3 Ways?!?

Human sacrifice, cats and dogs living together, mass hysteria!

Ultimately: Lowe to Pirates and off the market now.

Houston gets in the middle with TB and Pittsburgh.

Nice that Lowe is taken away by a team that the Cardinals aren't likely to deal with. Now can the Cubs overpay for Bregman or Marte?

If Cubs get Bregman they are likely to trade Horner. Seattle would likely prefer him over Donovan.

Fair although he could go elsewhere and I'd love that contract in Chicago

Maybe it's best if the the Dbacks sign Bregman. Decide they can compete and keep Marte. Or trade him to Tampa Bay

Then...
Boston trades for Contrera
Seattle trades for Donovan
Nado? ... sigh.

The Yankees need 1B and 3B. Contreras + Donovan manner sense. Or even Nado + Romero. Though they have to be in on Bregman. The Japanese powered hitting 3B fits here too. They also like Bellinger for 1B/OF

The Mets signed Polanco but want another bat. But could lurk on Contreras and flip Polanco to 3B. Bregman and Tucker do make some sense here.

(We may be stuck until Bregman signs ... again. I am starting to hate that guy.)

Royals were in on Donovan at one point.

Back to original topic...
A 3-way with the Brewers for our Contreras still makes sense to me. Even just a straight deal if you just look the other way for a minute.
