    Would you guys take Taijuan Walker for Bryce Harper straight up?

      I wouldn't. Walker hasn't proven anything in the majors and there are some questions there.

        But Upton and Heyward aren't comparable to Freeman. Upton and Heyward were entering their walk year and the Braves had little chance of resigning them once they hit the open market. Based on where they were as a franchise at that point, it made little sense for the Braves to keep them when they could get young and more controllable assets back.

        On the other hand, you have Freeman who is a young controllable superstar. When Atlanta signed him, they made it very clear that Freeman was going to succeed Chipper Jones as the face of the franchise. Freeman means much more to the Braves beyond his stats. Therefore, it makes little sense from a baseball standpoint and a franchise standpoint to trade Freeman.



        I've heard that sound 3 times... once was Babe Ruth, the second was Josh Gibson, and the third was Bo Jackson- Buck O'Neil

          Guys, I am sorry I thought we were discussing the in game trades of your current franchise. In real life Freeman has a 150-185 million contract for the next 7 years. And He is my guy, but he is not proven capable of carrying a team on his back...

          But in the Show his 8 year contract is very low in dollars per year. I am hoping that they change that real soon.

            I'm the Padres. You're telling me the Braves would not accept a deal for Wil Myers, Wisler and Cashner?

            That deal would actually benefit me too. I need a 1B because I need to replace Alonso, I have Rhymer Liriano/Hedges to fill Myers spot, and tons of pitching depth to replace Cashner. Keep in mind Wisler is at 95 potential now, Myers is 92, and Cashner is 93

            Just an example, there are plenty of ways teams can acquire him.

              You should also throw in Renfroe and Lindsey. And maybe they would take it. Because as royals19 stated he is going to be the next face of the Braves. So a deal that could work in MLB 14/15 would be Myers, Renfroe, Lindsey, Cashner, Wisler for Freeman and a minor leaguer with little upside. That seems fair in my mind.

                come one. You can't be serious. If I offered them Cashner, Myers, Wisler, Renfroe and Lindsey they would jump on that in a heart beat. Not a "maybe."

                It's been said in this thread that I could get Sale for basically the same exact deal. Sale and Freeman are not equally hard to get.

                  I am also considering the fact that the Braves would NOT move Freeman for any deal.

                      Would the Yankees trade Jeter? Would the Red Sox trade Ortiz? What about Stanton or Fernandez on the Marlins? Don't give me that bull.

                        Freeman is nowhere even close to Jeter and Ortiz. Jeter and Ortiz are career legends. If you go up to a random person in New York and ask who Derek Jeter is they will know. If you do the same with Freeman in Atlanta, probably not.

                        You cannot compare those.

                        Stanton I could see being traded for the right deal. Fernandez as well if they got a good enough deal but it would be hard.

                          OK I will give Ortiz and Jeter. And I doubt the Marlins screw up again and trade off the face of their franchise again, when the public is paying north of $2 BILLION for that stadium. Also Freeman and Jeter have comparable stats through their first 4 full seasons in baseball. I just wanted to point that one out to.

                            That's a formidable proposal, honestly.

                              Jeter's stats aren't the reason he wasn't traded. Freeman is good, but lets not get ahead of ourselves. He only batted .288 and had 18 HRs. He didn't bat .330 with 40 HRs. He's a very good young player but he most certainly isn't untouchable.

                                Freddie Freeman is 25 and one of the best hitters in the game. According to Fangraphs he's the 24th most valuable player in the game. If his contract is even smaller in The Show, there's no way his value isn't top 20 at worst. Only way I can see him being dealt is a massive overpay.
