I was thinking maybe I should send him down and work on his hitting attributes more and sign a free agent. Also, he gets tired really easily and has to sit out every 2-3 games which is quite annoying and I don't know why that's the case either. Another option would be to trade for an old 3r baseman to play there for the rest of the year, unless you guys think i should ride out olt

Go get a super sub like Cody Ransom, Nick Punto or Jerry Hairston that can come in to play from the 7th and on with Olt having played the first 6 innings?

Danny Valencia from the O's? He's stuck behind Machado and still fairly young. His power could play quite well at CBP.

I'd try and ride it it with Olt while getting that extra bat to not necessarily give him days off but rather sit him for a couple of innings per game. Run his training to up his durability?

Coming to the end of may the Yankees are 11 games back of first dead last in the NL East. They're offering Ivan nova to the Brewers(2nd place) for 2B Scooter Gennett and SP Jonathan Hellweg. The Brewers starting rotation is awful everyone has a 4 ERA or higher. Is this a realistic trade considering the circumstances?

Ivan Nova isn't a solid ERA fixer, but he can be a solid 2/3 in the Brewers rotation. What is Genett's potential?

It's not really that realistic. Hellweg was just acquired last year and is one of their top 'spects. Segura might be the main piece of the Grenkie trade, but Hellweg is an important part too. It's definitely not the most unrealistic trade to be brought up.

Gennett is a low to mid B if I'm not mistaken. Hellwegg is a high B maybe? At worst a mid B. There's definitely some logic in the deal but it feels like a slight overpay from the Brew Crew

Yeah it is actually pretty logical... but realism wise? No. I also agree with Totte that it is an overpay on the Brewers end.

Yeah I have always wanted to know this as well. Anyone know how?
