I would. Mountcastle has the most trade value of the veterans. He (IMO) will not be here next April. Mayo could be here for 10 years and likely (IMO) will be obliterating Mountcastle's offensive numbers in 12 months.

Arguably....if I am a GM (I did stay at a-nevermind) Santander is a nice get.

I agree. I am happy to trade him as well...just not as valuable imo as he is just a 2 month rental.

People keep saying that, but Machado was a two month rental and the Orioles got back four? and Kremer wasn't even the headliner. The right team to push them to the top? Santander may be preferred. RM has shown power of late. Point is, it's not cut and dried.

Actually I did 

No you didn't and it's insulting that you are acting as if you did.

I asked "Was it not your preference to not have Mountcastle on the 2024 roster? "

You replied "He was someone I was willing to move in a trade. That doesn’t mean I didn’t want him on the team."

 

I asked what your preference was and you didn't tell me.  Saying "That doesn't mean I didn't want him on the team" isn't saying "I wanted him on the team."

Insulting is you posting on this site.

I answered you.  Go yell at the wall and see if that wants to get into one of your idiotic semantical arguments.

So, did you want him on the 2024 roster?

 

It's amusing seeing you get upset when folks see through your little games.

"...it's a tough one...", "...not something we’re going to be eager to explore.”  It's just GM speak, but I did note that he did not flat-out deny the potential of dealing him.  My trade deadline brain is imagining things again. I'd say the odds of dealing Holliday are 1%. :P

Has Elias ever categorically denied a potential future move for any player?

    • I don’t either …. Kjerstad and Norby are too much. He a risky acquisition….I think you offer Norby or Stowers as your number 1 with a couple of others …maybe a 20-30 guy and a DSL player or two. 
    • Beavers by month: April: .886 May: .821 June: .599 Hopefully he turns it up in July. I feel like a lot of our position prospects find a way to turn it up at the end of the year. Let's see. 
    • You literally said I showed some skepticism over Basallo and that you pointed out his age and got "shouted down." Neither of which is true statement which is why I gave you the down vote (which I rarely do).  I would hope you would accurately depict what I wrote in the future vs using not just a "too harsh" of an adjective in "skepticism," but using the wrong word at all. If you are going to suggest I said something about a prospect, I just ask that your accurate depict what I said. Your original statement made it sound like I suddenly questioned Basallo after his slow start. I give out information on prospects and sometimes it's to point out their struggles. I pointed out how unbalanced Basallo was early i the season and how he did not look like that last year. That was a true statement. I did not follow that up with questioning him as a prospect or being skeptical of his prospect status. Oh, and BTW, I've given you upvotes of late as well. I don't hold grudges and typically give an upvote shortly after giving a down vote, which I only give when I'm misquoted or the post is against our rules significantly.   
    • Ok.  You don’t know what he’s asking for.  Even more so, you don’t know what he’d accept.     Will another team offer more than Kjerstad, Norby, and McDermott?    Can another team top that?    Doubtful.      Disclaimer:   I don’t think Elias would do this but I believe Crochet is gettable without giving up one of the top 3 prospects.
    • Sheesh. Once again, I do not mean any offense Tony, and this was in no way a personal shot at you. "Skepticism" was I guess not the best choice of noun here. My apologies. And I am not suggesting you weren't aware of his age or upside. Of course not. Nor am I trying to take any credit for pointing out his age. I never said that and I'm not sure how you're taking that from what I wrote.  Just a side note: I feel like I've been getting a lot of downvotes from you lately, and I even tried really hard to explain that I was in the wrong with the Basallo post I referenced, and was right to get a slap on the wrist. I'm not sure where I went wrong of late, but I hope I can get out of the doghouse at some point. I feel like my posts are being written one way and read another way that I'm not intending, so maybe I need to evaluate how I'm wording things. 
    • Thanks for the kudos, all! Last year, at A+, Basallo slugged .688 w/ an OPS of 1.131. At the age of 18.  That OPS put him 5th overall (minimum 50 PA). The names ahead of him (in parenthesis are prospect rankings for 2024): Xavier Isaac (#43 prospect overall) - 19 years old Aaron Palensky - 24 years old Jonathan Clase - 21 years old Agustin Ramirez - 21 years old That's it. Behind him were names like: Drew Gilbert (#39), Wyatt Langford (#6 before season started, 21 y/o), Junior Caminero (#2), Colson Montgomery (#9), Matt Shaw (#40), James Wood (#3), Jett Williams (#31)...I can keep going.  https://milbtracker.com/hitter-stats?levels[0]=A%2B&sort=ops&sort_direction=desc&org=&timeframe=2023&min_walk_percentage=0&max_strike_out_percentage=100&paginate=612
