I don't know Matt Adams at Coors would be deadly.

Matt Adams is not very good and Morneau is currently killing it in Colorado.

Amaro thinks Cliff Lee for a free pizza is a good deal.

That's one expensive free pizza!

Re: MLB 14 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Realistically there is absolutely no package possible that would enable the Yankees to acquire Walker. The Yanks have a putrid farm system and their only players with high end trade value are Ellsbury and Tanaka. The Mariners had Pineda: they traded him to the Yankees.

Not to mention that the M's are probably done taking "high end prospect" catchers from NYY after Jesus Montero. Type his name into Google and three of the 4 most common words to follow his name are "fat" (#1) "weight" (#2) and "overweight" (#4).

LOL @ Montero.....poor guy

While unrealistic, what would it take for the Yankees to acquire Taijuan Walker? I was thinking Nova, Mason Williams, Gary Sanchez + another piece or two.

Eh no to Nova or Mason. They don't really need Gary. It would have to be Ellsbury that goes the other way. Don't think they'll be able to handle the budget hit.

I lost Brian Roberts for 3 months to injury. He was hitting .270ish and was doing what I needed from him.

I can't, and won't get the production back from Johnson or Ryan and Dean Anna isn't exactly the guy who will keep my team afloat. I don't mind continuing to rotate these guys but feel like I may need an every day player.

Anyone got names of people I should target? I don't mind parting with just about anyone outside of Tanaka. I can list stats if you need them also.

Thanks. I'll take a look at them and then toss out suggestions. I don't do 30 team but don't want to burn the CPU.

Don't know how you feel about Altuve but there was a trade posted back there somewhere Altuve for Nova + Mitchell

Re: MLB 14 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Well, I typically only make one trade per season, and I have narrowed down the four individuals I am targeting in my Rays Franchise:

OF - Jackie Bradley Jr.
OF - Ben Revere (talked about this before on this thread)
3B - Will Middlebrooks
SS - Didi Gregorius

I am always 100% for realism. Does anyone think the Rays have any ammunition in terms of prospects or players to get a trade done for any of these players? Would any of these players be traded to begin with (besides Revere)?

Discussed before a trade involving Revere for Odorizzi + OF (maybe Toles of Mahtook), and I might do that. Revere is a really limited player, as much as I like him: not a very good arm, takes awful angles on D, doesn't walk a whole lot, but still hits for a decent clip, but I think he would be a good 4th OF/spot starter in my Rays Franchise.

So, before I trade for Revere, I'd like to possibly take a stab at these other 3 first. Help needed!

im not sure about JBJ just yet (unless BOS is getting a major upgrade in another area) but the other 3 can be had for sure imo

Re: MLB 14 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Didi for:

Toles
Brett
Ciuffo (PTBNL)
Beckham
O'Conner (maybe)
Colome
Romero

One or two of those is fine. Like Colome + O'Conner, or Toles straight up, or Romero straight up, or Brett + Ciuffo. Something like that.

Re: MLB 14 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

One last question regarding my pending Cliff Lee to LAD deal. Should I undo the CPU trade where to Dodgers sent Ethier to LAA for Cowart and a reliever (Dane De La Rosa)? It's kinda inconsistent with what the Dodgers would be doing with Lee (buying), whereas Ethier was hitting pretty well, but not as good as Kemp and Puig. Crawford was struggling so he and Ethier kinda split at bats. I'm not sure whether to undo it because I guess I just thought the Dodgers might want a little salary relief, as crazy as that sounds...., by dealing Ethier to get ready for Lee.

Excellent, thanks 37 & AC.

Out of sheer curiosity, what do you guys think Middlebrooks could be had for? If I acquired him then I could give Longoria some more time at DH.

Could the Red Sox use someone like Jake McGee (+ prospects)? He is just relief, but he's having a pretty good season.

If I stick to trading just prospects, which ones would be a good fit?
