Personally I wouldn't trade Profar for Gomez straight up. A SS with all the tools seems too huge a risk to let him go, even with Andrus ahead of him. But just my opinion, which is what I have always had to rely on before this spreadsheet.

Your killing me here.....lol.....you must have seen my post yesterday about Soriano. This would make it really frustrating to hold onto Soriano with the addition of Tavares.

I was just looking at CarGo because he's someone that caught my eye in an article over the winter discussing how to replace Hamilton.

I'd take Stanton but I don't really like his name lol... "Giancarlo"? come on now.

If you're looking for the "real world" perspective... no. The Pirates can't afford stud pitchers unless they're homegrown, so the chances of them moving Taillon are slim-to-none.

Now, if you're looking for a scenario in which in could happen, it would need to be for impact player under team control for a number of years (ie, not Ellsbury or another FA to be). For some context, there were rumblings the Bucs refused to even discuss Taillon when kicking the tires on Justin Upton.
