That's true. Yu, Holland, Harrison, Martinez, Tepesch, Saunders, Lewis, Scheppers, Ross.

My point exactly. The Rangers don't match up well for a deal here unless Moran is included. No true need for SP's and if you include Ozuna, not logical to add Marisnick or someone similar to the deal as well.

Re: MLB 14 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

So I am about 25 Games into my dodgers chise. Kemp is doing pretty good .300 Avg 3 Hrs 11 Rbi's. Same with Either .285 Avg 3Hrs 10 RBI. Puig is Puig .385 2Hrs 13 Rbi's. Crawford is the odd man out. He has been hitting decent as a pinch hitter. Usually my go to guy against righties when I take out a pitcher. But I could use some pen help. Any suggestions?

I would hold off, the season is still very young.

Re: MLB 14 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

If you're only coming to the end of, and not even actually at the end of, the first month, trading simply shouldn't happen imo. Teams just aren't certain enough in player statistics, as they haven't stabilized yet.

Sign the FA to a 1 year, 3 million deal. If you bump up the salary enough they accept for a year.

Thanks AC ... I felt this way also, but I did not realize that you could get the FA to sign 1 yr deals... I am going to go that route ...

I will be back with more musings as trades start popping up in transactions, and certainly as I approach the deadline...

Just really felt like a moved needed to be made to keep Team B competitive...
Thanks again!

Re: MLB 14 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

I'm usually wanting to wait. My problem is when I have short outings by the starters it kills the pen. And the dodgers aren't exactly stacked with pen talent

You wanna tell us who the players/teams are now?

I'm guessing the player in question is Grady Sizemore.

Thanks to all for the feedback.

Is there any chance on a trade centered around a Sardinas for Ozuna swap, with other pieces included? But, before that, are we sure the Rangers starters are not worth being upgraded?

They've had quite a few really struggle (Ross, Lewis, Scheppers), and some pretty big injuries (Martin Perez - out until mid-2015 + Harrison is a huge question mark at this point. Holland as well, but he should be back soon).

(Just trying to play "devil's advocate", as I really like Elvis and think he would be a great fit. But, I really like hearing feedback from the others, as it makes me feel like I am having a conversation with personnel from the other club, haha.)

Sizemore was hit with the 3-month injury, and I was planning on moving Dexter Fowler from Houston to Boston as they will not win this season anyway ... I don't see Dexter as a part of their future personally anyway ...

I settled on signing Franklin Gutierrez to a 1-yr, 2 mill deal to platoon in the outfield with Ryan Roberts ... We will see if Boston continue to play well over next 2-3 months ...

Re: MLB 14 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Anyone know what kind of package I can get for Jason Hammel, Francisco Cervelli, and Didi Gregorius (Brendan Ryan accepted the QO after I traded away John Ryan Murphy. D'oh!) ? In my chise, it's the 2014 offseason and there were virtually no trades the previous year so all the rosters are mostly the same besides the FAs from last year switching teams.

I currently play with the Yankees in my chise. I'd like to get a solid 1B/SP prospect combo in return as Teix (age 35) is on borrowed time at 1B.

Re: MLB 14 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

CarGo, Cuddyer, Ethier, Dom Brown, Viciedo, Trumbo

Well I'm pretty unwilling to give up castro, baez, or bryant but I have some pretty strong B rated arms I'd include in the right deal. While cuddyer certain can fill the role of the middle of the lineup guy, I'd probably overpay just a bit for someone with more than a couple years left in the tank.

So if I were to package something like, samardzija, soler (22 yo B pot OF), almora (19 yo B pot OF), hendrinks (24 yo B pot SP), Corey black (22 yo B pot SP), and dillon maples (21 yo B pot Sp), would that be a fair deal for a top tier guy like CarGo or Stanton or should I set my sights a little lower and go after someone like Trumbo considering I don't want to give up my A pot guys?

Stanton would require High A, Low A, Low A, High B and Mid B. So no on that one.
Cargo would need Mid A, Low A, High B and Low B. No on that one.
Trumbo would be a Mid B and High C. You could definitely do that one though.

Re: MLB 14 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

P.S. I'd also co sider Volgelbach, Lake, and Villanueva as trade assets and they are all B specs as well.

Re: MLB 14 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

One other deal I was possibly looking at was Cespedes from the A's. I think I may have to give up Castro from this one but as Cespedes is one of my favorite players id maybe do it. They already have an A pot SS prospect but he can also play 3rd and they could move Donaldson via trade when Russell is ready to get called up. I also feel however that a small ballpark like wrigley could be a waste of Yoenis' great range and arm strength especially since I'd have to give up way more to get him and Trumbo could theortically put up big number at Wrigley for a much softer asking price. What's the smarter way to go here?

Re: MLB 14 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

New to the thread. I dont do 30 team control though

But I do have a Marlins franchise (with OSFM v2) in 2015 and just starting a Mariners franchise (OSFM v3 w/ pitch edits) today.


I'll be back with questions.

Oh! And I downloaded the excel spreadsheet. Thanks for that guys!

Re: MLB 14 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Briefly mentioned this before, but I'm about a week away from finishing up the 2014 season and I'm looking to move Dom Brown in the offseason. He's currently hitting around .250 with 28 HR and 63 RBI. I'm hoping to resign him for a year and not long term so it will be easier to move him in the offseason. What kind of return do you guys think I can get for him? I want to try and establish some sort of trade now and see where it goes in the offseason. Thanks!
