The other owner is strong on 2B (wants to move Utley) and really needs an outfielder. I was thinking of offering a 2 for 1 for Chase Utley. He wants a combo involving an OF and a backup 2B.
I was thinking of offering either: Ordonez & Kaz or Granderson & Kaz.
I would like to keep Granderson because this is a triples league, but you got to give to get right?
What do you think? Team is in the sig.

C B Molina 1B Pena 2B Utley Hill 3B Wright ARod SS Drew LF C Lee CF BJ Upton, Granderson RF Markakis J Upton

If he'll take Ordonez & Kaz, that'd be great & best for you If he demands Granderson & Kaz, that'd stil be great for you. If he were smart, he would at least ask for Markakis and Kaz, which I'd still do.
Can you only start one of your CF? You are absolutely loaded in the CF. if you can only start one then I would trade Granderson or Upton + Kaz for Chase. I would try and unload Granderson + Kaz first and then Upton + Kaz if he rejects. I think Upton will have a better year than Granderson (20+HR and 40+ SB potential).
I think you have to make this trade even if he wants Markakis. You are so deep in the OF and Utley will upgrade you at 2b.
i think you should offer it up to see what he does. likely, he won't pull the trigger. i would try to hang onto markakis over granderson. throwing granderson in should probably get the deal in my opinion.
