MLB 14 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Re: MLB 14 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

not really help but I don't think the O's move Wieters or Davis, even if they're out of it. Same with SF & Cain. I just don't see those guys moving realistically.

Yeah, those were three guys I wasn't really sure of.

[QUOTE =Jakesp.arrow1008;2046390797]WARNING: EXTREMELY LONG POST AHEAD

I'm at July 17 in my New York Mets franchise, and I'm looking to make some deals for the CPU teams. I want everything to be fair and realistic, so I'm looking for some


Thanks for the help![/QUOTE]

M. Wieters - CHW/SEA (expensive)
McHenry - TB
D. Murphy - TOR
JJ Hardy - DET
D. Span - BOS
D. Stubbs - TB
G. Floyd - CHW/CLE/MIN ...make them pay
D. Gee - TOR ...though he may get crushed in the AL East

As far as bullpen arms, unless it is a legit closer, I throw in a suitable arm to the buying team. Allows the seller to open a bullpen slot for the next kid wonder

Jesus Guzman 1B
........

DET

Joaquin Benoit RP

Tell me what you think. All trades were trying for both fairness and realism.

thanks to those how inspired or suggested some of the trades I made, keeps things interesting around trade deadline

trade 1: too much for Byrd.

trade 2: not enough for Lee, NYY doesn't have the prospects to make that deal.

trade 3: don't think the Royals do that, unless Guzman is playing very well. (What's the verdict on Starling guys? Do you see him as a mid C? Bc that's Guzman's value)

trade 4: assuming Travis is a B in game, it fits spreadsheet value. I wouldn't do it, but the Tigers might. I'd do two C's here instead. Even if the Tigers are desperate.

trade 5: please no

It kills me to say it because I'm a huge Bubba Starling fan but.... He's pretty much a lottery ticket at this point. He's hard to value because you still see these flashes of greatness. For instance, one day, he'll hit an opposite field grand slam 475 feet then the next day he'll whiff 5 times. He's still young enough that he can figure it out and there's still some hope he can be a star but it's quickly fading every time he takes the field.

For me, its completely circumstantial if the Royals trade him or not. I can't ever realistically see them trading Bubba Starling for a AAAA player or a career minor leaguer. The only way they move him is if he's part of a bigger trade. The Royals confidence in him is through the roof for whatever reason. The Royals would absolutely have to be blown away to move him...

For value sake though, I would have to say he's a high to mid C.

Also, I can't ever see the Royals doing a trade for Jesus Guzman unless Hosmer or Butler are out for extended periods of time... They already have plenty of bench players, in fact so many that they are rotating them through the 40 man roster. It makes little sense to trade someone like Starling in exchange for a marginal talent like Guzman. All that trade does is just take away another roster spot and create more headaches.

Re: MLB 14 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Thank you for those who posted ideas for my Franchise trade deadline. Really like the suggestions.

As far as the person who posted the M's giving up Maurer, Franklin and Romero for Byrd, As a M's fan I would be really upset if we had to give up that much for Byrd.

I would be okay with Maurer and maybe a lesser OF like Morban, Blash, or Avery, but why give up a RHB OF bat to get a RHB OF bat and well Franklin lost his job to Cano, he still has way more value then to go in a package for someone like Byrd.

Re: MLB 14 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Thanks for feedback I was in need of a nap lol I reloaded a prior save and went with these trades for my M's and who are gonna make a wild card run.


SEA:

Brandon Mauer SR/RP (C)
Tyler Marlette C (C)

PHI:

Marlon Byrd RF (C)

................

SEA:

David Price SP (A)

TB:

Taijaun Walker SP (A)
Nick Franklin 2B (B)
Tyler Pike SP (B)
Daniel Farquhar RP (C)
Chris Taylor SS (B)

Give's the Ms a legit rotation for challenging the A's and Angels. TB is out of it and needs to restock it's young talent which this would do. M's grab Byrd as a good right bat...

M's, Phillies, and Red Sox getting absolutely pilfered here. Other than that, no real issues.

I completely agree with 100% of your post. One of the issues is that I think it was NDAlum's Astros chise where he dealt Guzman (who in fairness was hitting well) for Starling, which has made it a thing. I didn't agree with the original deal, but now people are recycling it. Expect to see more like it. On the positive side, it shows that people are actively searching through the thread looking for ideas and precedent and not just asking the same exact question over and over, which is nice.

Re: MLB 14 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Im only 11 games in but ive played Franchise in the past and struggle hitting with him. Im thinking deal him to AL where he can DH as well. A right handed cf to start vs lefties would be nice. So Bryce straight up for Stanton you think is fair?

If it's only fairness you're after, then I have no issues with you doing that. It's 100% unrealistic to make this trade though...too early and WAS would never trade Harper so young.

Solid, not enough, solid but move Machado to shortstop, illegal by the CBA, not enough, not enough, solid, solid, solid, not enough, not enough, solid, respectively.

For the "not enough" ones, which side has to give up more?

Re: MLB 14 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

MIL gets: 1B Ike Davis
NYM gets: OF Randal Grichuk
STL gets: SP Johnny Hellweg

The Cardinals wouldn't do this, as Grichuk has played in the big leagues this year and Hellweg wouldn't even be one of our better pitching prospects if traded to us.

Maybe just a Brewers and Mets deal
NYM gets: Roache/ Haniger/ Taylor
MIL gets: Ike Davis

The Mets still get an outfield prospect and the Brewers still get Davis.

That last HR did it. Im KC. What do i give up to get Stanton?

Re: MLB 14 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

If you're serious, I'd recommend doing a search of the thread. Stanton is by far the most talked about player in this 500+ page thread. Trades to pretty much every team that could afford him have been hashed out already.
