Trade for both Devers and Sale. Have the Red Sox eat a portion of Sale’s Salary, plus you shouldn’t need to send a top-tier trade package that way. Devers slots in at 3rd for a year and you hope Sale Rebounds while still having money for either Swanson/Rodon

Sale is broken and I doubt he ever comes back any where near his top form.

The ONLY way you trade for either is if NY is giving you one of their top 3 prospects for nothing in return other than cost savings. 

Well yeah. Who would want Donaldson or Hicks as an actual solution for trying to win? It's all about buying prospects from contenders by giving them luxury tax relief.

You're right that Donaldson would be mad. I think he gets motivated when he's mad. DH him and tell him to hit his way onto a good team.

Why would we help out Detroit by taking a terrible contract off their hands to hopefully help for 1 maybe 2 years?  I would not give up any prospect of value to take on Baez.  Hell, I would demand we get a prospect to take that contract off their hands.

James McCann Mets 2 $24M

Carlos Carrasco Mets 1 $14M

Add Darin Ruf to the list of players the Mets want to put on a different roster. He's only making $3M but that costs the Mets $4.8M after penalties.

I would trade Kyle Garlick for Ruf and two of their A-ball pitching prospects. McCann's $24M salary is going to cost the Mets $38.5M. 

McCann, Carrasco and Ruf will cost the Mets $65M if they can't get rid of them. They would cost the Twins $41M but Carrasco might be tradeable at the deadline.

McCann, Carrasco and Ruf plus 6 prospects in their top 20 for Contreras, Garlick and Pagan?

Search high and low for our "Lance Lynn" of 2023. Sorry Lance, just using you as a reference point.
