MLB 14 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Re: MLB 14 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

I decided to do a sim Minnesota Twins franchise to keep me busy whenever I get bored in my real franchise. I'm thinking about making two trades at the deadline

Joe Mauer to the Red Sox for Anthony Ranaudo, Henry Owens and Mookie Betts.

Miguel Sano to the Mets for Noah Syndergaard and Vic Black.

Pierzynski on the Red Sox was out for the year (injury) and a FA at the end of the year but they were in contention still. Mauer is hitting .306 with 8 HR. As for the Sano trade, I like building my franchises around pitching and the Twins have absolutely no pitching. The Mets on the other hand have lots of young pitching but not many good hitting prospects. I figure the Mets can move Sano to first since they still have no answer over there and I thought I could grab Black in the deal too because Syndergaard isn't quite the prospect Sano is. I know trading Sano isn't very realistic, but I already decided to trade him for a pitching prospect and this is the best/most realistic deal in my opinion.

I didn't complete any of these trades yet, I'm still looking for some feedback.

As far as fairness is concerned your Sano deal isn't bad but prospect for prospect deals are not realistic.

Sano >> Syndergaard imo

Currently sitting in first place with the brewers after month 1. The cards are right there behind me. Looking to dump Lohse still and I see the Rays have put Hellickson on the trading block. What do you guys think would be a fair offering for him? The Rays currently sit in last place in the East.

Hate to bump my own stuff but not sure if this will get seen from the last page.

I'm not too familiar with the brewers farm system, is there any good prospects the rays may be interested in since they're in last place?

I think any deal would have to start with Taylor Jungmann. Maybe Hunter Morris since hes close to being a everyday MLB 1st baseman.

But the Brewers systems is weak, so I don't know if realistically they would deal prospects.

That gets it done, but does he really want to rely on Rickie Weeks as his full time 2B? Haha

Are there any good places for Jose Iglesias to go? I'm at the deadline and I'm looking to move him

Re: MLB 14 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Making a playoff push with the Yankees and Cubs are like 15 games out of the playoffs too. I also want to find a replacement for Jeter down the line. Is this a somewhat fair trade? It seems to line up with the spreadsheet but i'm not really sure.

Yankees Send:
Bryan Mitchel (who has improved to about a 71 ovr)
Gary Sanchez
Slade Heathcott
Mason Williams

Cubs Send:
Starlin Castro
(Any random D potential guy just to throw in Mason Williams)

In game he is kinda iffy but could do worse I guess. His over .300 BA in real life is probably more so a result of short term variance (< 100 AB) than a reflection of true ability. Not saying he couldn't have a good bat, but he probably won't be hitting over .300 consistently. Coming off the bench he is real nice to have- although not sure given his price tag in real life. (Unsure about contract in game but I don't see it as much of a consequence given how fast budget increases in PS3.)

What are Castro's stats?


Guys, what would be a good trade to land Cahill? Got DFA'd IRL, so figured land him as a project piece. Stats: 1.80 ERA, 15ks, 3.400 DIPS, 20 IP at the deadline.

He's hitting about .240 but not too many RBI as the Cubs as a whole are struggling to drive in many runs.

20 IP is small sample size, and if we are going off of this season a high C sounds like a fair price to land him. With spreadsheet and in-game I would go down a bit from his B + C price, more like two high C's or one low B.
