We've already seen several big trades as we inch closer to the Winter
Meetings, and we should expect to see more as teams continue to fill their
needs before the free-agent signing frenzy starts.
I recently offered up five blockbuster deals that I would like to see, and
here are five more deals that make sense. These trades won't all occur in
real life, but each makes a great deal of sense for the franchises listed.
Jim Duquette預測可能會有的五個重點交易,參考看看吧!
1. Rays trader closer Brad Boxberger to the Astros
The Astros are on a quest to upgrade their bullpen, and last week I suggested
they make a deal for Aroldis Chapman. A trade for the right-handed Boxberger
wouldn't be as splashy, but it might have more long-term benefit, when you
consider that Chapman will be a free agent next winter. Following an
impressive 2015 campaign in which he recorded 10.6 strikeouts per nine
innings and 41 saves, the 27-year-old Boxberger would slot into Houston's
ninth-inning role and improve the club's bullpen depth.
太空人正為了加強牛棚,作者除了提議Aroldis Chapman之外, Brad Boxberger也是個不
錯的選擇,除了有比較長的控制權之外,Aroldis Chapman在明年2016年球季後就FA也是
個原因。
In return: Boxberger has four more years of team control, which means Tampa
Bay has leverage and could ask for a package of a couple of prospects,
featuring one elite guy, such as outfielder Kyle Tucker, Houston's No. 4
prospect, first baseman A.J. Reed (No. 5) or right-hander Francis Martes (No.
7).
鑒於Brad Boxberger有四年的球隊控制權,光芒索取的自然是數位潛力新秀,例如
Kyle Tucker(太空人隊 No. 4潛力新秀)、A.J. Reed (1B, No. 5)或Francis Martes(RHP
,No.7)
2. Pirates trade closer Mark Melancon to the Nationals
While we are on the subject of closers, the Pirates are taking the
temperature on the trade value of Melancon, an All-Star ninth-inning arm. The
Nationals are also reportedly looking to bolster their relief corps, so a
deal for Melancon
