MLB 14 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Re: MLB 14 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Going with a Cubs 'chise this year, love some of the pieces they have in the minors right now.

One of the first things to do is add in a young MLB ready pitcher, as well as another SP prospect and RP/CP prospect.

Being a Tiger fan....my first thought was Jeff Samardzija for Rick Porcello (I know...), Jonathon Crawford, and Cory Knebel. Is that undervaluing Samardzija?

Not looking for top of the line starter but someone young that can fill in the back end of the rotation.

Eh, Cubs don`t need Crawford. We have a plethora of infield prospects. Detroit isn`t a good match, I think the Jays are a lot better. I`m personally going to target RHP Marcus Stroman of the Jays for Samardzija later in my franchise.

Re: MLB 14 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Erlin is very expendable. Kelly, Fried, Cashner, Luebke, Kennedy, Johnson, Ross, Wisler are all available. Plus some others who are still better than Erlin.

Is Andrew Cashner ACTUALLY available? At what cost? Cause you can go ahead and name it, lol.

That's actually a solid starting point, I'm a huge Porcello fan. Maybe with an actual defense behind him his ERA will line up with his peripherals.

I think you need one more solid piece in there, though. Porcello + Crawford/Knebel/Thompson + another solid, valuable piece should get you Shark.

Re: MLB 14 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Alrighty guys, OSFM is getting closer and closer to dropping and i think instead of just waiting and playing with teams up until the middle trade months i am going to be doing spring training deals to enhance teams early on and help out the rebuilding teams a bit more...my trade candidates though were linked in trade scenarios or will be most likely dealt this season.

To Yankees:
Jeff Samardzija
James Russell

To Cubs:
Gary Sanchez
Manny Banuelos
Ian Clarkin

To Yankees:
Jean Machi

To Giants:
Ichiro

To Mariners:
Joc Pederson

To Dodgers:
Nick Franklin
(Seen something like this in here before)

To Marlins:
Will Middlebrooks

To Red Sox:
Asdrubal Cabrera
Justin Nicolino

To Indians:
Allen Webster
Bryce Brentz

All for the start of the season, but i also have questions on if Panda, Headley, Lowrie, and Cuddy are realistic trade options. And, feel free to pretty up my deals a bit, here for help nothing is ever set in stone

I think the Cubs would rather the best prospect in the deal be a pitcher.

To Yankees:
Jean Machi

To Giants:
Ichiro

That's fine.

To Mariners:
Joc Pederson

To Dodgers:
Nick Franklin
(Seen something like this in here before)

The full trade was:

Mariners: Colby Rasmus
Blue Jays: Joc Pederson
Dodgers: Nick Franklin

To Marlins:
Will Middlebrooks

To Red Sox:
Asdrubal Cabrera
Justin Nicolino

To Indians:
Allen Webster
Bryce Brentz

Yeah, this is probably fair.

Panda's realistic, Headley is realistic, Lowrie depends on how the A's are doing and how Addison Russell is doing, and Cuddyer is only realistic if the Rockies are way out of it.

Hmm, so maybe try another three way with the Yanks, D-Backs, Cubs or go into a D-Backs - Cubs deal? Another possibility is a Jays - Cubs deal.

The full trade was:

Mariners: Colby Rasmus
Blue Jays: Joc Pederson
Dodgers: Nick Franklin

I think i will do this one, thanks.

I will be back when it is that time of the year when trades are heating up with the weather

I don't know if the FO would do this, but as a Jays fan, I would do Aaron Sanchez, D.J. Davis and Moises Sierra for Samardzija.

Shark might be a deeper in the season trade candidate just so i have stats with him before i deal him off, but Jays, Yankees, and D-Backs are the top three teams he will most likely end up with.

Re: MLB 14 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

@AC:

Is there a "House Rules / Player Value" guide for trades in this title anywhere on the forums?

I like to do "Moneyball" rebuilds where I trade vets with expiring contracts for prospects, but it's kind of easy to exploit the AI doing that...

For example:

What should the typical A (B or C) prospect garner in trade?

What kind of OVR / vet(s) / other prospects / contracts make it worth it to that prospects current club?

Is it even possible to have "general guideline" overview?

Thanks!

It's being worked on! The spreadsheet will be out very soon, and it will show you (our opinion on) player values and who can garner who.

Not to speak for the guys actually working on it, but I'd give it a week at most.

AWESOME!

And:

Thanks for the quick reply...

Where will I / we be able to find it?

Will it be in this thread or a new one?

Perhaps a link here to the new one, etc?

VERY pleased to see this is in development, kudos!

if Texas were to part with Feliz/Moreland, what type of return could I get? (Looking for a DH role)

Feliz could probably nab you a bat from the Twins, White Sox, Orioles, Astros, Angels or Cubs. Anyone you like there?

Re: MLB 14 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Doing a franchise with my Cards when it drops for PS4. I wanna get rid of Garcia and Holliday for a catcher in the future, or outfield bat.

Plan is to bring Taveras in during mid season, and have Marco replace Garcia at some point the first two years.

[AC]

Re: MLB 14 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

What type of OF bat? Young or old? Power or speed/defense?

Something you could do would be Holliday to the Mets for OF Lagares, C Plawecki, and maybe SP Robert Whalen

Im just brainstorming here but it could work out

That's not enough for Matt Holliday.

Re: MLB 14 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

That's not enough for Matt Holliday.

From the Indians, do you think Asdrubal Cabrera, Lonnie Chisenhall, and Tyler Naquin would be enough to get Holliday?
