MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

Re: MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

There's so many pages here, and I could have sworn there was a way of searching the thread for specifics, but I can't find it for the life of me. Oh well. So I guess I'll just have to ask
Playing a franchise as the Yankees, and we are not playing well. Nearing the All-Star Break/Trade Deadline, and we are 12 games back in the division, fourth in the division, and 8 games back in the wild card race. In other words, I'm considering this season a write-off, nd looking to sell off some of the veteran players.

The only ones for sure I'm looking to trade are Sabathia, Texiara, and Beltran. Now I know because of their contracts it's almost impossible, but I'm basically just looking to get anything since I have no desire to re-sign them at the end of the season. What are some possible destinations and packages I could get for those three?

If it's any help for a semblance of realism/fairness, here are their stat lines:
Sabathia: 4-2 3.24 ERA 1.27 WHIP 5.4 K/9 (mostly out of the bullpen with a couple spot starts)
Texiara: .272/.469/.610 13 HR 47 RBI
Beltran: .303/.512/.647 10 HR 42 RBI

And if there's any possible trades (which I highly doubt) for McCann, Ellsbury, or Gardner, give me some ideas. I'm basically up for trading any and all veterans to start a rebuild/retool for the coming seasons, though I'm not expecting much.

Beltran and Teixeira having those kind of seasons could fetch a low B/high C level starting not so much prospect (25-ish year old) with high velocity or another high attribute imo. I used Eovaldi to the Yankees as a reference with Beltran being a better hitting but way older Prado. You might have to add someone else to get someone like Bauer from the Indians depending on how their season is in your franchise. They're both half season rentals with high salaries so the team buying would have to be a contender with cap room or a contract they're looking to send the other way for a discount on a prospect.

If the main contributors to the player value evaluations could critique me on my understanding of it that'd be dope. I don't want to be out here giving people ridiculous *** trade ideas haha

In all of those trades due to their salaries, you would probably have to take some bad contract back to even money out a little bit. In my Red Sox chise, I traded Sandoval (17.4 Mil) to Angels for CJ Wilson (15.59 Mil). I had to take a bad contract back to offset the salary going to Angels, but i still made out in that trade as Wilson is in final year and Sandoval has 4 years left.

I was thinking it would have to be players somewhere between 24 27 years old, which is fine. Still injecting a bit of youth into the club. And the low B/high c sounds about right, though I had expected more around a couple mid-c prospects.

In actuality, Cleveland was one of the spots I was looking at for Beltran. It's between Cleveland and KC for him. The AL Central is a three-team race between Cleveland, KC, and Minnesota in my franchise. But I was looking at KC since it's a manageable contract (4.9 million), he played in KC before, and with an injury to Gordon (out for the year), Beltran could be the bat needed to run away with the division.

I do like the idea of Bauer though. I may have to look into that. Cleveland has Santana out for the season with a torn Achilles, so Texiara makes sense there, but his contract makes that impossible. Hmm, some ideas at least

Re: MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

Last year there was no comparison lol

I feel like people really overrate Gray in this thread

None of Beltran, Tex or Sabathia would get Bauer though. They would want a young bat in return.

Re: MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

What would a deal for Kelvin Herrera look like, Royals currently 26-59 on the season while Herrera has a 1-1 record with 4.32 ERA.

Also what would be the values of these relievers, looking to upgrade redsox bullpen

RP Dominic Leone 3-3 3.70 ERA 41Ks 20 BBs
RP Carter Capps 4-1, 3.47 ERA 46Ks 6 BBs
RP Corey Knebel 0-3, 2.35 ERA 43Ks 18 BBs
RP Andrew Chafin 2-0 2.87 ERA 39Ks 29 BBs
RP Tony Watson 2-1 2.36 ERA 42Ks 15 BBs (Pirates currently 23 games under .500 and are 30 games back of the cubs and is a FA at end of season)

Well last year he was really good, and is hot trash this year. But he has good ratings in game because of last year. Plus we're comparing him to Bauer who has never been good.

Re: MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

Gray has consistently outperformed his peripheral statistics when it comes to his earned run average and winning games. In that regard I think he's a tad overrated, and it's catching up with him this year. He's definitely not an ace right now (I say that because who knows, he could develop into one).

He's still a young and cost controlled starting pitcher who has shown success, and that definitely has value on the market. Shelby Miller deal aside, those guys still command a pretty good haul.

I'd put Sonny Gray in a category similar to Julio Teheran, but probably a little higher given the circumstances.

Rio Ruiz, Braxton Davidson, Sean Newcomb for Gray to Atlanta?

I like this trade. I don't think it really makes sense for the Braves unless they are somehow contending, but I think its a pretty fair deal

About to start year 3 now. Zach Wheeler is my #1 as of now. My team is right where I want it to be to finally contend and need that ace type guy. Drafted a stud at 3B in year one so Ruiz is available.

Re: MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

In more news related to my Yankees questions, I offered a trade of Mark Texiara, and used the suggested trades feature to check out some ideas. One came back that intrigued me from the Angels. I would trade them Texiara, and in return would receive C.J. Wilson, LHP Tyler Deloach, and RHP Nate Hyatt. The key for me is Deloach and Hyatt as I would imagine Wilson simply as a throw-in for "cash considerations" to make the deal go through. The other possibility is taking Jered Weaver for "cash considerations" to make the deal go through.

Both are 25 years old. There's no data for Hyatt since he's in A-ball, but Deloach seems like he could be a decent starter. He's 3-1 in 64.2 innings pitched with a 3.90 ERA, 1.45 WHIP, 6.12 K/9, 3.2 BB/9, and a 3.57 FIP. I'm not too thrilled with the walks, but I like his other stats and think he could be decent. Deloach's potential is 75, and Hyatt's is 72. Would this be a good/fair trade? If not, what should be changed?

Why would LA want Tex when they still have Pujols and Cron?

Pujols is out 2-3 months with an injury. Looks like he'd be back right near the end of the season, but the Angels are barely clinging to a 1-game lead over the Astros, and a 2.5-game lead over Seattle. Texiara would be a rental bat to replace the production of Pujols (and Texiara's numbers are actually better, so it could be a win for them) as they try to make that push and stay ahead of the other two teams. Wilson hasn't played for them, so he's just been dead money.

Re: MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

I have two trades on the table for SOuza Jr. The first is Plouffe straight up for him. They really want Plouffe as he can play SS and fill their void as they have OF depth and don't need Souza. The second trade is Walker B prospect and Kepler B prospect. I think two B prospects are over doing it.
