I want to trade shibata in minor leagues, solid vet SP on a one year deal, make an offer

He is middling to fair.  What do you want?

Young hitter, ml ready or prospect, not greatness but legit ML-er

Sent

rejected, not a terrible offer, but im not looking to pay his full salary, might pay a small portion of it, but not that much for a guy who likely would never find a starting role. i'd rather pitch Shibata this season than pay for him to pitch elsewhere. feel free to sweeten your offer, but your hitting prospects are either great or non-existent, not much in between.

no one in minor leagues wants Cookie Halter? his splits are both 85+

I'm a seller at this point, sadly.  I'm only trading for future goodness.

I wonder if Fregoe is still alive.

I have jury duty tomorrow.

Good luck

Not like tm to turn down a cookie.

I'm turning down a guy that halts cookies.  Big difference.

is it better to have a cookie now, or two cookies later

Uskerman, we'll probably work something out once/if I confirm nobody else has serious interest in Franco.  You drive too hard a bargain for it to make sense for me to make a quick deal with you.

It is almost always fair but never on the overpaying side of fair.

It serves me well...  I think we have something unless someone wants to overpay.

Maybe.  I'm out of practice with trade eval.  I want to make sure I get no less than I would get in comp picks, especially if I have to shell out 5 mil of Franco's salary.

Yeah, not a lot in between on my prospects for some reason.  Blame the guy prior...  although that badass Rodgers was all me.

I would prefer to not pay much of his salary but hit me back with what you think is fair.

I got a quick SM from him but he has been an infrequent user from what I can tell.

All the guys I have offered you, based on draft position are at or above what you would probably get in compensation (I think that is true...)

I'd be happy to be an impartial evaluator
