Blockbuster: Arenado,Springer,Martinez for Yu,DeGrom, Murphy REP

[hockeyrobot]

Woah....just got offered this. Am I wrong to decline?? Detail is needed...I came in going almost all offense early in the draft with the idea in mind that I'd deal some for pitching eventually. I just feel like this might be too much to give given how SP have been going down the past couple of seasons.

I am in 1st place and have been playing 2-3 roster players down for the past month due to so many injuries and don't feel the need to drop good players if I'm in 1st.

R, 2B, HR, RBI, BB, SB, Avg
W, SV, K, HLD, ERA, WHIP

C: Schwarber
1B: Bellinger
2B: Castro
3B: Arenado
SS: Correa
LF: Polanco
CF: Hamilton
RF: Springer
Util: Bour (newly DL)
Bn: Pollock (DL)

DL: Haniger

SP: Martinez, McCullers, Paxton, Roark, Berrios, Lynn, Harvey, Hoffman
RP: Davis, Hand, J. Wilson, Ottavino (DL)

DL: Duffy, Gray

No deal HR!!!

Arenado is the best piece in this trade and you currently own him. Martinez is on a tear since coming off the DL and Springer is great except for Ks but luckily you don't count them.

Darvish and deGrom on the other hand are not showcasing their best stuff on a consistent basis this year so there is no need to offer that much firepower if you really want to land one or both of those SPs.

Murphy is a good return but I don't prefer him to any of the guys you are sending his way so even he doesn't help to tip the scales on that side of the deal.

I would offer Martinez for deGrom or Darvish and see if he bites but I would definitely hold onto the rest of your current assets.

EDIT: just realized it wasn't JD but Carlos you are sending his way. It doesn't change my perspective on the overall trade but you can forget the 1v1 I was suggesting for Darvish or deGrom.

Agree on the no deal. Too much to give up, and too much risk with the pitching. Make a smaller deal for one star pitcher instead if you can.

Giving up the best player in the deal usually never ends up well . . . I agree with Bass and EB. Too much to give up for SP's who have bee great, but not constantly great.

I like having more power in my bats, than in my pitching any day. If you're deep at OF, I'd think about offering Springer + another small asset for one of those 2 if you're desperate for pitching.

I agree with the above comments.

Elite pitching is always hard to come buy... but this is an extreme price.

Thanks guys....I agree too. The other owner has Scherzer so I told him if Im sending Arenado then I want Max....he said no ....

Anyways...appreciate!
