    Honestly, they probably would have gotten less in November. I tend to think TB is smarter than the rest of us and they think they got quite a bit of a haul in return.

      The Price trade is close to being one of those notorious The Show CPU offers lol. I would have never guessed that that's all they get back. It's just so weird

        Nice post - makes a lot of sense.

        I have thought about doing a dynasty again - I don't know that I have time to do the posting (playing the games is "no problem" - could QC if forced and push came to shove) but the updating, photos, etc.

        Last year, it could take me up to 2-3 hrs to do a post. Not sure I could give that commitment again. I might consider it when I get to Year 2, though, if I can find a way to shorten the time cost.

        And Capps IS awesome - so I'm surprised the Marlins didn't trade him too *rolls eyes*

          I like following your posts in the Franchise thread. I think your updates are pretty cool and in depth.

            So I know in in the wrong forum for this but I trust you guys. It seems like my settings are off. I have a team era of 2.03 at the end of June. Seems too low. Next closest team is at 2.66. Every now and then the CPU goes off on me but usually I only give up a run or two. I have the contact at 6. The power at 6 clicks and the solid hits at 5. Ideas?

              In my franchise I'd like to duplicate the Cards-Red Sox trade from today but Corey Littrell isn't created on the Red Sox for the franchise I'm using. I don't know what his value is but is there another Red Sox with similar value I could pull here to make it somewhat even?

                It's not worth it, lol.

                  Under my trade I WOULD have a stipulation that all three would resign in hopes of a better deal.

                  I was also looking at possibly adding Lackey/Middlebrooks as part of the deal also if it would net a better package.
                  Ok so obviously the Red Sox made a few moves yesterday and shipped out Lester/Lackey& Miller. So if I still wanted to ship Koji to LAD with a guarantee to sign extension what could I get back in return now. Would be willing to add some pieces to get back higher value.

                    Probably not much from the Dodgers. I'd look elsewhere.

                      Re: MLB 14 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

                      I have a question for the sake of realism within a franchise mode that is almost to All Star Break.

                      First, here is the setup....

                      I am using the Indians and I am leading the AL Central around 6.5 games up on the Royals. There are quite a few surprising teams struggling (the Tigers are 16 games below .500, for example).

                      Other teams are in fire sale mode (The Yankees have had Sabathia, A-Rod and others on the trading block).

                      The Question
                      Does it 'violate' the idea of realism if the track of the Franchise Mode dictates that some teams might be 'buyers' or 'sellers' when their real life counter-parts are not?

                        Your franchise is it's own world so things are different. If the Rays are doing good, top of the division good, I don't see them trading Price. I didn't make them trade him in my Chise because they were contending, no like in real life

                          I'm not sure how the game does it, but it can't hurt to take a look for yourself at the team and the record it has.

                          I'll use the Red Sox for example. If they're winning and leading the division in your franchise, it would make sense for them to not sell off. It would be "realistic." They'd add, and push for the playoffs. If they're in the situation they're in now, they could make some moves like yesterday.

                          Realism is kind of subjective, honestly. Since your franchise could go in literally a million different directions, you gotta make that call yourself.

                            I feel the same way. Just wanted to get some feedback as the Yankees traded C.C. to the Cardinals for 1B Roberto Acevedo. I have already made a couple moves and didn't really want to talk about them if I was going to be crucified for it.

                              You should be fine, as long as you give a little info on what you're trying to accomplish with each trade. You know, like stats, how each team is doing and why you think the trade should be made. Just basic stuff like that and you shouldn't get crucified, lol.

                              The spreadsheet is a good tool to get some trades started, although it isn't gospel. There's a lot of factors that could change values. But, for what it's worth, the spreadsheet is very useful.
