I know the Angels are after Holliday, but if you can get a David Price that's the way to go. I'd be surprised TB would even consider giving him up (arguably the best prospect in all of baseball), but as they try to make their way into the playoffs this first time maybe that is possible. More likely, I think Price gets an early big league call up to help them down the stretch that way.
You'd have to trade Holliday and Fuentes for Price. I wouldn't even ask for anything more from them. Not only is he one of the best prospects in the game as a former first overall pick, but also would be a good fit here getting those grounders when not striking people out.
That could even be sold to the fans disappointed in losing Holliday. We have Holliday now and are losing. We've had the Blake Street Bombers before and didn't get too far. The only seasons we did anything we had better pitching too. This year that pitching has disappeared and with it all the wins. Price is a true ace talent and not too far away from helping at the big league level and soon being even more valuable than Holliday himself.
If that's even an option for us, you gotta do that. There is nobody else better in the game to target for Holliday.
