Trader’s Corner: Big Names, Big Trades
This week features several top ten talents changing hands. As I’ve been reading through the emails sent in for this column, I can’t help but notice two things:
1. Our readers are really smart fantasy players who make savvy trades.
2. Our readers sometimes play in really complicated leagues!
Seriously, the response has been great so far and I think it’s a lot of fun to vote on fantasy trades like the ones coming in to Trader’s Corner. What gives it another dimension is we’ll be able to look back through some of these posts later to see how the trades really pan out. If you’d like to submit a recently completed or pending trade for a vote, send it to traderscornertdg@gmail.com. I can usually respond to most emails within a day or two to give you my take, and at the very least every trade submitted gets posted in the column. Without further ado…

Those were some tough choices! The Rendon for Adams was the easiest one for me to make. Rendon all the way.
yup, lot of great trades submitted this week. I’m right there with you on Rendon.
In a 12-team points league, in rebuild mode, which deal would you do?
A. Give Nelson Cruz for Khris Davis and Alex Guerrero
B. Give Nelson Cruz and Jenrry Meijia for Springer, Russell, Correa?
B for sure
I like B a lot
I do too, but B has a lesser probability of happening. What do you think of A? It’s no B, but the gains are more immediate.
It’s solid too, especially in rebuild mode. I like Davis.
Your Team: John patrick’s Team – John patrick c.
Jacoby Ellsbury (NYY – CF)
Alexei Ramirez (CWS – SS)
Proposing Team: Troy’s Team – Troy K.
Jed Lowrie (Oak – SS)
Austin Jackson (Det – CF)
Andrelton Simmons (Atl – SS)
I’d stick with the Ellsbury side if it were me.
thanks mike

Is it a keeper/dynasty? I prefer the Mesoraco side.
Mesoraco got injured tonight though. Might want to hold off on that one. 🙂
Looks like he blew a hammy.
dynasty Mike. Thanks will do .
Should I trade Miguel Cabrera for Eric Hosmer and Michael Pineda?
