Trade deadline - Who are our trade chips?

 OK, time to start musing about who we can trade for and who would be prime trade chips.  

Assumpton: We are not trading for rentals and if

Trade Chips - 

To understand who would be trade assets we need to look at our lineup going forward.  Projecting, here is the best lineup I can imagine, given the current players we have:

C - Bo Naylor 

1B - Josh Naylor
2B - Freeman
SS - Gimenez
3B - Ramirez
LF - Gonzalez
CF - Straw
RF - Valera

DH - Reyes

Extra OF - Kwan/Palacios

Extra Catcher - Lavastida

Extra INF - Arias

SP1 - Beiber

SP2 - McKenzie

SP3 - Quantrill

SP4 - Plesas

SP5 - Civale

Closer - Clase

Bullpen - Hentges, Stephan, Morgan, Karinchak, OPEN, OPEN, OPEN

As far as the open positions in the bullpen I can see Daniel Espino, Xzavion Curry and Hunter Gaddis filling those roles or we bring in some veterans.   Still, these guys represent my untouchables.

Who does that leave as trade chips.  Here they are, in order of the value I project for them:

Major Leaguers

1. Amed Rosaro

2. Ernie Clement

3. Anthony Gose

4. Nick Sanlin

Prospects

1. Gavin Willaims

2. Logan T. Allen

3. Johnkensy Noel

4. Peyton Battenfield

5. Konnor Pilkington

6. Brayan Rocchio

7. Nolan Jones

8. Angel Martinez

9. Jose Tena

10. Gabriel Rodriquez

11. Will Brennan

12. Milan Tolentino

13. Ethan Hankins

14. Joey Cantillo

15. Alexfri Planez

There are a number of other players who could be dealt for rentals.  This includes guys like Jose Fermin, Aaron Bracho, Junior Sanquintin.   These are guys who are likely not part of our future but still could have value in bringing in a reliever for a couple of months. 

Next we will examine the areas of need on this team and then who we might target and what I would be willing to pay for that player.
