    To me, this deal makes sense:

    Betts, Eovaldi & Workman

    for

    Pollock, Gonsolin, Stripling & Cartaya

    In reality, we may get this, at best:

    Betts for Gonsolin, Stripling & Cartaya

    (The trade simulator accepted both deals.)

    Not saying I like this deal, but the site accepted this one, too:

    Betts, Barnes, Workman & Duran

    for

    May, Gonsolin & Cartaya

    I don’t think Los Doyers want Eovaldi.

    We aren’t going to get Seager or Pollock (Sorry Thunder) for 1 year of Betts.

    Pollock has negative value.

    Add Joc to this and I think I could live with May and Joc as immediate impact players .Yeah I don’t hate this with Joc.I don’t think we need to add Barnes to this deal or Workman what about Duran and Marco ?

    Of course, they don't, but taking Eovaldi lessens what they have to give back, and Betts gives them like 6 OF'ers, so the contract swap of Eovaldi for Pollock makes sense to both teams.

    Joc is a glorified platoon player with one year of team control.

    If we ask for more, why a 1 year and done guy? This trade gives up on 2020, so Joc is useless.

    They are so hungry and really need Some good news out there .I am not saying this to take advantage no but maximize on a once in a generation RF like Mookie .I try and shoot the moon but we need power arms like May no doubt .Players like Joc should not be shunned he’s a real talent and I’m a huge fan .I need Two impact MLB players for 2020 and two up and comers preferably arms .we will see very shortly .I am ready to move on and am excited for what the future players will bring .Like always you and Moon have framed a realistic trades.

    Lux is out. If Lux was on the table, Lindor would be a Dodger...

    Pederson would likely be included solely to offset some cash. Like how the Mariners took back Bruce and Swarzak last year...

    Yes, but why would we ask/demand he be part of the deal, especially if we have POllock as part of the deal.

    Adding Joc makes us nit get under the lux tax.

    Oh I think LA will insist on his inclusion.

    The only advantage to getting him is he can handle CF somewhat if the Sox deal Bradley to get under.

    The only way I take back Pollock is if I get to unload Price...

    I do not think hang’em Chaim is really interested in moving Betts.

    My guess is he listens when people call, but would be content with (at best) a July deal or (at worst) a draft pick, if our pitching is living up to their paychecks!
