The phillies seem to be rumored to be in on everyone. Still waiting to hear what Trout is going to do.

MLB rumors: Bryce Harper AND Mike Trout to Phillies? 3 steps to the possible dream

[SolidSnakeUS]

Sounds about right. That contract is not good.

 

[Halladay]

Where does Hoskins play?

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Braves signed Donaldson to a one year deal.

Goldschmidt would be huge but..again another guy putting Rhys from his natural spot..plus i thought he was younger than 31

I'd take Hoskins playing bad LF if they add Goldschmidt as long Machado and Harper are coming too. Trade Santama for literally anything at that point.

 

[DrinkFightFlyers]

Where does Hoskins play?

LF

 

[Halladay]

LF

That would be terrible. He is negative player in LF. Worst fielder in the league.

 

[wankstifier]

Hoskins is pretty damn close to Goldschmidt at 1B. ~6 years younger, too.

I'd deal with that for the upgrade in the lineup. I know that people like to have a stat for everything but I don't think fielding is as quantifiable as people try to make it out to be. Hoskins sucks in LF. No question. But is it a net negative to have Hoskins in LF playing poor defense but swinging a good bat and have Goldschmidt at first swinging a potential MVP caliber bat as opposed to Hoskins at first playing good defense and Williams/Quinn/Whomever in LF playing good defense and a mediocre bat? I think I would roll the dice with Goldschmidt and Hoskins having a bigger positive impact than Hoskins and whomever plays LF in his stead.

The first domino to fall. Up next, Harper and Machado, followed by a trade for Goldschmidt! w00t!

My wishlist is Corbin, Andrew Miller, Harper, and then make some sort of trade to improve the infield. I’m okay if Santana plays 3rd tho

All your free agent are belong to us.

Goldschmidt would make sense if the Phillies were going to pull off a blockbuster for Mike Trout and send Hoskins as part of the deal. I can't see the Angels trading Trout unless they get another proven high-quality MLBer. They can't move him just for prospects.

 

[FatTugboatFlahr]

I’m out on Miller, just don’t trust that guy.

It all makes sense. More dingers = more wins.

Goldschmidt and Trout are .300 hitters

I think the price would be 2 proven star MLB players and one or two high upside young players. So Nola, Hoskins, Crawford and Sanchez

I'd love Trout, that deal makes you worse.
