Its Realmuto hands down. But both deals could get done.
I mentioned on another site.
Yuli Gurriel and a pitching prospect out of the top 20 to the Blue Jay's for Marcus Stroman....
It would put the brothers togather.
And it would give Strom a good little project guy.
I wouldnt mind a shot at Sonny Gray... set what Strom can do there.
I wouldnt be surprised either way

Why do some people think the Gurriel brothers want to be on the same team? I know I wouldn't want that.

Guys, let’s break it down into simpler terms. Would you rather Luhnow trade for Goldschmidt or Realmuto? Realmuto. Then sign Goldschmidt as a FA next offseason. Realmuto and Stubbs would be a good duo at catcher. |

I agree with the consensus. Therefore, we all reject Nathan’s proposal to get a declining ace and one year of control of a non-hometown discount 1B?

I say we trade Devenski straight-up for Judge. Then we sign McCann to a 1-year deal and do a straight-up swap for Realmuto. Then trade Reed to the DBacks for Goldschmidt. Sign Cruz as DH. Finally, we give Rondon to the Mets for deGrom. What do you think boys??? Is this GM stuff easy, or what?

Oh, and each of those teams will have to pay half their contracts for the next 7 years. Egad, I'm a genius.

If they get Devenski, they have to throw in Stanton before I'd do it....If they are willing to add Chapman, I'll give them AJ Reed, too. Judge, Stanton, and Chapman for Devenski and Reed seems more than fair to me. |

Devenski for Judge was a better impossible deal. |

The Rockies got decent production from Carlos Gonzalez for only $5 million last year. Obviously he is on the decline, but he still hit righties very well last year. If you picked up a good hitting catcher (like Ramos) who is excellent against lefties, what do you think of this:
Gonzalez DHs against righties while Ramos catches (this would be the bulk of the starts).
Ramos DHs against lefties, and Stassi/Stubbs catches with Gonzalez on the bench for righty relievers.
You're upgrading both positions while maximizing their value, and Gonzalez would likely be a steal at $5 million or less. This also gives Ramos plenty of rest from catching but we still get to use his bat. It also works as a left field back-up plan if Tucker doesn't pan out two months into the season.

Buying your players from Goodwill is not a good idea. Just because they come cheap doesn't mean they are worth having. We could get Jose Bautista for practically nothing, but, it would be stupid to sign him at any price. You get what you pay for and it's usually best to stick with what you know........If I want a Gonzalez, I won't it to be Marwin.

Why not go get Gerarado Parra . Trade for Realmuto And sign Daniel Murphy?  That way all the focus could be on Pitchers from there on out? Keuchal Priced his way out of Houston. (New York) MARWIN has done the same. (Red Sox) Morton is iffy. Everyone else walks. So there is money to be spent. Also have to look at Gerrit Cole being signed long term wright now. And maybe talking to Verlander for a extension. Springer aswell |

If you spent a good deal of money on a new catcher, you're going to have to look at value from other areas. Picking a guy that destroyed righties and working him into a DH tandem isn't about "Goodwill shopping". You need roleplayers. Carlos against righties: .284 .344 .485 Marwin against righties: .235 .327 .395 |

I'm all about legitimate upgrades in areas where we really need them (don't half-ass it), but you're going to have to get a little creative in some areas because we don't have the payroll to do whatever we want. Regardless of what we do with Marwin, DH and LF are areas we need a ton more production from. CarGo has the potential to do that if used properly. That being said, there are plenty of other options out there. |

Marwin has been a key role player for us due to being a switch-hitter who can play numerous defensive positions well. Carlos Gonzalez is not in his league as a role player. Carlos can't do half the things for us that Marwin can do. |

Nobody is saying it's one or the other..... |

Are the writers at Bleacher Report idiots? They predict, for Keuchel:
Contract Prediction: Four years, $84 million
For Eovaldi:
Contract Prediction: Four years, $60 million
For Corbin:
Contract Prediction: Five years, $110 million
