If the Guards would go for this, the Bosox would be crazy to say no.
The idea that the formula has Duran valued higher than Ramirez is laughable. Duran is no longer a CF and he can't hit LHP. Nobody will give the poor Red Sox that kind of value for him. NOBODY!
I think the value difference is because Ramirez is making over $20 million per year through his age 35 season whereas Duran is younger and still in arbitration years making only $7.7 million.
First off, JRam's contract is well below market value and he is one of the absolute best players in the league. The value here is not an accurate representation and everyone should understand that. Secondly, Duran's value is vastly over estimated. He cannot play CF any longer(if he ever really could), doesn't have much power and he has become a platoon bat. He's worth about the same as Kwan who is a better hitter and a better LFer.
Duran gets a ton of triples... But his value is definitely too high on here...
The place that helps set values have JRam having negative value as fielder (which he has been positive for all of his seasons but one) and a low Base running value (He's one of the best base runners in the game) Ramirez isn't available period and even if he was, Cleveland wouldn't even listen to offers near this type of return... Cleveland would likely want a stopgap type with 3-4 prospects with at least 2 of them (one position and one SP) being top 100 prospects... They wouldn't even think about swapping these two...
Ramírez won't be waiving his no trade clause even if the Guardians wanted to accept this (which they wouldn't, Duran is overpriced)
