Re: MLB 14 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

If you need a SP and Hudson isn't performing well I don't think you will be able to deal Hudson for another effective starter. The Sheet doesn't value him too highly, factor in his sub par performance and I can't see a scenario that works out.

Have you thought about calling up Bradley? How's he performing in the minors?

Yeah I'm considering bringing up Bradley and just DFA Hudson if I can't get anything for him.

Re: MLB 14 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

So I started to make some moves for the CPU teams as the trade deadline approaches. Three teams are in "Rebuild mode", the Phillies, Mets, and Marlins. Using the spreadsheet as my guide, I have down the following:

Marlins receive:
SP Cody Buckel
LF Nick Williams

Rangers receive:
RP Steve Cishek

Marlins receive:
SP Kyle Lobstein
RP Melvin Mercedes
C James McCann

Tigers receive:
RP Micheal Dunn
1B/OF Garrett Jones

Marlins receive:
2B Joey De Michele

White Sox receive:
SP Kevin Slowey



Mets receive:
1B Donald Lutz

Reds receive:
OF Chris Young


Mets receive:
CF Gorkys Hernandez
RP Zach Putnam

White Sox receive:
Dillon Gee

Thoughts? Suggestions?

I think Gee could fetch more

There's a B Catcher that I was willing to send them, but he's hurt. If they are rebuilding, it'd make no sense for them to take an aging Alexei Ramirez. Semien I would've done, but he is C player. Micah Johnson seemed like too much to give them. Lets keep in mind Gee is on a cold streak with a 5-10 record and a 4.22 ERA. If its a cheap deal, ill simply return him back to the Mets. My other thought was to send them 3B Matt Davidson.

Also, the Mets get 2 offers a day from other CPU teams for David Wright, its usually from the Angels, Blue Jays, and Yankees. Should I step in and let him to one of those teams?

Even with those numbers Hernandez and Putnam have almost no value. It may not work for the White Sox. Maybe Carlos Sanchez+ a low level pitcher?

The Angels and Yankees probably make the most sense. The Jays arent bad but I think they are pursuing more of a frontline guy.

Sorry, for the Mets, I forgot to mention those deals always include teams trying to acquire David Wright.

What about Carlos Sanchez added to those those two players I sent them? Is that fair and realistic? I would like to get Cliff Lee out of Philadelphia, but a broken arm will prevent that. I would like to get Dom Brown and Jimmy Rollins to contenders as well. Baltimore is 15.5 GB and I was also thinking of moving Nelson Cruz too, perhaps to Cleveland or Seattle?

Re: MLB 14 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Need some advice in my Blue Jays franchise.
I'm using OSFM Opening Day v2.

Currently im the middle of June and looking to close the gap between the AL East leading Yankees and I. The jays are 38-37, and 6 GB of the Yanks who are 43-30. The jays are also 3.5 GB of the 2nd WC spot.
Im looking to move Brandon Morrow, who has been terrible to say the least. He's 4-9, with a 5.50 ERA. He just isn't cutting it, I put him in the bullpen and results were still the same.
As to what I'm looking for, either a 2B or someone to bolster my pen.
Ryan Goins was the starting 2B, but at the end of May he was hitting a mere .178, and was continuously struggling. I called up Jonathan Diaz, and gave Maicer Izturis the 2B role. He's been good, batting .231, with 5 HR and 49 H, but he isn't my long term solution.
Could also use bullpen help, but that's only if I can't find a 2B.

Any suggestions?
Teams that seem they are out of contention already are CWS, DET, MIN, COL. All are at least 10 GB of 2nd WC spot.

Rutledge or LeMahieu from Colorado?

Re: MLB 14 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Ive officially made it to the trade deadline. Ill have to halt as want to gather as much feedback as possible before doing trades.

The CPU Dodgers offered the CPU Mets a deal for David Wright. On the surface it seems pretty fair.

Dodgers receive:
3B David Wright

Mets receive:
SP Julio Urias
3B Corey Seager
LF Joc Pederson

Ive also decided that ill be trading Nelson Cruz to the Angels and Jimmy Rollins to the Tigers. Any ideas for fair compensation?

Re: MLB 14 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

That might be a slight overpay, but are we considering D-Wright realistic now?

[Mikeyo918]

Re: MLB 14 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Rutledge or LeMahieu from Colorado?

Rutledge .262 5 HR 25 RBI, and is COL starter, 24 yrs old C POT
LeMahieu .268 0 HR 8 RBI in 131 ABs, 25 yrs old C POT

Also looked at Beckham and Dozier. Kinsler is out of my picture.
Beckham is batting .257 2 HR 14 RBI, 27 yrs old B POT
Dozier .259 9 HR 33 RBI, 26 yrs old C POT

I'm looking at Rutledge as my guy, but what does everyone suggest? I want to include Morrow in whatever trade is dealt.

I dont think he is but he should be. He is a bit to old to be a building block imo

I have a Rockies franchise, and I LOVE Rutledge. I started him in Triple-A (because I was copying Colorado's opening day roster), but after about 20 games I brought him up and he has been killing it. His stride is easy and his swing is smooth. In 5 games for me, he's hitting .450+. Plus he's also a pretty solid defender.

I would definitely take him over Lamahieu... and probably Beckham too.

I'm a huge fan of Dozier too, but I've never played with him on the game.

So if you were to trade him to Toronto what would you want in return? Trying to make the fair trade.
