MLB 14 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Re: MLB 14 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

He's played fairly well but definitely not at an all star level. First week of July his stats are .261, 12 HR, 44 RBI and that's with a two week stint on the DL. So he's on pace to finish at about .260, 25 HR and 90 RBIs, not accounting for being in a better lineup and a hitters park. If it was a bit too much I could trade back Nelson for a lower level prospect?

It's worth adding that Davis is currently on DL and in 131 ABs Gindl is at .260, 2 hr, 16 RBI.

Another option I suppose could be keeping Gindl in LF, and moving either Aramis or Headley to 1B since Reynolds is on 60 day DL and Overbay is their starter there right now. Would that be more logical? I'm guessing Aramis would be the better move to 1B as Headley is a former gold glove winner

With all that taken into consideration what do you think a fair deal would have been for Headley? I'm fine with trading Nelson and/or Coulter back for different prospects if that's what it takes for fairness and realism. I don't know much about the Brewers so am not sure if they would trade Nelson or Coulter. I don't want to take any prospects that are extremely unlikely to be dealt IRL.

Those stats are good enough from Headley to warrant your deal. No worries.

Quick question concerning Johnny Cueto. If his value higher now that he's producing, or are we still going by the sheet values to judge him?

I'd probably keep Headley at 3B and have A-Ram move to 1B like you suggested

Re: MLB 14 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Playing as the orioles, what would be my best option in terms of moving JJ Hardy? Im honestly not looking for a lot, maybe some relief pitching. I would love to somehow get Dominic Leone from Seattle even if it involved a 3 team deal and moving Tommy Hunter. Not really looking for anything realistic, just fair.

The earlier deal you suggested with Hardy to the Pirates looked fair and realistic. Give Hardy and Patton to get Leone back?

Works for me. See any way outside of Bundy/Machado to get Kris Bryant over to my team? Or am I just beginning to reach there?

That's a reach. Not possible if you ask me.

And the Hardy/Patton for Leone swap is not something I consider realistic with Franklin/Miller already in Seattle but you asked for fair and I think that's cool

I was thinking the same thing about seattle...thats why I threw in possibly something involving a 3rd team.

Seattle Gets: Josh Hart (19, B Pot), E. Rodriguez (20, B Pot)
Baltimore Gets: Dominic Leone (22, B Pot), Bruce Rondon (23 B Pot)
Tigers Get: JJ Hardy (31, B Pot)


Hows that? Tweak as you see fit, but something along those lines I would be fine with.

I'm not good at judging 3-way deals but I'm having a hard time imagining that the Tigers would want Hardy at SS when they acquired last year.

Could the Pirates act as the third team instead of the Tigers?

Re: MLB 14 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

In my Padres Franchise I recently had my sights on an offseason trade that would bring WMB + Workman from the Red Sox, to San Diego.

I am still wanting to acquire WMB, but no longer have my sights on Workman, as he was inserted into the rotation a few weeks back and has been dominant since.

Here's who I am looking at now:
Will Middlebrooks - 3B
Felix Doubront - SP (Maybe, if Red Sox fans think it's realistic? He's not a huge want, just need him to eat innings.)
-
Plus, maybe one of these:
Brian Johnson - SP (he might be too valuable)
Miguel Pena - SP
Mike Augliera - SP
Pat Light - SP
-
Instead of one of the four guys above, I'd really like to snag Matt Barnes, but I'm not sure it's realistic (even if he isn't playing up to par IRL and my Franchise).

Any thoughts on this? Not sure who on my team who is a good fit for the Red Sox? Maybe Street to close (if Uehara retires) or Tyson Ross, who could be a nice 4/5 for the Sox (+ other pieces)? Any other ideas?

Basically, I'm looking at this:
A.) WMB + Barnes for ?
B.) WMB + Doubront + (one of four guys listed above) for ?

I'd like to complete trade A above, with B as a fallback. I've been racking my brain trying to figure out a trade, and I can't! So any help is appreciated.

I'm short on time so I can't go deep into talks at the moment. Doubront is definitely available. So are Johnson, Pena, Augliera and Light. Matt Barnes is only available in a package for a stud like CarGo or Stanton.

I'd focus on your B alternative.

Tyson Ross is probably nothing more than a no 5 for Boston but provides value from the rotation and the pen.

Unless Street is in his walk year, he'd be an interesting fit

For the record I was the one that proposed the earlier Hardy to the Buccos swap lol. Which I want to edit since I dont want Cumpton and Wilson just sitting in AAA as my roster is pretty full.

Bucs get:
Hardy

O's get:
Nick Kingham
Maybe another small piece

If this isn't liked I will just go back to the old deal

Oops my bad. Kudos for it being such a good deal that I remembered it

If Hardy's on pace for his usual 25HR season and the Pirates are in contention with a sucky Mercer starting at SS, then maybe they'd offer up Kingham. If not, Kingham's too much for a rental like Hardy.

Compton/Locke + Wilson for Hardy?

Awesome, thanks for the help, and that's what I figured about Barnes.
Does this seem fair/unbalanced:

SD Receives:
Middlebrooks - 3B
Doubront - SP
B. Johnson - SP

BOS Receives:
Street - CL
Ross - SP/RP

How does this look? Should I add anything on my SD side, as far as a prospect, or sub Ross for someone else? It always feels like I'm not giving the CPU enough (no matter the trade). Also, Ross is pitching really well in the mid-rotation spot in SD, so it's not like they're getting a complete bum, and like you said, he could eat some innings in relief if need be.

Haha you're good man and thank you. Then I am just goina stick with the Cumpton + Wilson deal. Maybe convert Wilson to a starter
