What day’s & time’s are the mlb trade rumors “chats”
Mark has a chat every Sunday starting around 7/8 for an hour or two
Steve is on Tuesday’s when he has time ( I would say late afternoon)
8:38 Luzardo, Puk, Chapman and Olsen for Acuna and Siroka. Who says no?
Mark P
8:39 Atlanta. Acuna is valuable enough, but Acuna on that long-term contract makes him alone more valuable than that whole quartet.
================================================
On _a pure value level_? *maaaaaaaaybe*
As an actual trade, hell no.
Ignores that the A’s are in a contention window with the Astros entire outfield hitting FA at the end of the season.
Ignores that Chapman/Olson/Puk/Luzardo is the young core of that contention window.
Ignores the fact that Soroka can’t take two rotation slots, and Acuna didn’t earn six glove awards (4 gold, 2 platinum) over the last two years.
41 HR in RF doesn’t replace 72 at the infield corners.
Thinking the A’s even entertain this trade is dumb.
