MLB 14 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Re: MLB 14 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Just got around to reading the replies to me trading Trout, and thanks for the laughs, but I think I'm gonna trade him to the Cards for Wacha, Siegrist, and either Oscar Taveras or Kolten Wong. Some of you suggested that I could get more players for him, but the game only allows you to trade 3 people. How would I get more players for him?

Put forced trades on (or edit the players you want down to 0's before returning them back after the trade) and make a second trade for your worst player in Single or Double A for the other players you want.

So:
Cardinals Get: Mike Trout
Angels Get: Wacha, Siegrist, Taveras

2nd Trade
Cardinals Get: Worst player from Single A
Angels Get: Wong, Piscotty, Kaminsky (or whoever you want to put there)

Force trades or 30 team control. Instead of Siegrist you could get Rosenthal

Trade them for the worst player in your organization with D potential

Got it. The 2nd trade I'm making would be Wong, Piscotty, and Marco Gonzalez, but do you think I could get Rosenthal as well if I throw in a SP or RP? Or get Rosenthal if I don't take one of the 3 I listed?

Edit: Also, would it be possible to get Bourjos back in the Trout trade, or am I pushing it?

Nationals trade Doug Fister to Reds for Brandon Phillips and Manny Parra

Nationals trade Manny Para and Brandon Phillips to Dodgers for Yasiel Puig

Got my boy! I don't need Lister, signed Johan Santana to a 2/$10M deal. Are there some good young bullpen pitchers that I should know about? I just bought the game.

AC Do you think the Braun to the Blue Jays trade you suggested last year still stands today? I think it was Braun for Nolin,Sanchez,Stroman + DJ Davis if I remember correctly. If so I will have to strongly consider this if I'm not in the hunt at the deadline.

Value wise? I'm sure you could get Rosenthal, and Alex Reyes instead or plus Gonzalez.
Realistically, if the Cardinals make this move they're in win now mode and are going to need their closer, so they'd probably want to keep Rosenthal and Martinez or else the bullpen would be an absolute mess. I still think you should include Reyes with Gonzalez, and Cooney or Lyons too if you want them. For Trout you could get about any Cardinals prospect not in the majors plus the guys you've already suggested.

Re: MLB 14 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Did you see my edit? I asked if I could get Bourjos back too? Aside from him, I'm also targeting Reyes, Martinez, and Lyons. In addition to everyone I've talked about already.

Re: MLB 14 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Similar to the Mike Trout to the Cardinals discussion that is going on...I am the Nationals and want depth so I'm looking to trade Strasburg to them. I also do not have any control over trades, the computer must accept them. Right now, the best deal that I can get for 3 players is Wacha, Rosenthal, and Martinez. Would this be fair? What else could I get? What position player would they trade?

Thanks for your help!

Might be able to get one more Low B type piece, but whatever deal you decide to do you can just lower the ratings of the guys on the Cards if the CPU won't accept it.

With Trout in center the Cardinals have relatively little need for him, so I don't see a problem with it, although in real life he might not like going back.

Could be a quality 4th OF

If I'm the Cardinals I counter offer with this:
Shelby Miller (A Potential higher that Wacha's in game)
Oscar Taveras (A Potential)
Alex Reyes (Low A Potential)
Wong/ Piscotty (Wong's a low B Piscotty a High B)
One or two of the lefty pitchers (Gonzalez, Kaminsky, Cooney, Lyons).

True, but I think they'd go with Grichuk or Jon Jay (Matheny seems to prefer Jay) and if Bourjos is desired, they'd be willing to send him back to make that happen.

Thats fair I just think Bourjos is much better defensively and would be a quality pinch runner
