Benintendi for K. Marte + Jared Kelenic?

#1 Post by aasilver »

This is a keep forever 15 team Dynasty League. Standard 5x5 categories. Im going for the title this year and could use a slight bump in HR, AVG. This trade is about this year first and foremost but also thinking of the future.

In my mind this kind of comes down to if you think K. Marte is truly broken out for the rest of this year as well is what long term prospects are for Benny Biceps. What say you? Thanks!

Everything Marte is doing is fully supported by the underlying metrics, so there isn't any regression due in the classical sense (good luck regressing to the mean), That said, it's obviously unclear whether he can maintain this pace all season.

Benintendi is the same guy, just performing at the lower range of plausible outcomes.

This is a matter of taste/philosophy, but when I'm going for it, I don't also have an eye for the future, even in dynasty formats. To that end, while Kelenic may be a perfectly fair deal, he doesn't help win this season. if I'm dealing Benintendi in a keep forever league, I want more help to win THIS year. Your team, your call.
