Our top prospects are:
Noelvi Marte
Rhett Lowder
Edwin Arroyo
Connor Phillips
Cam Collier
Chase Petty
Sal Stewart
Ricardo Cabrera
Carlos Jorge
Alfredo Duno
I'd be uncomfortable if any of the top 5 were involved in this trade.
I also think Sal Stewart, Alfredo Duno, and Carlos Jorge are young guys on the upturn and could break out this season, so I'd be bummed if we traded any of them, but realize that may be the cost of doing business.
Out of all of them, Marte makes the most sense seeing as we can put India back at 3rd and still field a really good INF. I'm with you on not wanting any of those top 5 in the deal, but to get quality, you have to give up some as well. Wouldn't be too upset if it lands us a dependable TOR arm with either control or an immediate 2-3 year extension.
