Most Valuable Trade Properties
You must think of this exercise as players being properties. That is, they have an asset value (their future production), but they also have liabilities (their future contracts, whether signed, or presumed to sign). Whoever has the largest net asset value is MLB's most valuable property. Dave does this every year, and his top 3 are: Trout, Harper, Machado.
He has Harvey in the top 10 as the only pitcher. The interesting one he has in Kershaw as #15 and Stras as #14, even though Kershaw is a free agent after the 2014 season, while Stras is a free agent after the 2016 season. He's suggesting that it would cost a team as much to get Kershaw for 1.5 years as it would to get Stras for 3.5 years of guaranteed control. I don't have an opinion to share on the matter. It's just interesting.?
