I know... we have many Brian Dozier threads... so... another couldn't hurt. 

 

Post your Three Team Trade Ideas Here

 

Just for Giggles

 

I'll throw one out

 

Dozier to Pirates

McCutchen to Mets

Mets Pitching to Twins

 

Plus whatever from whoever to tidy it up. 

I floated this earlier regarding the Marlins and got informed that Mattingly doesn't like Puig. So, find me a different team that would like Puig as a bounce-back candidate, perhaps an impoverished team, and try this:

 

LA: Pitching (JDL, plus 1 or 2 lesser prospects) to Minn, Puig to Team X

Team X: Strong pitching prospect to Minn

Minn: Dozier to LA, half Puig's salary to Team X

 

I still believe LA is under pressure from MLB to reduce either debt or payroll, and this provides relief without having to actually take Puig ourselves.

I floated another idea earlier too:

 

Dozier to LAD

Current LAD prospect package to TBR

TBR pitching to Minn (Colome?)

Puig's salary is pretty much exactly offset by Dozier's. He's not making much. I think the debt ratio thing was overblown, but if it was a big deal, they probably wouldn't have given raises to Turner and Jansen, and they'd probably need to move McCarthy or Kazmir, not Puig.

 

And Puig was their best hitter vs LHP last year, it would kinda defeat the purpose of adding Dozier to ship him out in the process.

I floated another idea earlier too:

 

Dozier to LAD

Current LAD prospect package to TBR

TBR pitching to Minn (Colome?)

Tampa could just send Forsythe to LA.

 

Tampa could just send Forsythe to LA.

I know there were rumors the Dodgers inquired about forsythe, but were the Rays ever on board with the possibility? Most rumors I have read about the Rays is they were looking to shop pitching. Namely, Colome but I might have missed something.

Would a Colome package even top a De Leon led package by that much?

 

Tampa could just send Forsythe to LA.

 

Rays need offense. 

Dozier to Cards

Cards Pitcher to Twins

 

Wong to Braves

Braves Pitcher to Twins

 

Would a Colome package even top a De Leon led package by that much?

Maybe Colome plus Hu or some other pitching prospect to round it out?

 

Another idea:

Twins send Dozier to LAD, Kepler + Kiriloff to TBR

LAD sends specs to TBR

Rays send Archer to Min

 

(Twins sign Joey Bats)

Edited January 6, 20179 yr by Willihammer

Here's my recycled idea from a couple weeks back:

 

Twins to get: De Leon, Bellinger, Stewart, Ross Stripling, Dalton Pompey and Sean Reid Foley

Dodgers to get: Dozier, Danny Barnes, TJ Zeuch and Vlad Guerrero Jr.

Blue Jays to get: Santana, Eddie Rosario and Yasiel Puig and $$$
