With a couple of months left until pitchers and catchers report, I thought it would be fun to see what kind of trade ideas everyone has to further improve our team.
Trade Idea : CJ Cron+prospect for Hunter Renfroe from SD
The Padres are looking to improve their offense and that's exactly what Cron offers. They have good outfield depth (Kemp, Venable, Maybin, Smith, Myers will be cost controlled for 4-5 more years, Liriano was promoted last year) with a need for corner IF offense. For us, acquiring Renfroe gives us a young OF with a strong arm and good power. With Hamilton getting older and not returning to form, it would be nice for us to have quality depth waiting in the wings to be in the OF with Trout and Calhoun.
Another player that would be a nice acquisition is Jake Lamb from the Diamondbacks. A young 3b who can hit for average and get on base, although I'm not sure if there would be a match with the Dbacks.
