Hedges to Philly for Biddle + Bastardo.



Thoughts?

I think you could get more for Hedges honestly. Maybe Dugan?

Dugan on top of both of them?

Yeah although i think Biddle is overrated and Bastardo doesn't have a ton of value so this is just my opinion

Even though it may seem like the main piece for me is Biddle, I like Bastardo. If I move Hedges what I am mainly looking for is bullpen help, I don't care if it's a RP, a CL or a SP I can convert into a RP.

Currently I have a lot of outfield prospects that need will need room for 2015 as 3 of them will be more than MLB ready next year plus I still have Quentin, Denorfia, Venable and Maybin. Infield is young and full at every position. I don't even have room fro Jace Peterson. Starting pitching is full too but my bullpen is doo doo. I traded Street and aside from Torres and Seigrist the rest of my bullpen has an ERA over 7.00.

So anywhere that needs Hedges and can offer strong bullpen help would be amazing. I really like Bastardo, Strop and Cook/Doolittle. Feliz, Caros Smith (SEA), Greg Holland and Robertson are also nice but idk how realistic they are

How is Washington doing at this point in your season, they have quiet a few pieces in the bullpen.

7 Games back. 47-47 but they have Ramos so I ruled them out.

Re: MLB 14 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Baez or Bryant plus some.

I wouldn't give up either of them for Machado, actually. That's probably his market value, but the most I would personally give is Albert Almora + Arismendy Alcantara.

I was thinking a move to the OF, which may happen, and he'd be a great replacement for Werth.

Cubs would seem to be a really good fit. Strop and Rondon are solid relievers. James Russell is a solid lefty. Unfortunately Vizcaino and Neil Ramirez are rated horribly, or they could be options as well.

If you are looking at realism, however, Hedges would never be traded for bullpen depth outside of a closer with Kimbrel/Chapman type value.

Neither would I but there is no other way the O's would give Machado up. Fairness that would have to be the deal. Realism, the trade just won't work in general.

Move Hedges to the OF with his defensive stats or move Ramos?

What do you think of the Royals as a fit if Perez/Hedges moved positions? Not sure what yet, just tossing out ideas.

If I go for the Cubs I will probably do a 3 team trade with Hedges and Castro and the third piece being a solid closer or something.

I don't know enough about Hedges to know about him switching positions. Same with Perez. I guess he may be able to move to 3B is Moustakas is struggling again.

I like the idea of a 3 team deal though. Maybe add the Mets as the 3rd team?

I understand and you can do whatever you want but Hedges has a lot more value. It might be worth grabbing a prospect from the low minors so that they can be a future piece or a trade chip. Strop and Almora i think would be a better package you could even snag a lesser arm or shed an expensive player for salary relief

I was thinking Rays, Royals, Twins, Marlins, Mets and Pirates.

The main pieces of the deal would look like this I think. Though additions to the deal need to be played with but all these teams would get Castro and give up:

Rays give up Moore
Royals give up Holland

Not sure who the Twins, Marlins, Mets and Pirates would give up but I'm sure something could work.

Maybe do a 3 team trade that sends Hedges to a team that needs a catcher and move outfield help (Rasmus from the Jays like has been discussed before?) to the Royals while getting some of their bullpen pieces and a potential prospect or two back? I don't have specific pieces in mind exactly, but it seems like a better solution than switching players positions.

Re: MLB 14 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

So in my Astros franchise, I need a backup first baseman.

What I would really like is a C/1B. Somebody that can replace Jason Castro one game and then Jon Singleton the next. Carlos Corporan is freaking horrible

The guy I'm thinking of is Jordan Pacheco from Colorado.

I'm thinking maybe something like Paul Clemens for Pacheco.

What do you guys think?
