Down vote for Oakland. Groshans + Tiedemann are the obvious pairing for a Toronto offer, I just wonder why the A's didn't make Groshans part of the Chapman deal this winter. My down vote comes in part because Sam Moll has 75 days of MLB service time (as of the start of 2022) and a minor league option remaining yet BTV lists him as a pending FA. I also think the A's are better served selling pieces individually rather than lumping them together. The A's won't (shouldn't) have any interest in a pending FA like Stripling. I think an arm like Robberse (2.7) or Juenger (2.0) makes a better compliment than Machado for an A's organization that has a lot of minor league options at SS/2B. I'd counter with Montas for Groshans+Tiedemann+ one of Robberse/Juenger.

I'm glad you like the idea of the A's getting Groshans and Tiedemann. I like Robberse, he has a 3-4 record with a 3.00 ERA with 17 walks and 51 strikeouts. I think he has a chance to get better. Juenger has a 0-4 record with a 3.54 ERA with 20 walks and 61 strikeouts. He could be good, if he lowers that ERA a bit. The reason I put Sam Moll in this trade is to help make the Blue Jays bullpen better. I liked his stats, and I thought he could be useful for a team that wants to contend. We don't know too much about Machado based on his stats, but he's an international player with a horrible power grade of 35 and he did have a hamstring injury. But I've heard he has a good glove which is why the Blue Jays signed him. I understand why Oakland wouldn't want him, but I'm not sure why MLB.com has him higher than Juenger. Thanks for the feedback, I'll see if I can make a better trade for both teams. It might look a little different, but it will still have Montas going to Toronto.
