Trade Deadline at Midnight - J-Up for Tulo???

by Buddy_Blue on Jul 31, 2025 10:24 PM EDT

I'm in a 12 team dynasty league (we keep 28 players - 20 MLB and 8 MiLB with no limits or $ values). Tonight is our trade deadline. I'm out of contention but I'm trying to improve my team

I've received an offer where I trade J.Upton/CJWilson/A.Soriano for Tulo/Beachy/Youkilis

Upton is my best player (my other RF are Markakis/W.Myers). Despite J-Up's down year I still believe he's an MVP talent. Tulo would replace Hardy at SS and solidifies the position but I feel the trade would create a hole in RF.

I wouldn't keep Soriano and Wilson is arguably a top-30 starter. Beachy is out after TJ but maybe he holds more upside than CJ. Not crazy about Youk but need a 3B (I have ARod).

Am I selling low here? Is it a good trade?
Would you do it? I'm wondering if it's a "1 step forward, 2 steps back" kind of deal

Hold or make the deal?

Deadline is at midnight ET....any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

sit tight

JUp should rebound next season. What will you do with Myers when he gets called up?
Wilson>> Beachy
Soriano>> Youk

Thanks Ray

We’ve got LF/CF/RF and 2 OFs positions so I’m planning on slotting Myers in the OF

The allure of obtaining Tulo is very appealing but I too believe that Upton will bounce back next season

alfonso soriano is better than youk?

isn’t youk younger and plays 3B?

and beachy was damn good before going down…

i think tulo is a better upton, his health is an issue, but id rather finish first in the years he’s healthy, and 4/5 when he is hurt, rather than 3rd every season with a lesser talent like upton… it depends if you think tulo + myers is better than upton + hardy…. im taking the tulo side

Youk

he’s younger but not by much and he hasn’t hit this season, while Soriano is good for 25-85 every year.
Upton is just having a down year, imo.
CJ Wilson>>> Beachy, Beachy won’t return to his 2011-2012 performance till 2014.
