I just can't see Cleveland giving up that much to get Brown and Suzuki... They are gonna want way more than what BTV has value wise for all three guys that's for sure... That being stated, it's a respectable deal from Cleveland's point of view, I just think they have all three guys valued way higher and Cleveland is notorious for never taking a penny less than they expect...
I said it's likely the Guardians FO has him double the value, not me personally... They don't have to trade him and I don't think they want to trade him... 12 isn't even gonna come close to getting him from Cleveland. I don't see why he would regress either when he finally came into his own last season... Cleveland's FO is notoriously hard to trade with cause they never compromise on what they want. Allen was also brought up too early hence why the troubles. He has a really good sweeper, but hasn't been able to find that legit pitch to go with the fastball/sweeper. He's not likely to make the rotation in 25, but I am betting he's gonna look at lot better. Cleveland also now has a rotation of Bibee, Williams, Ortiz, Lively, McKenzie... Lively and McKenzie are out of options and Williams has more upside than Brown... I'm not saying Cleveland doesn't want Brown, cause Im sure they do, but he's not a lock to actually start for Cleveland. Then Suzuki... I want him in Cleveland, but with Thomas in CF and Suzuki in RF... I pity the pitcher pitching with those two out there... Plus DH is accounted for already and Kayfus is likely going to replace Santana next season...

Thanks for the feedback. I don’t always agree with BTV values either, but I think you are overvaluing Gaddis. He had a great year, but projections have him regressing. Also, Allen is 26 and did not pitch well last year, even in AAA. Those values seem pretty fair. I agree that Kayfus is undervalued. But for a middle of the order RF and young addition to the rotation? Only reason Guardians wouldn’t do it is if they didn’t want to take on Suzuki salary.
