How would you guys feel about trading Tucker this offseason

I’ve always thought people were crazy when they mentioned this earlier this year but we need to realize that we may need to treat next year as a “retooling year” in which we still try to make the playoffs but the goal isn’t to win a title and is to try and set up how we can contend while we still have Yordon, Altuve, and others on payroll

If we trade Tucker we can get some high level prospects for him and have Jacob Melton be his short term replacement (or maybe even replacement if he’s that good) in RF. The prospects would be key here because we may have the worst farm system in MLB at the moment so any additions would bump us up

Also if we trade Tucker we wouldn’t have to pay him $30-35 million a year which can clear up money for a Framber Valdez extension after next year. We also could use that money to resign Breggy (which I’m not that crazy about considering we have him till he’s in his late 30’s but f**k it it’s Breggy)

Overall what would your thoughts be on trading Tuck. He is our beloved king but if we want to set ourselves up for contention in the future and not just the next year we may need to trade him while he has value
