MLB 14 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Re: MLB 14 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Just go with your gut haha. I'm not trying to sway you in either direction but the reason I did the Toronto trade was because I'm trading Burnett/Lee, so I'm going to want pitching back. Sanchez intrigued me a lot with a good fastball 93-96(sometimes 97) with some other great pitches... struck out 12 through 7 with him in AAA and he is in the majors now. Then Osuna is 19(maybe 18?) A Pot with already decent stats. Then D.J. Davis has 92 speed! All you have to do is develop his contact and he will be one of the best OFers in the game. Then you know my reason for Jimenez. Not sure the exact details of the Dodgers one, I think it was Lee, Pederson and Urias? Am I wrong?

Lee, Pederson, and Jose Dominguez... but that TOR trade continues to sound good to me haha

Re: MLB 14 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

That actually just gave me an idea... I just got off but I know Chooch was batting .280 with 7 HRs and about 35 RBIs or so... playing pretty well.. what do you think I could get for him to the Dodgers? I know Ellis was doing bad, so I know they would probably like Chooch.

Straight up for Dee Gordon?

Chris Reed + Pedro Baez?

Ross Stripling + Tyler Ogle?

I'd still go with the Dodgers deal. Burnett to Texas, Kansas or Toronto in a separate. (Texas could be an option for Carlos Ruiz as well if you're looking to move him. Or maybe the Dodgers need an upgrade at catcher?)

I'm worried about what I might get for Burnett though - 2-8 4.18 ERA... Kendrick might get me more with a 3-6 record and 2.27 ERA. Why do you think the Dodgers deal over the TOR one exactly? Just because Pederson and Lee project better than Sanchez and DJ Davis?

Why not do the Dodgers deal and send a smaller piece (Kendrick/Burnett) to Toronto. If you're looking for speed in return (DJ Davis) as a part of the bigger deal, why not settle for Anthony Gose in the smaller deal?

Yes. It gives you talent closer to the show. Pederson would be able to contribute right away and Lee would be your AAA ace and earn a september callup. Don't get me wrong, the Toronto package is good but those guys are at lteast a year away from contributing.

Part of making a deal to me is to be able to play with the guys you acquired and not only see their sim stats in the minors (unless you opt to play the MiLB games as well)

I might try and get AJ Jimenez from TOR for Kendrick or Burnett, if that sounds reasonable.

Aaron Sanchez + Roberto Osuna/Alberto Tirado + A.J. Jimenez + D.J. Davis

For Below: This is the original deal from AC, toronto expert himself haha.

It's all a matter of what you want, but I didn't see Osuna mentioned in the deal.

Sanchez could be good too, and I agree his POT is higher than Z. Lee, but he can be wild such as how he was IRL today pitching a whopping 0.0 innings while walking 4, and giving up 3 runs before being yanked, haha.

I also like D.J Davis a lot too. He's still a tad raw, but he has some wheels, and could be really, really good. Jimenez should be solid as well. Honestly, you can't go wrong.

Yes. It gives you talent closer to the show. Pederson would be able to contribute right away and Lee would be your AAA ace and earn a september callup. Don't get me wrong, the Toronto package is good but those guys are at lteast a year away from contributing.

I already called Sanchez up after playing an MiLB game with him. He was pitching like Kershaw so I had to bring him up(Hamels hurt too so made it even easier, but he is back in the next few games), and Jimenez has started a few games as well. Biddle is hurt but when he gets back I'm so excited to have Hamels, Sanchez, Biddle, Osuna, and then Nick Martinez/maybe someone gotten from a trade? in a year or two... played a few MiLB games too with Osuna/Davis and bunted for hits 5 times with davis(lol) and pitched 8 shutout innings with Osuna...

Yeah, I like that idea. I think the LAD deal gives me good MLB ready talent.

The way Kendrick is pitching that sounds fine. If you then are still interested in the Toronto trade just replace Jimenez with a C prospect of your liking.

It does sound reasonable. Would give you a future behind the plate

This is just my OVR opinion. In the end you can't go wrong. Honestly at this point it's just based on your opinion.

You want to know what I just actually thought of? I think a Kendrick AND Burnett trade to Texas could be cool. Maybe get Luke Jackson and Nick Martinez or something... and if Moreland is struggling you can add in Byrd and maybe get another B prospect? Dunno, just kind of a random idea.

Yeah it's good for me, just as long as it's reasonable for TOR

That is a pretty intriguing idea!
