    Rodney had 15 saves and a 1.10 ERA for me, but he was regressing, and I wanted to get anything I could for him, before he totally died. Plus, it clears up $8MM in budget space, which I could use come trade deadline time. You guys think the trade is fair? A flame throwing RP prospect, and a SS prospect still 3-4 years away. And Tayl;or was only hitting .195 in AAA so I tossed him in the deal as well.
    I honestly don't see why you included Taylor. You overpaid. If the Tigers need a closer (they just dealt for Soria, so you can see what DET is willing to spend there), they would give you Rondon and Betancourt just for Rodney.

      Yeah but would Tiger fans really want Rodney back.

      Me personally I would think the Tigers would pass on that adventure.

      I do agree though you overpaid... Taylor has been pretty solid for me in AAA, only hitting .256 but has 18 SB's and he is #8 on the M's Top-10 prospect board. No reason to give up on him already. Could've moved him down to AA to get his grove back

      Granted Betancourt is #18 on the Tigers and 4 year younger and lucky for you no relation to Yuni (however Edgardo Alfonzo is his uncle).

        I forgot I also received a young OF in the deal as well. Francisco Martinez as well. So final trade:

        Mariners get:

        Rondon
        Martinez
        Betancourt

        Tigers get:

        Rodney
        Taylor

        I can't believe I forgot to mention Martinez. The Tigers were desperate, since Nathan is on the 60 day DL, and they have blown 4 straight saves without Nathan, and Rodney has been so good for me, it seemed kind of realistic they would pay that much.

        For Rodney's replacement I'm torn on 2 players, Medina or Carson Smith. Medina is 4-0, with a 0.00 ERA, 39 K's, 4 BB's, 0.65 WHIP in 23.1 innings, and Smith is 1-0, with a 2.97 ERA, 33 K's, 8 BB's, 1.09 WHIP in 18 innings. I kind of want to leave Medina in his current role, but he has just been so damn filthy.

            Cool. Maybe then I'll trade them Victor Zambrano for a young ace.

              Cards also acquired Yordano Ventura from KC earlier in the year. He's been really bad out of the pen, but unlikely to be traded twice in a month

                Whichever you like of Cooney or Gonzales + a very small piece.

                  Well Farquhar had 16 saves in real life last year, so he could be a option. You might also consider S. Pryor he throws heat, and Smith could be good. He had 35 saves for me in Tacoma in my Franchise, but when I brought him up I didn't really like he pitch's for the closer role.

                  I really wish that the M's would've never traded Capps for L. Morrison. He was my favorite RP to play with in 2013.

                    I haven't made it through the 1st season yet, and I was curious, since potential can change in RTTS, does it also change in franchise depending on how a player is doing?

                      Yes it can/will. I'm in 2018 and it's pretty cool to see how guys have progressed/regressed when it comes to Potential.

                        Dodgers gave me Corey Seager and Julio Burias for Hank Conger. I was a little reluctant to accept the deal but it was too good to reject.

                          Hmm. Why were you reluctant? Burias especially is a great piece.

                            I am just glad you didn't abuse the trade logic in acquiring Seager and Julio Burias. Pretty sure Ned Colletti would have to pull the trigger here IRL.

                              Would you guys accept trades like that in your franchise or let it go? I have let some pretty nice deals go because I thought the CPU was offering way too much.
