I think the price tag of prospects is going to be too high for the Toddfather. I have him on one of my fantasy teams I'm well aware that he has been much better over the past month or so. The cost in trade makes it not worth to be a rental, and honestly I'd rather see ownership spend money on something more than an overpriced third baseman...again...and put it somewhere else while the hot corner duo develops. To win a world series you don't need to be elite at every position, if third is the hole in the lineup they should be able to work through it if they are good enough.
Curious what kind of package you think he'd cost? I'm pretty certain it's less than what you expect.
And you do realize that we rank 29th in the ML in 3rd basemen wRC+? That's brutal...and that will NOT win us a Championship this year. We just lost against the Rays because we couldn't even score 1 run. Hanley has been horrible too but no need to have 2 holes in his lineup if we don't have to. Neither of our minor league 3B are ready/going to be ready for the majors this season so we need to make a move for a rental...and anything less than getting a guy who can hit for power is not worth doing. We rank 26th in HR and are in the bottom half in SLG%, awful for a team with so much talent. I won't be happy if DD stays pat at the deadline.
