Cleveland isn't willing to put this much into Marte with that contract that he has... Cecconi is definitely not available...

DO you think any of their SP depth is moveable? They have the big 6 and some additional depth, with more on the way. Hard to see how they trade for a bat without giving up one

Look at the SP group... Bibee, Williams, Cecconi, Cantillo, Allen and Messick... All are young with legitimate times of good MLB innings... Of that group only Allen could be available... Now, we need to look at the group after that... on the 40 man roster they have Peterson and Nikhazy... Peterson is a workhorse with average stuff and plus command... Nikhazy had an elbow injury... Then we have a bunch of guys from the 21 draft, who have made it through 2 Rule 5 drafts... They are AAAA types... Then they have Stephen starting at AA... No other starters in their top 30 prospects... Espino likely won't be in the rotation in 2026 since he will be limited to 60 innings or so... Tell me the depth you speak of... If any of the SPs are available it is Allen... Plus Cleveland cannot afford to take on Marte's contract getting 20+ million in the mid 30s...

I think they CAN afford to take on Marte's contract, but you're right that that probably won't. The lack of urgency to spend to get Jose some help is baffling. My perspective is they can take on Marte now and the contract is not so bad as to make it immovable in a few years. I also wonder if the BTV has inflated cost for Marte; I think AZ wants to move him before 10/5 kicks in, that could lower the price. Re: SP - I think the delineation of Allen/Cecconi is negligible. If you're willing to move Allen, I don't see why you wouldn't be willing to move Slade. Agreed on the 2021 guys, but Stephen and Hartle could be 2026 options and I would not be surprised to see Avila stretched out. Tugboat can be a 5, same with Peterson and Nikhazy (what pitcher hasnt had an elbow injury?). Gomez is almost assuredly a RP but maybe SP depth. I'd still like to see Allard back too.
