    Duran took a step back last season.

    that’s a lot of k’s for 16 home runs and 60 walks.

    He had a lot of k’s the year before but had 21 home runs and 48 doubles. His WAR was above 7.

    Obviously, that would be the version we would all hope for.

    I hope a good pitcher would be involved. Hate to lose Paredes.

    A full season of Paredes at Daikin would be amazing. I'd trade Walker or Pena before Paredes.

    I'd do Early/Abreu

    Just to be a contrarian.

    Early/Duran for playoffs

    Tolle/Abreu for better draft pick

    Why are you more worried about this than they are? They already know there is a real chance they will go past the tax. They want to reset it, but the CBA is coming up as well.

    Would have to get the Rangers involved in a three way deal for Ezequiel but it could happen.

    You killed my trade boner when you said "three way" and "Rangers"

    Yes. I really like the other Duran. Her name is Rio, and she dances on the sand.

    We are going to end up with Bello as the headliner

    The Vazquez trade was such an overpay.

    C’mon man, it’s Dana Brown. We’ll probably end up signing some scrap-heap outfielder and somehow we fans will still get hyped about it.

    If past history is any indication, they'd be amenable to grabbing your junk and getting it back up....
