Harris has been playing more 1B even though he was drafted as a 3B

Are we going to make the same mistake with Lynn as we did with Minor last year, with a lot more to lose?
So do you want what he’s worth or just whatever the other team is willing to give?

Our two best are still on the clock. Surprised but hope JD does not cave and sell cheap.

His worth is what we can get for him. The market determines his worth. He will bring less this coming offseason and even less a year from now. Just like we saw with Minor.

His trade value is high right now so getting what he’s worth now is more important than worrying about his off-season return or next year’s return. You seem more concerned with getting rid of him than what we get back

Really hoping we can still move Gallo, Lynn, and Odor.

If Lynn does as well next year depending upon CBA, he would warrant QO and potentially a first round sandwich pick

That doesn't mean too much compared to what this market has been giving up presently.

Also, a lot could go wrong between now and then. (see Mike Minor)

Pudge's son Dereck claimed off waivers by the Tigers.

Maybe it doesn’t mean much but maybe it means a lot. Just don’t think you cave in negotiations

I think a more important thing about the draft to keep in mind is if the Rangers do trade Lynn today it could improve our draft position next year. Think Bregman vs. Tate.

Where did that get us with Minor?

This is such a seller's market that JD would have to be embarrassed if a good deal doesn't go down.

Lynn> Minor. I do help they sell but not for something significant. Better than what Tribe got

Their deal included veterans so it is hard to compare. Also, they wanted to trade him for some personal reasons and that was known, like Levi Weaver pointed out.
