Who would you trade by the deadline?

Harvey they absolutely must move. He is completely worthless otherwise.

Iglesias and Gennett I'd only move if the package we get back makes you say "whoa! nice!" Something along the lines of a top 50 or maybe a top 100 prospect and then 1 other high potential prospect for either (not both) of them.

Gennett is still kind of a surprise, as he was waived by Milwaukee and was not expected to be what he is right now, so there may be some hesitation from teams offering premium prospects for him right now, but Iglesias could very easily justify a nice little package of prospects, especially since we already have Garrett sitting in the wings as a potential impact closer anyway.

That said, I'd be happy if they didn't trade either as well. They're both excellent players and are playing great this year. There is the temptation to sell high on Gennett, especially since we're playing with house money on that one (since we claimed him off waivers for nothing, following the line of a Dan Straily/Harvey type trade piece of turning nothing into something) but if what he's done in the last 2 seasons is any indication, he'd be a welcome long term addition to our team for sure. 

We can find space for him and Senzel on the same team. either of them could slide into LF if necessary. Now if we could just find a CF that knew how to hit...
