Re: MLB 14 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

-Guessing Marlins would be game to dealing Stanton when they finished with 69 wins (third last). Dunno what they'd do about Fernandez or Yelich though.

Well, I'd HOPE they'd keep all of them (assuming they are still strong in your franchise), but Stanton probably will get dealt sooner or later.

Granted, I'm playing my own Marlins franchise "unrealistically" since, you know, I'm dead set against trading any of them or most of my young hitting talent

I don't think the Rays would bite. Moore is an important piece to their rotation as well as Hellickson.

Nothing about the Marlins is strong, lol.

I'm pretty adamant that Pence will be traded, as will one of Hamels or Lee. Wright, Heyward, Latos and Stanton are maybes. One of the Cubs is likely, as is Cain.

Only one I'm stumped on is Posey. He signs a big deal with them, they're WS series contenders, he's MVP... then, his team goes down the drain, they win less than 70 games, lose 3+ of their best players, Cain is looking likely to be dealt and his power falls off. He's still locked into a massive deal but he's 27. I don't see what use he is to a rebuilding team. I really think he'll be dealt. But honestly, I don't know.

What do you guys think?

I have the same problem in my Franchise. In 2014, the Giants stayed in the hunt all the way until the last week then bombed out as the Dodgers and Padres won the W.C. and played each other with the winner taking on the Rockies who actually won the division. Peavy left and signed with the Rockies, but the Giants did manage to resign Panda but now this year with 2 weeks left in the deadline they have one of the worst records in the N.L. which is pretty bad when you consider the fact the Mets, Phillies, Marlins and Pirates are all having horrible years.

I agree with you that I don't see what value Cain brings to the team, but the fact the Giants are not really a small market club means they can afford to keep their upper tier players despite them losing. It's not like they are forced to sell off and rebuild.

Unless you know of a way to increase Miami's budget in the game, I don't see how they can afford to keep Stanton. He deserves a max contract (30 mil per) so I see him being dealt.

I think Lee goes before Hamels just because of age, but honesty think of Philly is going to do a full rebuild then both need to go, but really believe Dodgers are the best fit and they would have to get both Seager and Pederson plus probably either Lee/Anderson/Windle.

For the Cubs I even though Castro's contract is somewhat team friendly I still think he is the one that gets traded for pitching, but if not then I think Russell.

In my Franchise the they are currently playing Russell at 3B, Baez at 2B, Bryant in RF, Soler in LF and Alcantara/Almora in CF. Baez actually made the All-Star team.

I don't think Whitesox would deal Sale. Sorta like Seattle no way they ever deal Felix. I could see pretty much anyone else on the Sox going though except Rondon obviously.

New York doubt they move Harvey, but believe Wheeler, Montero, Niese ect could be dealt. Wright is tough. At least he is hitting in your franchise so he is worth the money he is getting. In mine he is currently hitting like .265 with single digit HR's. But the question is what team has the money to take him on. Braves? Yankees?

I am on the fence on moving Heyward in my Franchise. The Braves have money in their budget and the Upton brothers are doing nothing in my Franchise so it would make sense for them to resign him and build around him and Freeman, but maybe in your's they are getting production from other guy's in yours.

I think the Reds like the Cards have to move a SP and believe Cueto would be the least likely to go. Latos or Leake would likely bring a better return then Simon

Re: MLB 14 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

I'm planning ahead in my Tigers dynasty for the offseason. My untouchables are Crawford, Moya, and Castellanos.
I'm going after top prospects who could possibly be traded.

I'm considering these 3:

Mookie Betts (Now has to compete with JBJ and Rusney at CF)
Joc Pederson (LA is stacked with OFs)
Tyler Glasnow (Struggling badly comparing to Taillon/Kingham)

I'm also considering, but not sure:

Kohl Stewart (In division)
Rymer Liriano
Alen Hanson
Michael Taylor

My question is, who should I trade for any of these prospects listed and/or if these players is a realistic option?

Castillo will play RF in Boston with Cespedes in LF and JBJ/Betts in CF. Betts will only leave for a stud like Stanton and unless you're trading Miggy, I don't see him leaving for Motown.

The Dodgers were reluctant to give up Pederson in a Price deal at the deadline so he'd be hard to get. Unless parting with Miggy, Verlander or a sign-and-trade with Scherzer.

Glasnow? How did the Pirates finish the 2014 season? If they're rebuilding, are they really moving Glasnow? If contending, they could use a good shortstop like Iglesias. You'd probably have to add more besides Iglesias to get Glasnow but that could work. Or maybe Porcello straight up for Glasnow?

Stewart, Liriano, Hanson or Taylor are "easier" to get. Contending teams are more eager to send away prospects for MLB ready talent. Porcello comes to mind here as well.

Crossing Betts and Pederson off the list I guess.

Pirates are contending (End of September) so Glasnow is in my sights.

Robbie Ray+ back to Washington for Taylor?

Re: MLB 14 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

I'm in the offseason of 2014 in my cubs franchise. Do you think the tiger's would do a sign and trade with Scherzer to the cubs? If so, what would it take to get Scherzer in that deal? My untouchables are baez, bryant, rizzo, alcantara.
I am thinking about trying to get a power hitting outfielder. Lake played well and Soler played ok in september. Anyone you could think of that the cubs go after or do they stay put with the young kids coming up?

I asked this question a while back from the Tigers point of view.

Probably you'd have to give up Russell/Castro and one of Soler/Almora. Depends on how Scherzer did in 2014. If he had another Cy Young season then he'll be worth more

If the Pirates end 2014 on a high note and keep looking strong heading into 2015, Glasnow could be had to fill a hole in their everyday lineup/rotation.

How's Washington doing? Don't see Taylor being traded for prospect(s). More of a win now mode in DC with their strong rotation and crafty lineup. This is pure speculation off the top of my head but Taylor and Espinosa for Kinsler?

Re: MLB 14 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Michael A Taylor and Danny Espinosa for Ian Kinsler?

Awful deal for Detroit.

Re: MLB 14 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Only one I'm stumped on is Posey. He signs a big deal with them, they're WS series contenders, he's MVP... then, his team goes down the drain, they win less than 70 games, lose 3+ of their best players, Cain is looking likely to be dealt and his power falls off. He's still locked into a massive deal but he's 27. I don't see what use he is to a rebuilding team. I really think he'll be dealt. But honestly, I don't know.

That's a tough scenario.

If this was OOTP, I'd look at the popularity and if he's still a fan favorite and still has actual skills (just had a bad year, but he still has the tools to do what he's normally capable of), then I could see him staying or taking a very nice deal to get both for skill and that he'd greatly boost the receiving franchise's fan loyalty.

In this game, I'd think he'd be trade bait for something valuable but probably not a highest-end return. That said, if they have money room, I could see them just keep dangling him, looking for that perfect package like the game seems to do with Bethancourt - always on the block and never interested in any offers or ever actually traded lol

I think if maybe they got some near-ready excellent prospects, I think they'd bite the bullet and make the move. One excellent prospect and a couple good ones if Posey's actually slipped a notch. If he's really come apart, then I think a good prospect or two would do it, especially if he doesn't look like he's got a reasonable shot to live up to that contract.

Just my thoughts.

Re: MLB 14 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

There are teams that could offer really good packages. Me, the Cubs, the Pirates, lots of teams. I have some ideas.

If teams could offer adequate packages, do you guys think they'd do it?

[KBLover]

Re: MLB 14 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

I think they would at the minimum "listen to offers", so yeah I'd think they'd pull the trigger.
