IDK man, Judge had better WAR on worse team that had them overacheive into the playoffs that season. In terms of narratives and performance, I feel it should've been a no-brainer. But I guess they gave it to Altuve more b/c he 'paid his dues' a la Trout being robbed for MVP 2x aka "he'll win plenty in his career, let's give it to this guy instead".

Is the anti-Yankees award bias similar to the Yankees Tax in trades?

Ya, he is the worst defender in baseball. Hurts the team too much on the field.
When your GM doesn't want to part with a 2.2 WAR player for a multiple Cy Young Award winner.

I would be willing to part with Florial for Kluber.
We kind of don't have a shortstop and kind of wouldn't have a third baseman if we parted with Andujar...
Not tading a penciled-in starter is different from hugging prospects.

Somebody needs to replace Austin's ability to break ankles sliding into second.
I’d do it for free tbh.
But on topic, I wouldn’t include andujar for Kluber either but hugging florial, as talented as he is, would be insane.

This is a bad hockey team.
All this Machado talk is scaring me. That is a lot of money to invest in a guy with acknowledged character issues.
Ok with trading Andujar for Kluber. Not ok with dealing Florial for anyone really. Kid is legit.
But if they do deal Andujar, we need Machado signed.

Would rather have character issues than worst defense in majors issues at 3B.
I'm holding Andujar incase Bumgarner shakes lose in SF. Florial has a ton of talent, but theres significant of risk there too.
Holding him over Andujar would be insane. One has already shown he can hit in the majors, the other hasn't even shown that he can hit AA pitching.
Character issues and all, hes a perennial 6 WAR player.
I don't know that its the wisest investment for other reasons, but the character stuff is overblown.

Getting a haircut made deGrom:
1. More handsome
2. A Cy Young winner
It's just science, folks
Scouts are saying this kid is going to be a star. A 5-Tool player. If you sign Machado, he replaces Andujar.
Hicks is not going to be here long term. Frazier in LF. Florial in CF in 2-3 years. Lengthen the window while having cheaper salaries on the books.

Okay and they dont have to sacrifice Florial to achieve that. They dont. They were one game away from the WS just two years ago with a very young and raw team. They lost this past year to a 108 team that was on a war path. They are not far off.
Sign Machado.
Sign Daniel Murphy for 2B
Let Voit/Bird battle out 1B
Sign Miller
Try to re-sign one of DRob/Britton
Trade for Kluber with Andujar as the main piece
Sign one of Corbin/Happ/Keuchel (last resort)
Re-Sign Hechevarria
