You're giving up way too much. You're getting 2 moderate 1B, an ok sp(Holland), a potential great 2B, and a potential ace. However, you're giving up a stud 1B, an already established ace pitcher, and an up and coming young C. I don't think you are getting near the value you deserve with what you're giving up. Ackley will be good at a thin position, and Miller has the potential to be an ace but those are the highlights in the deal. Look elsewhere or counter with just Cabrera for Miller, Ackley, Smoak.
Whoever is trying to get Cabrera needs to pay for him, not take advantage that you want to rebuild.

you have smoak > moreland? smoak definetly has the power, but hasn't shown the average in the bigs yet. moreland just came up, but showed a good power/average combo in the minors....so who knows.
Thanks for the advice guys....great to hear an outside voice on these big trades!

I think Smoak is going to be a bigger piece of his teams future than Moreland. Hitting in the 4 or 5 spot for Seattle. In my opinion there is just more potential with Smoak.
No way you can possibly accept this offer. Cabrera is one of the games best hitters, your looking to rebuild so it's not smart to move an up and coming stud catcher (when catcher is a pretty shallow position to pull from), and a proven stud ace that is pitching out of his mind besides a couple rough games (that even then weren't all that bad). Don't do it.
You cant trade away a top 3 talent...I had someone offer me Ellsbur, Holliday, Lester and others for Cabrera and declined, bc you won't get the same production from anyone else like you will a Braun, Cabrera or Pujols.
Decline and sleep well knowing you did the right thing.
I have no problem moving Cabrera if I can get enough in return for him.
What would be an 'acceptable' amount to get back (# of MLB players, # of prospects)? If this will help me get out of the cellar next year, I don't have an issue pulling the trigger IF the price is right.

Personally, I'd want young MLB talent in return for M-Cab, not prospects. He's a top three player in my mind, so he warrants a significant return.
Now, I should clarify that I wouldn't mind taking prospects like Trout or Ackley who are close to the big leagues already, but that would need to be on top of MLB talent.
