MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

Re: MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

I completely understand both of those. I know he's not worth much on the market, so I'll keep him and put him in the long relief spot hoping he can fill it well, similar to Scott Feldman in Houston.

And who knows, maybe he can rebuild some value in doing so? Or maybe he can do what the Cubs did with Cahill and Richard (to cite some other examples of bust SP turned solid RP) and come through in a RP role? You could get a decent prospect C - low B range if he puts together a solid couple of months and another team is desperate. Just the idea of dealing him (and for another SP no less!) when he's pitching his way to the minors doesn't seem appealing from a value or realism standpoint.

Devon Travis (85B), Kevin Pillar (76C) and a prospect to the Braves for Teheran?

Otherwise, what kind of prospect package can I get for Travis and Pillar? B+C for Travis and maybe a B for Pillar?

The braves are gonna want much younger talent, there in a complete rebuild. Why would they take a 27 year old that is at the best he'll ever be and a 25 year second baseball that's coming off an injury (irl) when Albies and Swanson are gonna be the 2nd basemen and short stop ?!

They can get much more for Teheran IMO

Well do you have any other suggestions on what I could get for Travis and Pillar? Not necessarily from the Braves but in general?

Harvey allowed only 1 hit and struck out 10 in his first game with my sox

That's why you sent JBJ, Moncada and Espinoza over to Queens. I've been doing great with JBJ hitting lead off. Moncada is tearing up the minors and I just put Espinoza in double A to start his rise.

Great trade so far.

Off the top of my head I can see

Blue Jays get

Josh Reddick
Sean Doolittle ( just signed a 5 year 10.5 million dollar deal = 2.1/year

Athletics get

Devon Travis
Kevin Pillar ( 2 years younger then Reddick )


The A's make an interesting trade partner because they always find a way to be rebuilding but field a good team that competes so I can see them pairing Devon Travis and Marcus Semien to sure up the middle infield and wouldn't mind getting two years younger with Pillar ( making league minimum with a few years of team control ). You get someone you can plug in that can rake in the right situation and back end help for piece of mind late in games. IMO this is the best trade I see.

Damn thanks! I like that trade. I will assess the FA market when I finish playoffs, but I think that is something I would be interested in. Looks like I may lose Encarnacion and/or Bautista. I will try and re-sign Bautista due to his strong playoffs thus far and because he is one of my fav. players, but may let EE walk. Reddick would be nice to plug into RF if that happens and move Bau to DH.

Thanks for the suggestion!

Re: MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

I wouldn't do that. Pillar = Reddick (but he'll decline a lot faster) in terms of skill and has WAY more team control, and Travis >>> Doolittle

This is a really weird trade you don't see often. I don't know, maybe if you included Osuna and Alford that would get you on your way to Carrasco, maybe Nola+something from Philly, something from Pittsburgh with Harrison to third and Kang to short, maybe Royals for, i dunno, Ventura+...

Pillar to Cleveland for Bauer is something I could see

Reddick will likely be a FA anyway (I am in the playoffs right now and he has 1 year left). I would love to have him to replace Bautista in RF though. Maybe Pillar+lessers for Reddick+something else if he doesn't hit the FA market?

I would LOVE to get Harrison, but I know I would have to pay a lot. I also like Ventura. I think I would rather stick to a mid-level deal rather than going for a big guy like Carrasco See the thing is, Travis is rated high and with good potential, but this season in my franchise he can't find his stroke (.254 with 5HR and 21RBI in 326 AB's). Zach Walters who is rated only 68 was on a tear and has replaced him. Again, in the first round of the playoffs, Travis went 1/11 and Walters 5/13, so I am platooning them with Travis only hitting LHP.

Pillar has been alright. He had two hot months to start the year and then fell off. He had a respectable .266 with 5HR, 20RBI and 14SB (458 AB's). I have Dwight Smith, and Anthony Alford coming up who both impressed in AAA and I would love to re-sign Charlie Blackmon. I could always just use Pillar as a platoon/4th OF/Defensive sub depending on how FA goes and if I can't find a trade partner.

Travis is my main priority to trade. I would happily accept prospects in return or some power to replace EE when he leaves. What could I get in return for him. Pillar I could add for a better player/prospect package or I could deal him individually to another team or keep him as mentioned above.

OR I could deal Travis for something and then deal Pillar for Bauer or in a deal for Reddick?

Do you see any fits for Travis? What would be a good deal involving Pillar and Reddick? Need anymore info?

Re: MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

I started a new Franchise with the Twins. I have an online one going with the Orioles with my buddy. But back to the Twins, I am looking at upgrading my bullpen as well as getting a MLB capable catcher who under team control. My only catchers as of now are Kurt Suzuki and John Ryan Murphy. Any suggestions. I really want Mesoraco but I know it will take much to get him.

Well Mesoraco basically died, not sure if you saw the injury news. He's gone for a while.

Anyone here look good? I could see Perez or Gomes moving, Susac, or Austin Barnes from the Dodgers, all some solid options.

Re: MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

So the Mets put Juan Lagares on the block and I am seriously looking into snatching him. Prolly give up a B level prospect.

I'm curious myself, what Would Susac's value be?
