7A different take on https://www.baseballtradevalues.com/trades/trade-83608. Cleveland adds a unicorn to hit behind Jose Ramirez. The Angels get a pair of excellent SP. The Athletics get a pair of MIF prospects, but really you can mix and match with most of Cleveland's minor league system to get the values right. Maybe swap out Rosario for two or three of Curry/Burns/Allen/Hankins/Plesac if you want SP. Swap Freeman for Arias. Go nuts. Really the only players off limits are Espino, Rocchio, Valera, and Williams.
Another proposal that is far-fetched and never would happen in reality.
If you haven't noticed, reality is a trash fire. Take some time out of your life and escape it for a hot second.
What do you consider more far fetched? The Angels trading Ohtani to Cleveland OR the Angels making the playoffs before Ohtani leaves the team?
The Angels trading Ohtani to Cleveland, mostly because it is absolutely not how Cleveland operates.
I think you under-estimate the Angels' ability to waste generational talent.

Well, Rosario to Oakland doesn't make much sense for where the A's are at but his Value can be figured out. I tend to think Montas to Cleveland is highly unlikely... but I can play along with him being part of a package that gets Ohtani to the Guardians. However, if Cleveland wants Ohtani and they need Montas to get the deal done than Gavin Williams is part of the return for Oakland or no deal.
