MLB.com ran a story Friday looking at five different hypothetical trades they suggested would benefit all teams involved. Trade No. 4 on their list was Wade Davis going to the Nationals for three of Washington’s top prospects: Reynaldo Lopez (Nationals No. 3), Andrew Stevenson (No. 8) and Austin Voth (No. 9).
Is that realistic? Would a team give up three of its top-10 ranked prospects – and in Washington’s case, a top 100 MLB prospect in Lopez – for one season of Davis , who is scheduled to make $10 million in 2017?
