MLB 14 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Re: MLB 14 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Both packages start with Bogaerts and Bradley...then it's pick and choose from Webster, Ranaudo, Cecchini, Vasquez, Britton, Workman and so on. We're talking a bunch of high quality prospects to get a quality player like that. Stanton would be the most expensive of the two given how he's younger and under more cost control than Tulo's big deal

None of these guys are really impactful enough to make moving Tulo or Stanton a possibility. I'm not even sure how they'd get either of them. You would need two top 20 prospects and then either a top 50 prospect or two top 75-100 guys along with them for either of them.

Re: MLB 14 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

I think Owens would likely be included.

Thank you! That's the guy I forgot the name of but was thinking of! Henry Owens! And the other lefty, Trey Ball

Boogers/Owens/JBJ is an okay start but I feel like you need another big piece in there.

So help out a bit?

Indians arent trading Asdrubal for Webster and there certainly not trading Yan after they just signed him to an extension a week ago

Asdrubal for Webster is actually a pretty fair trade imho.

Wacha
Hosmer
Sale
Gerrit Cole
Shelby Miller
Machado
Wheeler
Walker
Yelich
Profar
Bundy
Bogaerts
Hamilton

Walker would take a young middle of the order bat. Preferably right handed. They aren't looking for prospects. Also probably outfield. Previous conversations with Walker in the past have been to get Stanton, Upton etc.

I don't think the Padres have anything. Headley is interesting but at Rf in Safeco? Don't see it.

Yelich is a beast in the game in a few years. Walker too. 99 overall at 25. 250 K's.

Re: MLB 14 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

^^^ Hmm ok thanks! But I decided to start from scratch.

So here is my new situation.

Ok so I'm at game 1 right now, the season hasn't started yet. I need some serious help. I would to keep the trades not just fair but realistic as well. I am using stock rosters so there are no real prospects.

I have a top 50 prospect C, SS and 2B. I also have an 82 and 89 potential corner outfielders trying to get in to the lineup. The only one out of the 5 that probably can't start is my 2B prospect but he could if I needed him too.

So here is how my layout currently looks:

C: Grandal. Age 25. Ovr 78. Potential B.
1B: Alonso. Age 26. Ovr 78. Potential B.
2B: Gyorko. Age 25 Ovr 78. Potential B.
SS: Cabrera. Age 27 Ovr 83. Potential B.
3B: Headley. Age 29. Ovr 86. Potential B.
LF: Quentin. Age 31. Ovr 79. Potential C.
CF: Maybin. Age 26. Ovr 77. Potential B.
RF: Platoon Players

If needed I can shift Grandal to 1B, Alonso to 3B/LF, Gyorko to 3B/LF.

So as you can tell my 3 top prospects are blocked. So I am looking for some advice on realistic and fair trades to clear up some room for my rookies. Any ideas are appreciated!

Re: MLB 14 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Hey guys looking for some help on fair trades for my Twins franchise I will be starting when the OSFM rosters are out.
To start guys I don't want to trade are Mauer, Willingham, Dozier, Sano, Buxton and Meyer.

Im looking for some help batting with a true leadoff man instead of Hicks and some pop in left field to allow me to move Willingham to DH. I was thinking Revere and Brown from the Phillies. What would it take to get them?

Also would love some pop at SS as Florimon cannot hit, what would a fair trade be for Desmond or is that not possible?

Finally As Mauer is now at 1B Im looking at Gattis at C, any way I could get him?

Cheers for the help.

As recently mentioned in the thread, Headley to the Yankees is a really good fit. Try for some prospects in return. Moving Headley would open 3B for Gyorko leaving you with an opening at 2B. Either plug in your prospect there or move E-Cab there to open up SS.

How about Alonso to the Pirates? Put Grandal at 1B.

I like that idea! What do you think Alonso is worth?

I'd say Desmond is pretty much locked in at SS in DC but Espinosa is certainly available. He provides some power/speed combo as well and would come cheaper. Maybe try and buy Drew Storen for 50 cents of the dollar in the same package? The Twins have had interest in him previously. Trade Perkins for Espinosa/Storen and immediately get a new closer in Storen?

Problem is pretty much everyone with value is a player you mentioned you want to keep. The Twins system is one of the worst so I don't blame you for wanting to keep the talent. Hicks and Arcia hold some trade value but that's not enough to get Revere/Brown from the Phillies.

Can't come up with anything good in regards to Gattis from Atlanta.

Maybe gamble on Jose Tabata as a 4th OF in return with a bullpen arm like Bryan Morris?

I feel like that might be the best return they can get for Cabrera. I know he had a couple decent seasons but he's really not more than a 1.5 win shortstop now, at best. If anything, that trade might be a little slanted in the Indians' favor.
