Trade proposal: Yankees package Ben Rice, Stroman for Blue Jays’ Guerrero Jr.see more .
A trade proposal involving the New York Yankees sending **Ben Rice** and **Marcus Stroman** (if they acquire him) to the Toronto Blue Jays for **Vladimir Guerrero Jr.** would be highly speculative and unlikely. Here are a few reasons why:
- Value Mismatch
Vladimir Guerrero Jr.** is a cornerstone player for the Blue Jays. As a young, elite hitter and first baseman, his value is extremely high. Any team acquiring him would need to offer significant proven MLB talent and prospects.
Ben Riceis a promising minor leaguer but doesn’t yet have MLB experience, which limits his trade value.
Marcus Stroman**, though a capable veteran pitcher, would not offset the gap in value, especially as a short-term piece if he’s included.
Blue Jays’ Perspective**
– Trading Guerrero Jr. within the division, especially to a rival like the Yankees, would be a tough sell for Toronto unless the return was overwhelming.
Yankees’ Perspective**
– While adding Guerrero Jr. would bolster their lineup significantly, parting with multiple assets and potentially overpaying might not align with their long-term plans.
Such a proposal seems more like an idea from fan speculation rather than a credible front-office discussion. Would you like me to explore similar trade scenarios or offer potential realistic alternatives?
