Regarding the latest reports:
1. Wouldn't trade JBJ or any of the "top" prospects (except maybe Margot) for one year of Chapman, but would package others. Would give more for Kimbral, given the years of control (despite the salary, which should reduce acquisition cost).
2. Would consider JBJ to Seattle for Paxton, or in a package for Walker if he's available; or to Cleveland in a package for one of their three. JBJ probably a better CF option for Mariners than Gardner (although Gardner probably a better top of the lineup hitter, at least at the moment).
