Has Price lost trade value?

with the trade to Toronto? I was thinking of trading Price before that deal because I'm concerned that maybe I'm going to need another stud hitter because of the recent breakout(or resurgence) of Cargo and he's on a team with Correa and Machado and Schwarber as well. And he has decent pitching that consists of Cain, Heaney, Liriano, Harvey, and Fernandez. I mean yikes. My two big aces(maybe now 3) may not be enough to deal with that if his team manages to get in that fourth spot.

I have had to deal with a slumping Rizzo during my 6 game win streak(about to lose two straight). And I can't start him all the time now. He seems to have turned the corner but for how long? Then there is Carpenter, who had a couple good games over the week but he's also dealt with a dry spell. Davis has been his usual boom or bust. The thing I'm hoping that helps is I had a lot of brewers and now they just traded away two of their top OFs to AL teams which should help Gomez and Parra. Dozier also is great. But I feel I may need to make a move for a sure thing like Trout.

The rest of my pitchers you know are Kershaw, Richards, Wacha, Martinez, Leake, Shoemaker I have had four of them since before the season. However, I also have Corbin and Nola. Is there enough depth there to give up Price and try to trade him for a top hitter before he possibly falls off?

Sure.

But never bench Rizzo. You could easily miss hid bog games. He is an elite player, so expect his "turnaround" to last.

I have played him the last two weeks I didn't one week in favor of Lind, though Davis has been on bench last two weeks. Lind might be running out of steam I guess and now Milwaukee has just mailed it in with their trades.

Whether Price does or not, it help to get a monster bat for him and Corbin appears to be back to form which could make the move easier. Idk yet. Maybe I'll try to move Corbin.

I still needed a hitter boost. And I may have got it.

I traded Price and Heyward for Trout and Weaver.

Well, hard to argue with that.

I would immediately drop Weaver though. What arms are on the wire? Shoemaker has 27 k in his last three starts...after a terrible start, he might be turning it around.

I own Shoemaker, I have the depth already with three angels, two cards, Leake, Corbin, Nola, and Kershaw. Weaver is in rehab and supposed to be coming back. he's been pretty good when healthy which is why I traded for him.

Nah. He's terrible. Had a good four game stretch in May, but his 85 mph fastball (at best) just can't cut it.

I'd definitely look to waivers for help elsewhere at any position of need.

Position of need is C and SS. Segura was doing okay but with Gomez and Parra gone, that could change. I had Molina, but decided I needed to cut him. I added Conger but he didn't play first two games.

Who else is available? Probably not Wellington Castillo?

I would drop Weaver for Severino. While also keeping an eye on Glasgow (Pit), snd Berrios (Min), both of whom I'd add if they get the call.
