gore or Paddock for Bryant straight up. Nobody is trading anything for Almora.

It won't happen but why not see what you can get for him? He's already making 10M+ this season, Boras will want 300M+, you have other 3B options and let's say you could get Syndergaard and deGromm plus prospects for him??

Why not put his name out there??


I'd still be surprised if they move him. They will have a lot of payroll flexibility this off-season to allow them to make moves and not get so creative that Bryant is moved.

If they did move Bryant, is it too compete now or load up with 3-4 nice prospects? I would imagine it would be difficult to find a team willing to trade young players for him given his agent, etc.

I don't think moving him will be as easy it should given his talent.

I think he's got 3-4 years before free agency so there's enough time to convince a mid-tier team to move on him, but it's just hard to think most teams not spending $200M+ are going to meet the demands on young players the Cubs would want.

The Braves are loaded, they might be interested in a KB trade for 3 top prospects. He could put em over the hump and get a WS for them too.

This is a possible fit.

Yep, they have Donaldson only on a one year deal, and have been stockpiling pitching. But trades with the Braves for pitching scare me, thanks to asshats like Micah Bowie.
