Re: MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

See what other guys think but this should get you off on the right track.

New York Yankees Get: 3B/OF Joey Gallo, RHP Jonathan Hernandez and RHP Luis Ortiz

Texas Rangers Get: LHP Aroldis Chapman and C Brian McCann


Why It Makes Sense for New York

This deal, which brings the Yankees a pair of top-100 prospects in Gallo and Luis Ortiz, per MLB.com, works for them on multiple levels.

First, it would enable them to get younger. The team's top catching prospect, 23-year-old Gary Sanchez, has nothing left to prove in the minors and would get to take over behind the plate. Gallo, 22, whose left-handed swing looks tailor-made for Yankee Stadium, can split time with Chase Headley at third base if not replace him completely.
Ortiz, 20, has a higher ceiling than the 19-year-old Jonathan Hernandez, but both project to be solid mid-rotation arms, with Ortiz having the potential to become a good No. 2 starter in the big leagues.

Why It Makes Sense for Texas

For a contending team in a wide-open division (a wide-open league, for that matter) that needs a catcher and a closer, you can't do much better than McCann and Chapman.

Giving up Gallo and Ortiz stings, but the Rangers can afford to part with both. Gallo is blocked at third base by Adrian Beltre and in the outfield corners by a slew of players, while Texas still has high-upside pitching prospects like Dillon Tate, Chi Chi Gonzalez, Mike Matuella and Brett Martin in the system.


Last but not least Beltran is about worthless I think a few pages back someone said maybe he can pull in a mid to high C prospect and I don't see the Yankees trading all three back of the bullpen guys but Chapman will be the one to go IMO

Texas would never trade one, let alone two top 100 prospects for a rental (Chapman) and aging catcher. While Ortiz could potentially be traded, Gallo is going nowhere, unless the Rangers can get a MLB ready player, with a minimum of three years of team control, left.

Spending all that money in Texas and your saying that for them get two pieces that can help them win NOW and not in 3-5 years ?!? We need to cut out this never crap, we see trades happen IRL that are crazy !!!! Not saying that trading a bucket of balls is gonna get you a something good but *****

Does everyone forget the Mets traded R.A. Dickey the ultimate rental ( that ultimately signed an extension ) for Noah Syndergaard and Travis d’Arnaud both number 83 and 11 in the 2012 prospect watch list that's two in the top 100 so that they had the shot to win at that moment.

Just my mindset. No need to go back and forth to each his own

Re: MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

Harper and Stanton comps for a guy with 150 major league at-bats, really? I would have loved to see your views on Trevor Story during the first or second week of the season.

Nobody is guaranteed 10-15 years in the bigs, not even Trout and Harper. All it takes is one injury and you go from being a generational type of bat to a guy who has a mega-contract and can barely stay above the Mendoza line (look at Albert Pujols). Things happen in baseball, nothing is a guarantee. Nobody can say for sure how many years this guy is going to be productive, throwing something like that in here is just silly given the factors.

I'm not arguing against Mazara being a very solid major league player, he definitely has the tools to do that.. But comparing him to Stanton and Harper after 150 major league at-bats just doesn't sit well with me. I definitely think there's some recency bias going on.

That being said, I think if Shelby Miller can fetch Dansby Swanson + Aaron Blair + Ender Enciarte, Julio Teherán could be worth Mazara if he is pitching well.

Mazara isn't some sort of untouchable demigod. That's actually very far from the worst trade proposal I've seen in here and he's getting unnecessarily roasted.

Thank you! Thought i was losing my mind. A week or two ago Mazara was in trade proposals left and right and now he's Harper/Trout level. Pump the brakes a little guys.

I still don't get the love for Julio Teheran, at all.

Re: MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

It's not love, everyone has been trading him away. And it's ok if the ai goes for it right? On a completely unrelated note it's time to get Correa to the Mets for Logan Verrett....

Definitely a solid comparison dude. No hyperbole at all.

Man don't try to rip us off. Sano for Juan Lagares or nothing.

lol man Arcia would be a good swap would've been better if he was a right hand bat with all the lefty's we got but beggars can't be choosers

He's still young, a former top prospect. Hasn't fully wore off yet. It doesn't always equate to success, but you know how people are with their big time prospects.. (well, except BoSox fans)

There's really no need for snide comments like this. I'm all for discussion and trying to help when I see something I don't necessarily agree with, but what does this add to anything?

Run your franchise and move on man.. his trade doesn't take away from you personally, does it?

Re: MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

Would a package consisting of Soler, Montero and Dylan Cease be to much for Shields and Benthencourt? Hammel is out for year 8 games in and looking desperately for a replacement because I don't think I have anyone in house to carry the 5 spot. Or do I roll with what I have "rotating Peirce Johnson and Clayton Richard", until Im further along in season? Brought P Johnson up as I said and he came in extra innings in the 12th inning against Cincinnati and got manhandled. So my confidence with him is already shaky. Using Hybrid roster. Any advice is great. Along with Hammel I've also lost Russell 60 days to broken shin and Schwarber out year just for a side of realism...Tuff start lol.
