Realistically, what pitcher are we likely to land for Domingo Santana and Brett Phillips? You guys know a lot better than me about this stuff. What are we loooking at? I don't think they have to trade both. It isn't out of the realm of possibilities to get like a Salazar from Cleveland type for Domingo. I may be off a little but I think that is what it looks like.

SplashDive Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 The more you think about it there is no conceivable way to keep Braun and Santana. Even with Braun playing a little 1B there isn't enough ABs to go around. Unless Braun will be playing on a very reduced role. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herbie_Hancock Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Getting Salazar would be nice. Always had good stuff, just couldn’t ever really harness it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SplashDive Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 This might be the worst trade in the history of trades It boils down to... Santana, Woodruff/Ortiz, Dubon, and Peralta/Phillips/Grisham For a guy that is coming off of elbow surgery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daintrain28 Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 I had the thought, why not hang onto Santana? A big deal was made about how we had team control of both Yelich and Cain for five years. We don’t have to go “all in” this year. Plus, if we move Braun to 1B (which seems more and more likely), we could use Santana in the OF. I think I’d rather keep Santana and let our young pitching (specifically Hader and Woodruff) develop. Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thoughts? It's an option but the talk of Braun to 1st isn't a full time move. The talk was about using him there against lefties. Basically you run into the issue that you have too many guys and not enough ABs. It can happen but with the signing of Cain along with the trade of Yelich it looks like they are making moves to win now and in the future so they need controllable pitching.
