MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

Re: MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

Well, it was the only way to get the money to work out in the game.

Does Lagares make enough money? Also, I don't think you get all 3 players. I think you'd have to take your pick between those 2 RPs (which should create a bit more budget room).

Re: MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

Phillies also just got Alfaro who was a pretty highly touted catching prospect in his own rights. I'm not sure how to make the deal work quite right. IMO Velasquez> E-Rod and there's not a need for Swihart in Philly.

Okay that's fair. What about Julio Teheran? Or is his value considered too high. I'm not exactly as high on Teheran as others might be, but I still view him as an upgrade in game.

I'm not in my game but I believe he currently has around a 4.10 era or a little higher.

That's definitely a no for me then.

If I do end up finding a trade partner for Rodriguez and Swihart. What is the price tag on a serviceable rental catcher?

Someone like Wellington Castillo. Diamondbacks are 27-36, 12 games behind and at the bottom of the division.

Re: MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

I'm looking to trade Clay Buchholz. I know he has no value in real life but he's pitched ok in my franchise. His stats are a 4.34 ERA in 110 innings with 86 strikeouts to 21 walks. Does he have any value with those stats? I want to make room in my rotation and don't want him in the bullpen. The Tigers, Royals, and Cardinals are teams with winnings records looking for starters

Yeah, that's what I meant. The Mets get either Jeffress or Smith along with Braun.

This trade looks good but why wouldn't you go grab Cargo or Bruce ? With those guys you won't take on so much money down the line with trading for Braun, he just signed a massive 5 year 105 million dollar extension i don't think it will be smart to take on that much money

Buchholz irl is on the verge of losing his spot in the rotation. That probably speaks plenty about his value. I'm also using a BoSox franchise and outside of Price I use Buchholz as my workhorse. I pitch great with him. I think the Tigers might be a good fit. He'd be an upgrade to an absolutely horrific rotation. Would be a better option than Pelfrey/Greene/Boyd if Norris and Fulmer are still in the minors. Don't think you'd get more than a low C spect.

Buckles has lost his spot in the rotation...

I pitch great with Buchholz aswell. He's up to 85ovr atm on my chise with a perfect 6-0 and a 2.19 ERA

Re: MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

Ended my season 80-82. Just couldn't win down the stretch to make the playoffs. Now in the offseason I'm looking for some bullpen help ( that's where we fell apart late last season ) was looking at a few trades but needed some help from you guys.

Rays get

Yordano Ventura
Kelvin Herrera

Royals get

Matt Moore
Logan Forsythe
Casey Gillaspie or Taylor Guerrieri

If not these are the teams who need a second basemen Angels, Diamondbacks and the Dodgers.

Braun>CarGo>Bruce

19 million a year is a reasonable amount for Braun. He's preforming pretty well and the contract only takes him to age 36 which isn't terrible.

Re: MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

Ok guys I'm sorry if I did anything wrong before, but I'm hoping we can start fresh.
I'll provide some more info this time also.

So, in my chise, the D-Backs are in desperate help for a pitcher since 2 of their starters are injured for the long run.
Also, the Rockies are in kinda the same situation with their best pitcher being 74ovr. And the Braves pitching is awful aswell.

So my questions are:

- Braves: What are Freeman and Inciarte worth?
- D-Backs: AJ Pollock worth?
- Rockies: CarGo worth?

To start negotiations I'm willing to throw in Eduardo Rodriguez as a start for those trades. What else would be needed for those players?

Thanks

Pollock is the most valuable on that list. Think Moncada/Benintendi plus more. He's got massive surplus value.

Freeman alone starts with Devers, if you wanted both Freeman and Inciarte maybe a package around Devers and Espinoza plus a lottery ticket.

CarGo is the cheapest. He depends on how he's playing since he's so streaky.I'm sure the Rockies would have interest in E-Rod but I'm not sure if that deal matches up quite value-wise

Off the jump your gonna need to throw in some of your top prospects to not get hung up on by the Braves. Moncada, Benintendi, Devers, Travis, Espinoza, Ball or Kopech ( and some of the other guys that are better at this could say you may have to start with at least two of them to open up talks ) not in any kind of order.

Diamondbacks are hard because of what they just did with acquiring all this talent and pretty much giving up their prospects so I can't help you here.

** Cargo for Rodriguez + Travis ?

Again there are others in here much better then I am evaluating talent for trades.
