Though we have just hit June 1st and the trade deadline sits just less than 2 months away we have already seen a handful of BSA trades where veterans have been swapped for prospects. Contending teams starting early before the frenzy of the July comes. With that being said, here is an early Jersey Shore Trade Block:
One of Jersey's strong points is the bullpen. Their 3.30 ERA sits 2nd in the CL and they have a slew of talent in AAA as well.
LHP Phillip Moran - The 32 year old is enjoying a much better year in his 2nd year in Jersey, carrying a 3.06 ERA in 35 innings pitched. His K/9 is over 10 while posting an ERA+ of 140. He has a team option of $4 million next season, but with the emergence of Gerald Johnson and the comeback after 14 months after a nasty injury to Hyo-chin Kim, this lefty is available.
C Warren Goyer - The signing of Fernando Ramos in the offseason had Jersey fans thinking Goyer's days might be numbered and after seeing Ramos severely out-hit Goyer in the first 2 months of the season, things are looking that way. At age 31, Goyer is coming off of a 38 HR season and is in the last year of 4-year deal given to him by Jersey after acquiring him from Cleveland in 2016. He still has elite power and rumors have it he is looking for a very modest extension.
1B/3B Alberto Perez - A D-Bag for life, Perez lost his starting position at 1B when rookie Kisuki was called up before the season. The 32 year old has a career slash line of .293/.341/.422. He still plays an above average 3B and has a slick glove at 1B. He is in the last year of his contract and is also looking for a short term extension for any team that is interested in acquiring him.
LF/RF Jose Ortiz - A 4th or 5th option a crowded Jersey OF over the years, Ortiz has above average contact, a knack for hitting the ball to the gap and rarely strikes out. Currently making only $1.25M this season, he will become a free agent at the end of the year. With Berroa and Mendoza knocking on the door from AAA, Ortiz is very much a trade-able asset.
Now we will also accept offers on other players, but these are very much the most available. Feel free to make offers on other relievers as there is a long list of quality arms in the majors and AAA who can help many teams out.
With all the slew of talent, we are looking to restock the farm system. Just letting that be known before offers start being made.
GO D-BAGS
