Whats his teams greatest weakness in your opinion? I'd try and include something that helps him there.
I have a guy in our keeper league willing to move Trout for a 3for1/2for1 type of deal since his keepers after Trout aren't good.
Our categories are:
R, RBI, HR, SB, Avg, OPS
W, ERA, WHIP, K/9, QS, Sv+H
Starting lineup:
C, 1B, 2B, 3B, SS, CI, MI, 4OF, util
5SP, 2RP, 2P
Keep 7, H2H, 10 team league.
My top players are:
Bellinger, Rendon, Albies, Seager, Moncada, Marte, Bohm
Cole, Bieber, Buehler, Burnes
Annnyyy reasonable deal I can send him? I said I'd move Cole+a batter if he wants that, but I don't think my batter would be exactly what he's wanting.

If I was a Trout owner (which I have never been so lucky to be) I am not sure I would consider a deal including Cole - because of his age.
However, if he has expressed interest in Cole. I would start off by trying to add one of the 3B.
If you feel comfortable with Moncado as your 3B - try offering Rendon.
Cole and Rendon - Trout (You would be getting rid of two older players which would be nice)
But usually the value of the older players in not enough.
So my next attempt would be
Cole and Seager .
Reasons I would include Seager:
- SS is a deep position and Seager is the 10th ranked SS
- So you are not giving up a significant positional advantage (ie the #1 or 2 SS)

I am probably in the minority here, but I would be more willing to give up Buehler than Cole in a deal. I dont know why but I would rather hold Cole.

"Cleavage is like the sun. You can look, but dont stare.. Unless you're wearing sunglasses."
So looks like he was awesome from 2014-2018!
I actually like this too. In a limited keeper SP are always popping up. Try selling high on the idea of what Buehler could be. Because who knows when LAD will let him reach that potential.
I disagree. Rendon is not that old. The guy is only 30. Rendon could finish the year inside top 25 players. I think that hes still a quality player. Seager on the other hand has the potential to be a top 5 players this season. SBs is the only category he doesn't contribute. Seager hit .307/.358/.585 last season and, by some measures, he was actually unlucky. Statcast data suggests Seager should have hit .330 with a .653 slugging percentage, as he was arguably the best hitter in baseball based on quality of contact metrics.
Im with you on this. I think that 2014olympicgold should try Buehler + a batter and see if the other GM bites. But I would be willing to let Cole go if Trout is the ultimate price. Cole + Marte + a non-keeper or Cole + Bohm + a non-keeper is good enough offer I think.

I offered Cole/Buehler+ a batter, guy wanted A LOT more.
He ended up not moving Trout, but an offer he got was:
Alonso, Castillo, Glasnow, 3,6,7th round picks
and
Flaherty, Torres, Scherzer + Picks
Declined all offers.

Somone offered me:
My Bellinger+Buehler+last pick
for his
Alonso, Glasnow, Castillo+3rd overall pick
It's def a no, but especially when I'd then be keeping 4 pitchers after the trade.
Keepers are:
Bellinger, Rendon, Moncada, Albies, Cole, Buehler, Bieber.
