Which players/prospects would you be okay with trading?

[Greg Pappas]

We have enough threads looking at who we'd like trade for, but in this thread, we can discuss which of our players and/or prospects you'd be good with dealing.

Changed the title to have a better discussion.

If you are only willing to give up what you don't really want, you aren't going to get anything you want in return.

[Moose Milligan]

Baumann.

I mean, this thread is going to be a list of players most of us don't like and want to see gone, so while I'm here I'll agree on Mateo, Mountcastle and Stowers.  I'll agree on Prieto because we've already got a lot of middle infielders.   Expect Frazier to be mentioned a lot.

That's right.

Unless the reason you don't want a player is because you have more players than you have spots available.

I don't know about that.  I say Norby, Stowers and Prieto for starters.  It's not because I don't want them.  I like them all, but they all also seem to have multiple players and prospects blocking them so they have value to other teams and to us in a trade.  

[Tony-OH]

From the big club, I'm ok with moving Mateo, Urias, Mountcastle, and McKenna even though with the injuries in CF McKenna has become more valuable. I actually may take a look at Mateo out there if they want to keep him on the team.

For Prospects, the guys that have good value that I'm ok to move in the right deal are: 

Willems
Norby
Stowers
Fabian
Wagner
Prieto
Hall
Beavers
Anyone from 17 and below on the Prospect Power Rankings

Guys I'd move but only for an absolute impact player with some retainability (not a half year rental)
Westburg
Cowser
Kjerstad
Ortiz
Povich

Untouchable for me:
Holliday
Mayo
Basallo

Well, that's fair.  And I know I'm going to get flak for it because Norby Nation exists on the OH but I really am not interested in him as a prospect, squarely because of Henderson, Holliday, Westburg, and Ortiz.  In other words, he's blocked and probably has more value in a trade.

So you're correct but I'm also being a bit callous when I say that a guy like Norby is someone I don't want.  Not necessarily his fault, it's just that there's a lot of competition and he's on the outside looking in.

Great breakdown... perhaps I'll rephrase the topic title after comments to that point.

This is almost exactly where I stand with leaning towards putting Kjerstad in untouchable as well.  But I'm very high on Kjerstad and think he's going to be a 35+ HR hitter for us.

Good point guys... re-titled the topic.  Thanks.

Only Kjerstad's below average running and defense keeps him off the list for me for now. But he's still not a guy I'm giving up for a rental or a reliever.

Good list, but Holliday is absolutely in the untouchable group.

How far below average is he, and for what position?

[Orioles0615]

I mean anyone if its the right player. I would be hard pressed to not say no if the Braves for some reason said we could have Acuna for Holliday
