You could maybe talk me in to Newcomb and Acuna as the headliners. I don't know if I would love it, but I think it would be a pretty fair deal.

Acuna likely will be ranked 60ish on the top 100 lists that come out this winter, but he is a future top 20 guy in the game in all likelihood. Newcomb has dropped from top 25 overall last winter to borderline top 100, but still checks every box you look for in a TOR arm. The inability to throw strikes consistently is very strange though with his delivery.

He is also the only arm that is not 2-3 years away.

That would absolutely not be a fair deal, in fact Rays management would hang up the phone laughing IMO.

Chris Archer is already a good to very good pitcher who is young and EXTREMELY cheap while being under control until 2021.

Braves probably won't deal Swanson, but Albies and more would likely have to be included.
