12 to No. 10 is worth the equivalent of the 42nd pick by my trade value chart, which is a paltry return for taking back Bertans' salary. Of course, the value is less meaningful if Wallace works out for Oklahoma City. I had Wallace rated as the No. 6 prospect in my stats-based ...

While the Guardians value Rocchio, they also have a seemingly endless supply of sweet-swinging middle infielders. Known as "The Professor" for his high baseball IQ, Rocchio signed for $125,000 out of Venezuela in 2017 and is batting .294/.382/.419 with 18 steals in 80 Triple-A contests...
