The pitcher I wanted to trade last season was Alcantara (Sell high!). He would have easily netted Arraez, Lewis and more. And the Marlins would still have Pablo or could be trading him for another asset or two.

 

Yep, I would trade Luzardo for Royce Lewis, especially if the Marlins felt he could play SS. He's potentially a top ten player in all of baseball.

That upside is likely why the Twins wouldn't seriously consider trading Lewis this offseason. Maybe next year if there's some inconsistency or more injuries that continue to hold him back from establishing himself as an everyday player.
