If you were Chaim Bloom/FSG would you take on any of these onerous contracts if you'd get 2 of the team's top 3 prospects (at least) in return? There would probably be a bit more coming back for some of these players than that. Also, while all these contracts aren't comparatively massive, they are likely deals that cause most of these team constraints and, if not regret, significant budgetary pain. At least one of these teams has a dearth of prospects (LAA), and I doubt NYY would throw Volpe in a deal to take on all of Stanton's money, but it's a thought exercise.
Stephen Strasburgh (WASH) - signed until 2026 at $35M AAV
Giancarlo Stanton (NYY) - signed until 2027 at $25M AAV
Mike Trout (LAA) - signed until 2030 at $35.5M AAV
Anthony Rendon (LAA) - singned until 2026 at $35M AAV
Marcus Semien (TEX) - signed until 2028 at $25M AAV
Fernando Tatis (SD) - signed until 2034 at $16.9M AAV
Kris Bryant (COL) - signed until 2028 at $26M AAV
Bryce Harper (PHL) - signed until 2031 at $25.4 AAV

Stephen Strasburgh (WASH) - signed until 2026 at $35M AAV - 0/10, no shotGiancarlo Stanton (NYY) - signed until 2027 at $25M AAV - 5/10Mike Trout (LAA) - signed until 2030 at $35.5M AAV - 12/10 but you would have to give up major prospects for him, not receive prospects in addition Anthony Rendon (LAA) - singned until 2026 at $35M AAV - 0/10Marcus Semien (TEX) - signed until 2028 at $25M AAV - 3/10, this is contingent on him playing left and an occasional passable short which I'm not sure he can doFernando Tatis (SD) - signed until 2034 at $16.9M AAV - 10000/10 but no chance they trade prospects to get rid of himKris Bryant (COL) - signed until 2028 at $26M AAV - 8/10 if for some reason they decided to do thisBryce Harper (PHL) - signed until 2031 at $25.4 AAV - 10/10 but again they'd be asking for prospects |

Strasburg and Rendon are the only ones of those I could actually see being dumped in this type of manner, though I suspect it would be more like the Hosmer situation where the Nats/Angels would pay down at least portion of the contract rather than deal top prospects. For all the others, I would expect the Sox to be the one trading prospects, not receiving them, even if the Sox assumed the full weight of the contract.
Purely looking at the players themselves, I wouldn't want Semien or Bryant at their full AAV and I'd be iffy about Stanton. I'd snap up Trout, Tatis, or Harper, though I'd try really hard to have Yorke and Rafaela be the headliners going the other way rather than Mayer, Bello, or Bleis.

I think you went to high with the AAV....
I think you could take sone guys in the 14-20 range and do that and is more likely

I’ve been thinking about this. Would Yelich be a good trade candidate? He has 6 years at 26M per left and is still a decent player with upside left. If you could cut that in half and pick up a Woodruff for the rotation or Adames for SS would you do it? I don’t know a ton about the Brewers farm but they seem to be stuck in that 85ish win no man’s land and if they dealt Harder anything is possible.

I cant imagine why the Brewers would willingly give up their #2 starter or mvp caliber shortstop AND eat half of Yelich's deal. They'd have to be trading away Burnes as well and tearing it down completely for it to make sense |

To be clear, I don't necessarily think it's the Sox who do that deal. |

I wonder if SD wants to shed a little payroll to make some more offseason moves. Snell/ Pomeranz could be upgrades for us. I wonder if Pivetta with two years of control going to a pitchers park would do it? It would probably give them an extra 20ish million to spend.
