Trade Trea Turner in a keeper rebuild?

#1 Post by Chefb2020 »

12 team NL-ONLY 5x5 Roto and we keep 4 players. I went all in last year and won the title, but sacrificed nearly all of my draft picks for this year, hence, I’m in a rebuild year. My strategy is to build around the best player I can and then try to upgrade my other 3 keepers during the season.

Right now, my 4 keepers are

Trea Turner
Marcel Ozuna
Nick Castellanos
Noah Syndergaard

No one has interest in upgrading the keepers before the draft, so my approach during this season will be to move any of those 3 players to upgrade.

I’ve just received an offer of Bryce Harper and Kirby Yates for Trea Turner and Noah Syndergaard. The only reason I’m considering it is because of my concern about Turner (seems to be risky - injury-prone with only 1 year of more than 120 games). Another reason is Thor. If he gets out of the gate slow, the rumor mill will start up and he loses all value (NL league and I’d lose him for nothing if traded to AL). My only reason for wanting Thor is for his trade value..

I know Harper has really only had one superstar year, but he’s been durable and seemed to be settling in nicely in the 2nd half to Philly.


Thoughts?

Thanks!!!

Personally prefer Turner. In 2015 and 2016, he played the entire season, some was in the minors. In 2017 and 2019, he was out via HBP, last year on a bunt. Your team, your call.
