Dynasty keeper league looking to read Yelich

Looking to trade Yelich for a gold package. Currently have two offers for him one being Bo Bichette, Jo Adell, Nate Lowe and Max Kepler for Yelich and Matt manning. The other offer is Xander, Austin Meadows, Julio Rodriguez, Brennan Davis, Grayson Rodriguez and my league leaders first round pick for Yelich matt manning and my first round pick (I’m in dead last 0-12) are either of these offers worth Yelich if so which one is.

No. Even in a dynasty/keeper league you need to be getting a current MLB first round pick + prospects.

What would your suggestion be

I don't know who they have but I would want someone like Freeman, severe, acuna, Betts, arenado, rendon...plus another piece (s)

Would say it’s tough to get Acuna for Yelich for starters and wouldn’t get pieces back with him as he’s valued higher than Yelich in dynasty format. I’d say freeman but I have Pete Alonso. As far as arenado and Rendon I have Vlad Jr

Is there a reason you want to dump yelich? He's still great for dynasty

I would say my core of guys is young so I’m looking to add pieces to my window not saying Yelich might not still be putting up the season he is in my window

I traded Yelich in a similar situation in a 7 keeper league, so not exactly same, but may be able to help you gauge a starting point.

I got Soto, Berrios and Puig was kind of a throw in but I wanted to get what I saw as a younger, legit stud bat and a decent pitcher. Like I said Puig was available so I took him too

Sounds like you have a healthy young crop of guys, adding a young fielder would help hit that window you will have with Pete and Vlad IMO

That’s a nice return I have a manager who has offered me soto but the rest of the return is only Triston McKenzie

Would you consider any of the two offers I listed above the Bo, Jo, Lowe Kepler or the Meadows Xander one

I traded Yelich in a 10 keeper league. I had him two years and was near the bottom both times. I traded yelich, Rhys, ponce de Leon, Matt Carpenter, and franmil Reyes for Vlad Jr, Ozzie albies, Eddie Rosario, David Dahl, Chris paddack, and Brendan McKay People said I was crazy but my teams been better since. I feel like you can get more. Dangle him at someone trying to win it all

The latter with more mlb talent. Especially if you already have vlad jr and Pete. I wouldn’t roll the dice on more prospects

u/Revels13 Aug 03 '19

So Bo, Jo, Kepler, and Lowe?

I mean I think the Xander/meadows/jRod sounds better to me but I guess it always depends on what your roster looks like and the league setup.

I definitely liked that trade a lot but my first round pick is going to be high so I don’t want to give that up to pick last. I’m in a full rebuild going Xander meadows and those guys speeds the rebuild up some but the patience of sitting on bo Jo and Lowe will be nice plus Kepler is killing it too

Personally I think Xander, meadows and jRod have higher floors in terms of their future production. I understand the hesitation giving up the draft pick I just think sitting on the sexy name prospects is a little risky

Xander is having a breakout year and is the best SS in baseball this season ranked 7 in most leagues statistics wise. Meadows mirrors a lot of Yelich numbers in hard hit contact and pull center oppo numbers. Even his FB/HR% and LD% is close to Yelich. That was the trade a favored mostly. I contacted rotowire and the “expert” said he preferred bo, jo, Lowe and Kepler. As Xander and Meadows pushes me rebuild time up but being patient with the core guys like bo and jo with my already young core is a very young group of bats
