Would the Jays trade Vlad Jr for Trout?

No.

[JAHV76]

Why would Toronto want to make this trade?

[mtangelsfan]

Some of these scenarios are just stupid.

Come on Billy, make a move or three, we are dying here.

To get Baldoquin thrown in as the sweetener.

in a scenario where re-signing Trout is 0% possible and we must trade him and he will wave his no trade clause to any team and Toronto wants to gut their promising young core of prospects coming up for Trout who will leave in 2 years only to still finish 4th in the AL East then...

 

still no

Got it.  We should throw in Pujols and get Bichette in exchange.

Sorry but even voting on this is beneath me.

Would you trade a million dollars for a thousand dollars that might transform into a million dollars?

[notherhalo]

Cmon, at least it's an entertaining thought

Why would the Jays do that trade

Trout is the best player in history while Vlad Jr is currently just a projection of greatness

Ok but Trout only has two years left @68M

i would take my chances with Vlad Jr with six years of club control as half the price. 

[gurn67]

Trout is not only a great player, he's a great teammate and a great face for any organization. We don't know if Vlad will be any of those yet.

[Lou]

they're both fat, so it's an even trade 

[Chuck]

Vlad Jr. is a solid prospect but his body type and the weight he's carrying reminds me an awful lot of a young Prince Fielder. 

But yeah, the Jays wouldn't trade for Trout because he only has two years on his contract and the Angels wouldn't except the deal because Trout is just an over better baseball player by a lot when you consider his defense, speed and MVP caliber numbers. Vlad Jr. is just a prospect until he performs at the level Trout has in the big leagues.

Ok.....I would rather have two years with the best player in baseball than 6 years of a question mark. 

2 v 4 should have nothing to do with it.  If I was Toronto I wouldnt do it because unless I feel we can win the WS in the next two years with him.  I know their farm is really good but do they have the peices to win it all with Trout.  If they dont than pass 0o n the deal.

Doesn't matter this is all hypothetical

Sorry I meant "in the game".  However I know some posters on here have argued he is better than Babe Ruth so that isnt too much of an exaggeration.

Historically? George Herman Ruth has better career numbers.

But, given the game has developed? Many of those guys wouldn’t be nearly as dominant today. Trout is the best player today by a considerable margin, which probably means he’s better than any player ever. Debatable, certainly, but not an unreasonable position.
