Re: MLB 14 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Sorry for the double post.

Padres fans, what do you think Chase Headley is worth? He's a rental and I'd be willing to deal Dickey for him and a prospect. Nobody else seems willing to deal for him and I'd like to get him as part of a trade for another guy I like too.

Well probably not Dickey since the Padres need younger starters.

If it's the beginning of the season probably less, if it's near the all star break and he's playing well then probably a lot.

Last year they were talking about trading Headley to the Dodgers for Joc Pederson and Withrow.

Ok thanks, Castro is probably the player I want most other than cespedes so it's good to here that one works well

Any ideas on how to make some of the other trades work though?

The Brantley deal is the only one on there I can't see happening, they just signed him to an extension this offseason.

For the Lowrie deal, I say throw in Tejada so they can have a filler at SS until Russell is ready.

Same goes for the O's trade, throw Tejada in that deal & it's not bad so they can have a temporary replacement at SS.

With the Cespedes deal, that's a hard one to work out realistically.

I doubt SD takes Dickey, but how about Ricky Romero & a top 10 prospect in the TOR organization. Not Stroman or Sanchez or Davis, that'll be a ridiculous overpay on your side. Anyone else is fine though I think

Ricky Romero has negative value.

As I have it now, it's Headley and Wisler for Dickey, Cecil and Davis. I'm basically trying to trade Davis and Cecil and a bit of projected surplus from Dickey for Headley and the rest of the projected surplus from Dickey for Wisler. I'm trying to get Dickey to Petco so he can rebuild his value in a great environment and the Padres can pawn him off for a HUGE return. I like how the trade is atm. Headley's value is diminished as a rental imo, especially because the trade isn't contingent on an extension.

Right on Romero, but maybe they're willing to take a chance on him & you can keep Cecil it's a low risk/high reward kinda situation if it pans out. How many years left on Dickey's contract? If he doesn't retire after the first season in The Show is another issue due to age

3 years, I think. Dickey isn't retiring for a while. I'd rather give up Cecil than rip them off by throwing Romero at them. He's making $7.5m. That's at the best case scenario lighting $7.5m on fire, if not more.

Also, do you guys think Holland, Alfaro, Gallo and Hanson is okay for Bautista? Mid A, Low A, High B is the value, and I don't think I'm getting more than two high B's, a mid B and a mid C with this.

Oh right, I forgot about the money on Romero, Nvm Lol & yea Dickey won't retire in real life, but I wonder how long he'll last in The Show cause players 40+ don't tend to play more than a year or 2 in previous games. Looking at that original deal now, I think it's a pretty good deal but you should throw in another young arm just in case Dickey bolts after the first season.

& that Texas trade is really good, Im on the fence with whether or not they'll give up Alfaro. Then again, Texas REALLY wants a RH power hitter so they might be willing to overpay more. Nonetheless, I like that deal too

SD would never do that. Trading away their number one trade chip, their top pitching prospect who is projected to come up this year and be a minor ace/solid number 2 for an aged pitcher who they wont want, Davis who would be a platoon player and Cecil is decent.

To be honest if I was SD I wouldn't even trade just Wisler for those 3 you mentioned, let alone Headley too. Dickey is too old and they already have a crowded pitching rotation. Kennedy, Luebke, Cashner, Ross, Erlin, Johnson and Wisler. Dickey doesn't really help them rebuild at all.

I don't think so. The Royals are trying to rebuild and Bautista is getting up there in age and Holland is their closer for years to come.

Davis isn't a platoon player? Lol he's a very good outfield prospect. You might be thinking Rajai. D.J. Davis is a very good trade chip. Of course, I'd be willing to throw in more, but I want to get that cleared up.

Ah gotcha. Ignore me then, misread that. I don't know the names of those other players so I figured it was for Greg Holland. My apologies.

Oh ok gotcha that makes more sense but they won't be trading Wisler. For Headley you could snag him for like 2 mid Bs.

If they trade Headley it will be for more prospects, maybe a SP or a RF.

Davis and a mid B or low B SP would work well.

You sure they won't trade Wisler? He's the guy I really want.

Yea Wisler is highly regarded. Maybe add Brandon Morrow? Thoughts?
