[USAFChief]

Do it. Take on all the money.

 

No better pitcher will change hands this month.

Yes, almost certainly. 

Which is a shame.

We can't even dream big.

We can, and should. We just need to not set those dreams as expectations....

I'd like to think they can do this if they want, I mean, they can....I just don't see it as likely. Alas, as you say.

Why hasn't this happened yet?

[Cory Engelhardt]

I’m fully on board with this. 100%

Because the fans want the team to win a World Series but the owners want the team to turn a really big profit.

The player option makes it pretty highly unlikely he gets moved.

There are at least 2 scenarios in which Snell would exercise his option. Both of these would be undesirable from an acquiring teams standpoint especially if they are on a budget. 1 if he gets hurt, 2 if he is ineffective. I don’t know if it is possible to structure a trade contract to take into consideration a future unknown event, such as if Snell exercises his option then the Giants will send the Twins 30 million dollars. What level prospect would the Giants want for a guarantee of such sums of money. Perhaps someone who knows more about MLB trade rules could articulate what is allowed under such a scenario.

Giants selling Soler, have to think Snell is available as well.  Yolo.

Would you give up prospects 5-15 to get Snell and Vlad?

I vote yes.
