That's a formidable proposal, honestly.

Exactly. This is why I said I think they will trade him for the right players. I doubt they would turn that down. Now personally I wouldn't do that if I was the Padres because I think I could land a better player than him. But there are plenty of teams that could put together a trade for him.

Debatable. Not that many teams have the wealth of prospects and controllable players that the Padres have. Also, those teams aren't exactly keen to trade all of their best prospects and controllable assets for one player.

Re: MLB 14 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

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 think if AJ Preller called John Hart and made that offer, Hart would have Freeman on a plane to San Diego before they hung up the phone.

In all fairness, the reason I could see this is because I think you're getting ripped. So it's less of a "right players" thing and more of an "overpay" thing. I can't support giving up all of your premium assets like that.

But obviously, any player could be traded if the other side overpaid by enough.

It would be insanity not to take that offer for Freeman if you're high on Myers. Insanity.

So Walker+ for Harper? What about for Wil Myers straight up for Walker? If Myers was still on the Rays in the offseason after year 1

I think you're grossly underestimating Bryce's value

I think it's got to be Walker, Peterson and Gareth Morgan and maybe another 10-20 prospect.

That's around what two years of Justin Upton nearly went for. This is Bryce Harper.

I believe there was rumors of a Walker/Harper deal. It probably was Walker+. What about Myers?

So Walker, Alex Jackson, Peterson and a 5-10 guy and a 10-15 guy.

Re: MLB 14 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

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.

Disagree with that. Not sure what you mean by best, but I would not call him the best. To me the best hitters in the game are Tulo, Miggy, Trout etc.

Debatable. Not that many teams have the wealth of prospects and controllable players that the Padres have. Also, those teams aren't exactly keen to trade all of their best prospects and controllable assets for one player.

That isn't your decision to make. In franchise mode we are all our own GMs and we determine that. And of course not any team can trade for every player, but it is silly not to say Freeman cannot be had.

I am getting ripped, hence why I said I wouldn't do it because I could get a much better player. For a little bit more I can land Chris Sale who I think is much more valuable than Freeman.

My point in all this is that it bugs me when people say "oh that player cannot be traded for under any circumstance." With the trade I proposed I would be overpaying, but it would make my team much better.

IRL I would rank Freeman as top 25 for his 2013 season.
But based on his 2014 output he would be hard pressed to make the top 90.
But his REAL value is incalculable, for what he brings to a clubhouse, cannot be measured.
I wish the Show would incorporate team chemistry into the game. Somehow.

I doubt there were such rumors. Link?

Not happening.

There aren't 25 better hitters than Freeman is what I mean.

It's not that there's no circumstance in which they could be traded for. It's that there's no circumstance in which a trade would make sense.
