Future Budget Concerns 
Posted on June 19, 2013 at 05:22 PM.
I don't really know how everyone else decides whom to draft and trade in their dynasty/franchise, but I have kept a strict watch on my team's (Tampa Bay Rays) budget. Truth be told, in Season 1, I created a spreadsheet and tracked how much each player made and in what year, totaling each season and using a rough budget "predictor" to see who should be let go and when. It is with that sort of savvy that I was able to make good trades and draft choices to fill in some gaping holes (the point of this entry will be made soon, I promise).

As it stands now, my Starting Lineup looks thus:

1) Terry Carrera, SS (#1 draft pick in Season 1)
2) Josh Harrison, 2B (picked up at the outset of Season 3)
3) Evan Longoria, 3B
4) Wilin Rosario, C (acquired in Season 1 trade from COL)
5) Mark Trumbo, DH (acquired in Season 1 trade from LAA)
6) Wil Myers, RF (created in Season 1, promoted in Season 2)
7) Brandon Guyer, 1B
8) Leonys Martin, CF (acquired in Season 2 from TEX)
9) Garrett Chase, LF (acquired in Season 3 from PIT)

My lineup is *relatively* inexpensive, but the cost factor is bound to go up after Season 3, mostly due to the fact that the contracts for David Price and Leonys Martin are up. I know that Price will want a HUGE sum of money, so I will have to let him go. In keeping with baseball tradition, if I simply let him walk, I get nothing in return. As such, I'm considering trading him at the deadline (still a couple of months away).

But here is the big issue with which I would like some assistance: What would be a fair trade for David Price? In my Franchise, he's won the Cy Young award in both 2013 and 2014, so he represents a HUGE catch. I also don't want to fleece the game though. Any thoughts?
