I was thinking about the same thing, with Myers coming back off a knee injury, it would be better served having him play less OF and less wear and tear on the knee.

And Voit while having 9 more HRs over Myers, that comes in about 80 more ABs over Myers. Voit only has 16 more RBIs than Myers. So really, what value is Voit really providing?

I’d like to see Myers at 1b against lefties.

The Giants traded for a guy who's 1-9 with a 6 ERA in AAA. He'll probably start and go 6+ scoreless against us tomorrow.

How about this trade, will not provide a player in return for this season but will help alleviate SDs CBT crunch which would help with additional moves.

PHI gets Nola and Lamet, SD gets AA OFer Jhailyn Ortiz.

PHI gets a back up C and he gets to play with his brother, along with an arm they throw into their BP. SD saves about $2M± for the balance of the season, and gets a corner OFer for the future.

Should Reynolds become available to us What is the absolute limit you are willing to trade for him?

 

Hassell # 1 spec + Campusano # 2 spec + P Wethers + # 5 Eguy Rosario...... is my limit... yes a lot but it's 3 yrs and 2 months of the closest thing I can think to Steve Finley

I can see Nola + Lamet (Cubs love him..always ask for him in trade talks) + SP Knehr type trade for Contreras... Nola low cost and control and Lamet (arb 3 next yr) might be enticing low costs for a team 2 or so yrs away from turning up the dial...if Lamet finds IT again he could be a great fit in Chicago... maybe adding Knehr (who looked terrific in SDP earlier in the year in long relief) is adding too much... BUT Contreras is basically going to get a lot of attention at the deadline ...every single contender except the Blue Jays could use a C/DH like him and while some (LAD) won't make him a priority...others (SDP/SF) will.... one way to eliminate options..is to take care of business and beat the Giants to a pulp over these next 3 games...

No on Hassell. Rather give up Abrams than Hassell.

I believe Aaron Nola becomes a FA at the end of the season so that link-up may not be for long, besides I always hoped it would be the other way, i.e., we get Aaron Nola to pair with Austin Nola.  My quick look into the Ortiz indicates just over the Mendoza line BA this year and last year.  Not sure he is roster-able with those number even though he has flashed some power.  Phillies are already over the first luxury tax benchmark, so not sure they'd add Austin Nola and Lamet when the upgrade is likely to be minimal.  Interesting thought, however, and I'd accept Mickey Moniak for the pair if it was just a salary dump on our side.  Moniak had a great spring before being injured and may still have something left in the tank.

With regard to Reynolds, I go back and forth regarding Hassell especially since I preferred Zac Veen to Hassell in the draft.  However, if Abrams is going to end up in the OF and can't improve his OBP by getting his BB rate up, then I think the package proposed by Henry is doable, substituting Abrams for Hassell.  Pirates have a great prospect in Henry Davis, who is currently at catcher, but that might not be his best position.  Campusano is already a better catcher and likely can blossom in that ballpark in Pittsburgh pairing with Davis.

I was thinking Moniak as well, being a Carlsbad kid coming home would be a neat story. Just was thinking he at the moment is less than Grisham. Were as Ortiz according to MLB pipeline has been improving this season, so something to grow on.
