Increasing the budgets for teams has allowed contenders to be more aggressive at the deadline in trying to find that one magical piece that will propel them into October.

I also see somewhat logical trades between the AI.

But if you are wanting to abuse the AI with your user team I find it easier than ever to do so.

As the user I still have to police myself when trading with the CPU.

Myself personally I'm finding it more difficult to trade with the CPU this year.

But in full disclosure I hit the SUGGEST TRADE button to see what their "response" to what I offer. I don't constantly change out players, but rather, see what they want and counteroffer and let them counter etc....

When I got Gallo, the Rangers were persistent in wanting Bryce Denton (23 years old, #38 prospect, A potential) and Junior Fernandez (23 years old, Top 100 prospect, B potential)

The only change I made was giving up Seth Elledge instead of Kodi Whitley. Same type pitcher just I wanted to keep Whitley over Elledge if possible, and they agreed.

I really didn't want to unload Denton and Fernandez, but I really wanted/needed a left handed power bat.

Trade logic seems a little better, but it still needs work. I always check the transactions log after I advance, and if I see something too crazy I back out and reload. I wish they'd give us a trade approval feature like 2K has.

The rebuilding Mariners, for some reason, are hell bent on trading Kyle Lewis in my franchise. And the return usually isn't very good. I've blocked him being moved several times.

And a lot of the guys on the trade block, at least in my franchise, don't make a lot of sense.

Yeah like I said there are head scratchers, but I find it be better than its been in a long time, if ever. The increased budgets help imo.

And yeah the Mariners traded him to the Brewers (thanks M's) in my franchise in year one and got Corey Ray back and two other players whose names escape me right now.

I’ve blocked him going to the Reds several times. Looking out for your Cards, CB.

Anyone know if you can use the dynamic defence fielding camera when batting?

[LowerWolf]

I just had an inning where I scored five runs on one hit. You don't see that every day.

• Freeman (pinch-hitting) walked.
• Albies flew out.
• Harrison walked.
• Ozuna walked.
• Joc battled back from an 0-2 count to get to 2-2 then a passed ball to bring in a run. Then he was intentionally walked.
• Duvall with a grand slam.
• Pablo grounded out.
• Flowers grounded out.

Edit: Get out-hit 8-6 but win 9-1 thanks to 10 walks.

I envy your patience.

I almost throw myself a party when I can draw one walk.
