Here's the trade: My Justin Verlander for his Andrew McCutchen
Here's the problem: Currently over the cap by 50 cents.
Now, I'm one to always value bats over pitchers and my initial thought was to jump all over this trade like a bum on a bologna sandwhich. But in doing so, giving up Verlander (1.80) for his McCutchen (2.30) pushes my budget another 50 cents (60 cents if I slot Cueto to replace Verlander). I'm also liking my pitching staff as it is. I'm also shopping a 1.90 Colby Rasmus around pretty hard and got some interest in him.
What would you do? Trade straight up and worry about slashing the budget some more, or should I do a Rasmus and a Price or Latos deal for McCutchen? My team is in my signature below.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. WHIR as always!
