The undisputed king, or hopefully the only one this negligent in our league, of forgetting which messages he has responded to is looking to man up for 2023-24 and needs players. For once I'm headlining my jokes with a reverse block, I need some positions more than others and if you are looking to trade for prospects I'm open for business.
GIMME THAT
In general I am primarily interested in guys in AAA,1st with heavy MLB experience (guy who likely were intentionally held below AB threshold to stop their arb clock), or 2nd-3rd year players. I will likely be more interested in 4th-6th or guys on a contract once I see how my team is panning out, unlikely to jump for a guy locked up for double-digit salary through 2026 or something similar.
1B - I would be interested in a slugging 1B while Pratto / Casas (hopefully) figure things out.
MI - I have way too many MI, but none of them are elite. I would be interested in a higher ceiling MI, especially SS.
3B - Same as 1B, I have guys but would be interested in upgrading.
OF - Literally all positions, but especially CF. RF also of interest, my whole OF is guys with OF as a secondary position.
SP - This is where I would lean more toward 3rd-5th year or a veteran on a contract, really lost out on all my bets here.
RP - I'm listening, but this is likely the last place I invest cash / prospects.
2023 Expiring Contracts - What's that? You thought I was out of that business? I have a ton of cap space, if you want to get out of a 2023 contract in exchange for IFA (likely more viable later in the year) I'm still listening.
VIRTUALLY UNTOUCHABLE
I put the "virtually" in there because I will still pick up the phone if you are looking to move an upgrade for these guys plus a prospect or something. In general, I have tons of control and I need players so moving these guys without getting a replacement back doesn't make sense for me.
C Andrew Knizner (Cardinals : 3rd)
C William Contreras (Braves : 3rd)
1B Nick Pratto (Royals : 2nd)
1B Triston Casas (Red Sox : 1st)
2B/SS Ramon Urias (Orioles : 3rd)
2B/3B Nolan Gorman (Cardinals : 2nd)
2B/SS Thairo Estrada (Giants : 3rd)
2B/3B/LF Brendan Donovan (Cardinals : 2nd)
SS Brendan Rodgers (Rockies : 3rd)
SS Marco Luciano (Giants : 1st) - Would be available for the right MLB player / upgrade.
RF/CF Lars Nootbaar (Cardinals : 2nd) $0.5
SP Justin Dunn (Reds : 4th)
SP Ian Anderson (Braves : 3rd)
SP Dane Dunning (Rangers : 3rd)
SP/RP Brayan Bello (Red Sox : 2nd)
RHP Ryan Pepiot (Dodgers : 1st)
RP Jordan Hicks (Cardinals : 6th)
RP Genesis Cabrera (Cardinals : 3rd)
RP Brusdar Graterol (Dodgers : 3rd)
RP Trevor Stephan (Guardians : 3rd)
GUYS NAMED LUIS GARCIA
Just showing off my collection.
2B Luis Garcia (Nationals : 3rd)
SS Luis Garcia (Phillies : 1st) $0.3
THE TOMMY JOHN CREW
Not really looking to cut bait on these guys, but if you are really interested I'd move them for more immediate help.
SP Daulton Jefferies (Athletics : 2nd)
SP Vladimir Gutierrez (Reds : 3rd)
AUSTIN VOTH
Actually happy to keep him as the *checks notes* third SP for the *checks notes again* 82-win Orioles. What a strange time we live in. Unclear if I would move him for a younger SP with a higher ceiling or as part of a package for an upgrade.
SP/RP Austin Voth (Orioles : 5th)
AAA TAXI SQUAD
If you are way into these guys for prospects or as part of an upgrade deal, I'm listening. Happiest to hold Friedl and Diaz, but if you really like them I'm willing prioritize 2023-24.
LF/CF/RF Adam Haseley (White Sox : 5th)
LF/CF T.J. Friedl (Reds : 2nd)
3B Jake Burger (White Sox : 2nd)
SP Shaun Anderson (Blue Jays : 5th)
OF Yusniel Diaz (Orioles : 1st)
ROMAN QUINN
Never hurts to ask, almost feel more appropriate for me to hang on to him until he hits FA as some kind of self flagellation.
CF Roman Quinn (Rays : 6th)
EXPIRING CONTRACTS
You said it Santa. Mostly listing them in the event you want to dump a 2023 for something less expensive.
LF Domingo Santana (Japan : 2023) $0.3
RP Deolis Guerra (Athletics : 2023) $0.8
RP Aaron Brooks (Cardinals : 2023+) $1.5
