re: DAT 6/28: Astros (Framber) @ Mets (Carrasco) - 6:10 ct

The 1st base trade market sucks. It's basically Josh Bell and not much else. Garrett Cooper was mentioned yesterday which might not be a bad option.

Here's a list of qualifying first baseman and there's not a lot. The good ones are already playing for contenders, a few more adequate ones are playing for fringey wild card teams or improving rebuilders like Trey Mancini on the Orioles.

Josh Bell- Nationals
Jesus Aguilar- Marlins
Garrett Cooper- Marlins
CJ Corn- Rockies

Corn is a product of Coors. His road numbers are miserable. Don't make that mistake. A wild card here is Jose Abreu. White Sox are 34-38, 6 games back of Toronto for WC2. Abreu is a FA at years end. If they fall further out of it, i wonder if they'll be open to trading him.
