Also Uggla is only on the books for 2.5M the next two years (not sure how?). I know it's not the fairest trade, but if the game will allow it, I'm going to take it.

Couple of years? No. They expect him to be good this year and after year one in my franchise he is an 87 overall and won rookie of the year.

Hale is below average with C pot. He wouldn't even start in their rotation and would be like 10th among their SPs.

Venters is fine.

and Uggla is worthless haha.

But it is your franchise so do as you want. Just as far as fairness and realism go it is pretty unfair and unrealistic.

I, uh, I really, really wouldn't do that. Ever. It's really unfair.

Yeah going off what ^^^^^^^^^ he said maybe this isn't the thread for that trade. I understand why you did it, hell I would take Bryce for CC since it's allowed. But this thread is mostly (99.9% for fair deals, sometimes realism).

Also posted this a while back any thoughts

There were a couple Ryan to St. Louis one, he won't be making my opening day 25 and his salary isn't great for it to be in the minors (1 mil or so but I have only 30k or so free). I signed Drew and Morales so my bench will be Johnson/Drew, Ichiro, Gardner, Cervelli or Murphy & Pierre (Huge Pierre fan). Might send Pierre down for an extra pitcher but he's hitting .455 in spring and has 7 stolen bases. Good for pinch running when Ichiro or Gardner start. Gone through teams that could use him and here are some offers I've thought up:

To Miami for: RP Arquimedes Caminero (23, 65, C) & SP Jake Esch (24, 63, C)

Cardinals for: SS Oscar Mercado (19, 63, C) & SP Seth Blair (23, 62, C)

Twins for: SP Aaron Slegers (21, 61, C) & 1B Dalton Hicks (24, 55, C)

All these guys are mid or low C's, chart says 2 mid C's. Going for fairness here. Don't really know how to value the guy.

Finally found my file, was simming the other one (ask for the Stanton deal) but am now going back to this one. Playing every game from ST to MLB to AAA and AA.

Any idea what fair comp might be for Gordon and Adams?

For Gordon, you could get Alexei Ramirez for a bit more than Gordon, or Jonathan Villar for less.

For Adams, Justin Smoak, Mark Reynolds, Yonder Alonso, or Nick Swisher could work.

Fairness is always a good quality of the game, but I'm going to take the best deal I can get. If you guys would help me with finding a new home for Gattis, Floyd, and Santana that would be greatly appreciated.

The problem is the trade logic is unbelievably broken which is why people use this thread to gauge fairness and realism.

Bartolo/Jennry Mejia+ for Gordon?

Not sure on Adams right now.. I'll check that for you when I get a chance.

I use this thread to gauge value, as this is my first year playing The Show series, and I don't understand the trade system.

Look, I'm done with the back and forth about this. This was the first trade that I sent to the Cards and they ended up accepting it. I was looking for a new CF and I decided I would try him first.

If you don't want opinions on it then why bring it up?

Because I was looking for help with what to do with Gattis, Floyd, and Santana, and I showed my trades to let you guys get a feel from my team.

You could try trading all 3 of those guys for someone like Miggy?
