Marcell Ozuna Watch - (Update: Traded to Cards Pg. 13)

[Cronos]

I'd be a little sad if it was Sierra going in the trade, but in general I'm super on board with this.

Like others have said, there's a ton of great talk going on right now for potential stuff: I'm just hoping some of it comes through.

Also, hope everyone's been well!!

Hey, Cronos, what's up? Good to hear from you.

So I’m guessing Bader.

I don't think so. The other report indicated it was Alcantara and minor leaguers. Bader is a major leaguer and probably about equivalent to Alcantara in value. Maybe a little less but not so much less as to say he's "lesser ilk".

I think it's all down roster. Plummer, as someone mentioned, is a good guess. I'm throwing out Mags Sierra as well. He was my original guess, along with Grichuk.

Yeah that’s fair. Plummer or Dylan Carlson are good guesses.

At some point, you start eliminating names.

Theoretically, it'd be one of:

O'Neill
Piscotty
Grichuk
Sierra
Bader
Arozarena
Mercado
Plummer
Machado
Denton

And if those top 3 are off the list...

Unless it's not an outfielder.

I feel good about trading both Piscotty and Grichuk and going into '18 with Bader and O'Neill as our backup OF'ers. I think Bader demonstrated his usefulness as a backup CF'er. O'Neil can also play CF and has had a full season at AAA. He's ready for the majors.

What a serious OF that is. If Pham is what he was last year, and Ozuna does what he did in '17, that's the best OF in the NL (maybe?) and the best we've had in ........ I can't remember. Ever, maybe? I'm high on trade adrenaline.

[Fat Strat]

Oh, Mercado. Would not shock me at all if Mercado is involved. That makes a ton of sense.

Martinez wiil be the fourth OF if Grichuk and Piscotty are gone.

I think of Martinez as more of a UT. Regardless, he can fit on a roster with both Bader and O'Neil.

Garcia
Kelly
Bader
O'Neil
Martinez

Am I missing anyone?

Edit: If Longoria is acquired and Gyroko moves to UT, then either Martinez goes in a deal or O'Neil and Bader fight for playing time and ride the Memphis caravan.
