Maestro make it possible that I can get Trout and I will...

i asked you this a month ago, but I'll propose this question to you again: why do you still have Lester?

JM, what does a brah have to do to acquire Lawrie? I could use a third keeper.

Sorry, brah. I have a few pieces that I won't trade:

Long term keepers (not moving at all)
Trout
Harper
Verlander

Short term keepers (not moving until the offseason)
Chapman
Kimbrel

Anyone else is fair game, which, includes but is not limited to: Cain, Sale, Perez and/or whoever else someone finds attractive on my team.

You seriously think someone would keep a Closer?

How do you plan to make that happen?

JM

I'm in talks with a couple people about trading him. It is possible. He won't be cheap given his youth and potential.

No, you never know though. You don't see the value in two guys with a 14K per nine and sub 2 ERAs? Those two and Cook have been the forces that stabilize my pitching and neutralize poor performances from my starters. Having the best two closers is invaluable. And that's why I can't move them. Commodities I hold in as high of regard as anything else on my team.

And cool, JM. Let me know.

I see the value. I know they're great. But there's no chance of me keeping a RP, and I highly doubt I'm the only one. Fernando Rodney has been fantastic, but I've never even considered keeping him.

JM

Send offers. I have nothing to let you know without an offer bro cha cha.

Chapman could be a starter next year. That and he's working on one of the most dominant seasons ever by a closer. He's worth thinking about keeping. He's the only closer worth thinking about, but that's because he's fucking amazing. Like Trout levels of amazing.

JM

Chapman should be kept away from the rotation. His strength is the ability to throw extremely fast and your not playing into his strengths when you stretch him out over 6+ innings a night and 200 innings a season. A dude's arm just can't hold up doing that. The guy has the ability to be one of the best closers EVER. He can come into the game when guys have already played 8 innings and they simply can't catch up. You can't give away that advantage.
