Re: MLB 14 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

That's what I figured. How about Syndergaard/Montero, de Grom and Cecchini for Cespedes? Could also sub Nimmo in for any of those guys if that makes it more realistic.

I think if you use Syndergaard or Montero (if they're both A potential, which I assume they are) and add de Grom (B potential) that would work. Cespedes is probably worth a mid-A and a B level prospect. I think the chart would agree what that evaluation.

In my opinion Syndergaard and Degrom does it, if not Montero+ Degrom+Puello or someone like him

Agree on this

Re: MLB 14 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Agree on this

Thanks everyone. Appreciate the input.

I think that wile a better move for me than going after Price. With Murphy, Wright and Cespedes atleast I'll have a pretty solid 2,3,4, with Ike Davis and some other decent guys following.

How do you feel about like Syndergaard and Nimmo and/or Cecchini? I'd like to still be able to have the option for a package like Montero, de Grom, Puello for another solid bat or starter.

I'm sure Billy Beane would like two SP's back

Beane would want the best players he could get back regardless of position

Valid point. Meaning in this case what players?

Re: MLB 14 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Thanks for all the great info yesterday re: my Padres / Headley situation...

Here's an update with some possibilities:

SD is currently 24-26 and is in third place in the NLW / 2 games out of first place

I checked the other teams trading block needs and three teams are looking for a 3B:

NYY: Nothing interesting to me to trade for

MIL: Interested in Haniger (LF) / Delmonico (3B) / Morris (1B)

LAD: Interested in Guerreo (2B) / Arruebarrena (SS)

My first choice would be Guerreo, although I'm not thrilled with the idea of sending Headley to join Gonzales with a division rival...

Otherwise, I kind of like the first two listed from MIL

Questions:

Would LAD trade Guerreo for Headley in any straight up or packaged scenarios?

Failing that, what would be a good package to offer MIL for 2 or 3 of those players listed?

What looks good / makes sense, etc?

Thanks!

Ok in that case I'm thinking Montero, de Grom, and either Cecchini, Nimmo or Puello. Of those three id most like to keep Puello and would prefer to make it Cecchini as the third if that's enough value for Cespedes. This would allow me to make another trade using a package of Syndergaard and the two other hitters left that I mentioned previously, which is plenty for another good bat or solid starter.

Not looking for realism at all here, but what kind of pieces would need to be thrown in to make a swap of Stanton and Harper fair?

Re: MLB 14 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Hey guys I am running a Cubs franchise. We are playing really well sitting 1 game back in the division behind Cin towards the end of May. I am looking to upgrade my outfield. I would like to go after someone like Matt Holliday or Jason Heyward to give a veteran presence and some pop. What do you think it will take to get one of them? I would like to keep Baez, bryant, Olt, Castro, Rizzo, Bonificao, Castillo. Thanks

I don't think you can get Heyward/Holliday without giving up anyone good.

Valid point. Meaning in this case what players?

I think whatever the Mets would give up. Rather than just two SPs, they would take something like Montero + d'Arnaud or Syndergaard + Flores

I think they would given the right circumstances. Also you listed all those teams but the Cards should also be added to that list. You can just edit Carpenter's main position to 2B if they get Headley since he plays both in real life. He's a better fit in STL than LAD anyways.

As far as MIL, for some reason the spreadsheet doesn't have any of their top prospects. So I would say Headley + like Kelly for Morris, Haniger + something else. You could also look at their 2B Gennet. He's young and pretty good.

That's because they don't have any and why Keith Law ranked them the 30th farm system heading into this season ;-)

JK, I'm looking into adding more depth to the spreadsheet. Stay tuned for further development

Do you think I could get Oscar Taveras for Headley?

If so, what kind of pieces might either / both teams have to add to make a fair package?

Continued thanks!

No, this will not happen.

Re: MLB 14 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

How 'bout something that involves X. Scruggs (1B)?

Would STL consider trading him for Headley and would either team have to add pieces?

You would have to give up a lot to get Taveras. Headley + Hedges + Wisler + Fried. So in other words no haha. Look at Siegrist, he's solid. Siegrist + an OF prospect or two could work
