Dombrowski's earned my trust far too much after the Price signing and Smith/Elias trade to derail it by trading for Shelby Miller. Don't do it to us, Dave...

I don't like the idea of betting on a breakout when you're dealing at least one prelim prospect.
I would give up something like Owens + Kopech but that's about it

I wonder if Miller could be part of a bigger deal involving Freeman?

They may be more interested in Owens due to more years of control. The next piece is more difficult, JBJ--- would need to replace him & I'm not sure they'd spend on the big FA OF's.

ATL reportedly wants ML ready bats. JBJ would probably be a target.
That would put us in the Heyward, Cespedes, Gordon, or Upton races. I love Heyward but idk about a $20M contract addition without getting rid of a 10M AAV.

I mentioned this elsewhere, but you kind of need to hold onto Moncada/Devers/Espinoza/Benintendi after you sign David Price. The cheap years of those guys is what lets you splurge on someone like Price. But that flexibility disappears quickly as we saw in 2012.
Adding anyone else (significant) will feel like the Crawford signing at this point. You swing for the fence, you don't swing trying to hit a 700 foot home run.

THE BELOW PICTURE IS A TRADE PROPOSAL THROWN OUT THERE BY JON HEYMAN. IT IS NOT AN ACTUAL TRADE THAT HAPPENED(You're killing me just posting this by itself, Salami - CH) ![](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CVt8e9kUwAAGOLm.jpg) You forgot my left nut. I'm pretty sure that would go to Miami in that trade, too.

I would be okay with trading for Shelby Miller if it meant we traded JBJ and Buch for him, then proceeded to use the $ saved by shedding Clay and Miley (approx. $18-19M) to sign Jason Heyward. We lose the #12 pick, but going forward we stay young and our team improves. Plus, we keep our top prospects. I just feel that Heyward is as good a bet as any to earn his contract.

anyone know if there's a Hot Stove Show on WEEI tonight? Generally on Tuesdays, but usually Bradford & CO tweet the crap out of it before hand. Haven't seen anything yet

Guess this explains the Cubs' interest in Zobrist.

Wonder what they are looking at from the Yankees in a potential Starlin trade.

(Hell I'd throw in my right nut to keep balance).

I would do Erod, Devers, Swihart, Johnson for Jose F. The Marlins probably wouldn't which is ok, that's why you deal from a position of power.
