For instance, Yelich was more valuable when they traded him than both Sandy and Luzardo right now. And that’s assuming health.
They need a lefty SP so it’s Luzardo, Garrett, or Weathers. Houch, Bello, and Crawford are righties to mention so it’s a lefty first.
I think Sandy and Luzardo/Weathers/Garrett on our end and Mayer and Campbell/Bleis on their end (Bleis if I am undercutting it above) is where this starts, and the secondary guys are the secondary guys. Meidroth is a perfect secondary guy. A SS, right handed OF, and 3B platoon guy with Pauley. It’s perfect on paper and the other asset the Marlins get here is clearing $70m off payroll the next two years. They’d have their entire team besides two lefty pitchers next year for like $42m so they’d have room to buy bridge starters to let some marinate in the minors for a bit. Even Bruce spends $80-90m ya know.
I can show the math also if some wants the deep dive but the surplus value isn’t there for a 3 WAR Luzardo and 4 WAR Sandy with their money and 2-3 control years for a FV60. It’s two major SP and then getting an OF and Meidroth, and then throw ins to make it work. He is a Eury value prospect. Think about what we’d want for Eury at the end of his prospect status and it’s not 3 years of Sandy alone at $55m.
