Veto (0-1) Cargo is often injured and has never played a full 162 games and he is in the last year of his contract at age 31/32. Weaver has been struggling since called up last year and that has continued into spring training. Bellinger is a nice prospect (a top 10 in most lists), his most productive season was in the Cal league so there is some helium with him. Not really sure why the Brewers make this deal. Move newly signed Turner to 3B and then use Bryant in the OF. Your team is much better than subtracting Bryant and adding Cargo. I would think that Freeman or Myers would need to be in this deal for Bryant, not Cargo and Weaver. Especially when giving up Bryant who is signed at 300,000 (2020). I believe that this is close, but currently weighs too far in favor of the Dodgers for me to approve. |

Ya I don't really get why Cubs is making this deal you get a rental while good when he can stay healthy but has always been a problem for Carlos Gonzalez. Cody Bellinger could be on his way to being a stud at 1B or OF very soon. Luke Weaver has sort of struggled and expected to begin this year in AAA. Bryant is the Reigning NL MVP and signed for next 4-yrs and should continue to maintain 3B/OF elg. I think the best player easily is being traded by Cubs I think a guy like Bryant should command more than this. Veto #2 (0-2) |

I've been going back and forth. Ballsy to trade away the 25 yo reigning MVP who's dirt cheap for 4 years. CarGo is pretty damn good, over 150 games last two years, good numbers. Could maintain borderline top-10 OF status for a few more years. Weaver and especially Bellinger both pretty highly rated prospects. Bellinger is knocking on the door with 70 grade power at 21. Weaver got bombed in his last two starts last year but had a 3.21 ERA through his first 7. Super risky @ Brewers. Could be trading a top 5 dynasty piece for very little if it blows up on you. The probability you win this deal seems... fairly low. You're right at that lower threshold of acceptability but if you want to roll the dice on some guys you must really like, go for it imop. Approve #1 (1-2) |

I can't approve this one, I agree with others here that Bryant is worth more than a OF rental, prospect and young below average SP. I like the upside with Bellinger but he will not be a full time player for a couple years. I could approve with a Stud player, Bellinger and Weaver or 2 above average players with Bellinger or Weaver. Rework the trade and it should be approved. Veto #3. |
