What about instead of subbing Cecchini I just add Stephen Drew? I signed him near the beginning of the season, not sure what the restriction is on trading him though.

I'd like to keep guys like Wheeler (for obvious reasons), Flores and d'Arnaud since they are prospects with their real pictures in the game. Seems silly, but helps me maintain some more realism. As the franchise progresses a few years in.

signing a FA to a 1-year deal then using him as trade bait doesn't seem at all realistic to me so I'd say no if that's even allowed in-game...Also im not sure why if Baltimore is out of it, they would want a vet like Drew instead of a prospect

That's what I figured. Maybe I'll try swapping Ike/Duda and Colon/Gee out for an MLB ready SS. Colon is leading the NL with a 2.03 era through the beginning of June, so even though he was just signed I could see the Mets moving him to a contender to capitalize on his value. Then I could use that SS in the deal above.

I'm thinking maybe to Seattle for Franklin or Arizona for Gregorius?

Here's another thought. Just spitballing here but what about adding in like a Beckham or Yunel to a David Price deal (Id add Cecchini or someone comparable) and then send that guy to Baltimore?

well first off, is Baltimore anywhere out of it in your chise? and I'd like to assume if so, Markakis and Chen are performing well? as for Ike or Duda, they'd really have to be outperforming Justin Smoak and/or Corey Hart for either of them to make sense in Seattle and I don't know how much ...with Goldy locked up in the desert, neither Ike or Duda (unless you move him back to LF) would make much sense there....Yunel just signed a cheap mid-extension for Tampa and Beckham's value isn't anywhere as it was

They're slowly slipping down the standings. Right now they're 8 back. I wouldn't be making these moves until near the deadline so if they're in competition I wouldn't be making the trade for Markakis most likely (granted he's only at .219 with 1 hr and 11 RBI in beginning of June).

Zobrist+ Betemit would not be enough for Davis, Napoli, Abreu, or Craig

Maybe I'm reading this wrong, but I can't see a Zobrist+ trade working for any of those players mentioned outside of Cody Ross (and I wouldn't make that trade as an individual running a Rays Franchise).

You guys are way undervaluing Zobrist. Only player I'd take over Zobrist there is Davis. Abreu is unrealistic but I'd give Craig+ for Zobrist and Napoli is WAY less valuable than Zobrist.

Yeah with Zobrist you get a solid #2 hitter that can play any position except catcher. I undersold him a bit going for Wilin Rosario and a couple prospects, but Zobrist was in his contract year and I now have my catcher for the future.

What do you guys think work for Greg Holland? Aaron Sanchez + what?

Maybe Stilson or De Jong? If that's too high, someone like Deck McGuire.

I know you're not all that high on Sanchez, and you know the Jays system far better than I do. I'd say something like a low B/high-ish C if those guys don't work. Just throwing out names.

He's going to explode. Want to get some value.

That DEFINITELY isn't too high, lol.

Lol. I was looking at the spreadsheet, and I think it was something like a high B + low B for Holland. So Sanchez + a low B (DeJong or Stilson) would work. It seems like you view Sanchez as more of a B than the A he is in the game.

Just curious, what's the deal with Sanchez? Is there an injury history there, or do you just not like his stuff as much as everyone else? I think I read somewhere about a rework in his delivery, which could be a problem.

Bad mechanics and sucking at AA.

Undervaluing Zobrist? Big suprise.

Aaron Sanchez straight up plus more from the Royals realistically. He still is a top prospect. I don't see why you hate him so much. To me, he's a great prospect who has #2 potential. I've just always liked him though.

I feel I got a pretty good value for him. I got Rosario, Alfonso Cabrera (SP age: 20 overall: 55 potential: B) and James Dickens (2B/SS age: 18 overall: 58 potential: C, but really only needs to work on his hitting and speed, fielding is start quality. Also I traded the Rays starting catcher Ryan Hanigan for Marlon Byrd, who rounds out my defense and gives me a solid option against lefties, and opens up room to trade DeJesus for someone like Juan Cabrera, Yangervis Solarte, Trevor Plouffe, Leonardo Fuentes, or Trent Keenan. Who do you guys like out of that last bunch the best and why, looking for a low end starting 2B with a couple other positions.

I'm not even 100% comfortable with Sanchez+ for Holland lol. How does a guy with a 5.59 BB/9 at AA at the age of 22 and a 4.15 SIERA have #2 potential? He's not even striking guys out. 7.63 K/9. I'm trying to move him while he still has perceived value before he totally tanks.

Guys with no control who rely on inducing weak contacts to suppress their BABIP - and, in turn, ERA - in the minors have a history of suckage, one would think.

There are a bunch of examples of a player signing a one year deal and getting dealt if the team is out of contention. It's a risk-reward type signing.

Also realism was thrown out the door after the Marlins signed those free agents and traded them after year 1. Anything can happen mate
