GET: Mike Trout, Willians Astudillo
Now, in 10-team I almost always take the deal if I'm getting easily the best player, but the two guys I'd be shipping off are elite talents as well. I've got plenty of 1B depth to offset losing my alpha first baseman, but the question for me comes down to how much playing time La Tortuga can force himself into. My gut says to go for it, but any advice on which way to go?

Weekly or daily moves?
Catchers are like prostate exams -- comes a time where you can't put if off any longer, so you may as well get it over with and take it up the butt - The Forum Funklord

You know you have to seek therapy when you see one of your pitchers had a bad night and it takes you 15 minutes to find the team you have him on. - The Forum Funklord

Re: Trade Advice
Pure numbers, you'll need about 480 PA from Astudillo to break even. That seems steep to me.
Game theory-wise, Realmuto is GOLD in daily moves since you want to get as close to the 180 games as possible and he plays a TON. Using Astudillo, or almost any other catcher, requires high maintenance with a valuable reserve spot, taking away the ability to fortify other positions.
Your team, your call, I don't think this is obvious in either direction, but my lean is Freeman/Realmuto.

Re: Trade Advice
Thank you, Todd! Maybe I don't fully realize what a gem I have in Realmuto, and yes, roster spots are precious. Maybe I'll think it over a bit and see if I can insert a different piece than J.T.
