Such a trade is possible, M.
Seager is an established 50+ xbase hit guy. He may be a 25 homer bat next year. He certainly can play well at 2B.
But if you trade he and Paxton, you better be getting 140+ of OPS+. You're giving up an established tru MLB-quality bat, one who plays two positions AND a pitching prostpect on a rocket. In fact, he would have to be a relative bargain of a 140+ bat, I think. Would you trade Gordon for those two guys if you were KC? I would, in a heartbeat.
Seager might be a 120 bat. Add a maybe ace, and you've got a lot. I would trade Gordon for that.
I'm not sure I would trade that for Gordon....but it would be close. Liddi killed A+ as a 20 yea old, Seager at 22. If Liddi is a 100+ bat, in a low BA, mashing way, then adding Gordon in such a swap comes close to making sense.
Much to think about in that kind of swap.
