I'll give it you you quick as I am on short clock. I have thrown this out in a few forms, but I have to move Braun and MCab or lose them to the draft. The only comparable trade I have had is getting Pujols, Utley, Pence, Weaver, CC for MCab, Braun, Pedroia, Verlander, J Santana. It is Utley's health that has me concerned.

I GET:
CarGo, Gallardo, Ethier, VMart, Dunn >>>> I'd like to push for Cruz not Ethier..... If I did he might pull VMart.

I GIVE:
M Ccab, Braun, Papelbon, Pierre, K Johnson

Cargo, Gallardo, Cruz, [VMart], Dunn > Cargo, Gallardo, Ethier, Vmart, Dunn > MCab, Braun, Papelbon, Pierre, KJohnson

You certainly are getting solid value players there. Still not a fan of trading MCab and Braun for for the likes of Either, Dunn, Vmart and Gallardo. Sort of trading 2 established 1st rounders a closer and some early teen round quality for a first rounder with only 1 year of quality under his belt and a number of round 3-7 guys.

Yes. That is my dilemma. Due to our league rules, my nuts are in a vice. Others know it and most are pressuring to get both in a trade as opposed to allowing me to trade to two teams. It is not awful, but there is so much more one would like trading these guys.

I assume you have tried deal with something like Braun and Verlander for a Tulo or Longoria or Crawford+ a throw in pitcher? It is not like you cant replace a SP and at least you would lock in a first round stud bat.

Honestly, I like the first trade more for you, even without Utley. If you are going to trade both those studs, at least get the best player you can (Pujols). If Cargo turns out to be a bust, then you got totally screwed over, but at least with Pujols you know he will be better than both Braun and Miggy. Also, both Weaver and CC are better than Gallardo, and Pence is a fantastic young player. Take the first one, but definitely don't take the second one. That guy getting Braun and Miggy will be stacked.

Agree with the above. At least you're getting the best player in fantasy, while losing 2 studs. Better than watering down you whole team.

Another thought: surely, you're not the only owner losing prime stock? If so, certainly seems another owner in the same boat as you can see the benefit of a truly even trade?
