Re: MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

What would be my options for both ?

The Orioles really don't have that much to offer. Any deal would involve Bundy, Harvey, Mountcastle, Stewart or Sisco.

Re: MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

Alright fellas, I'm currently in a dog fight with the Giants for the NL West (we're tied for the lead) in my Rockies franchise. It's July 26, and I would like to be able to jump the gun on them a little bit.

I'm in desperate need of an OF that can hit lefties, as well as possibly a first baseman that can be a somewhat balanced hitter. Mark Reynolds is killing me with his .201 average. He's hitting for decent power, but I don't know if it's enough to warrant keeping him in the lineup.

I'm looking into possibly killing two birds with one stone. The Orioles are 16.5 games back in the AL East. They have two guys that could possibly help me out, Pedro Alvarez and Christian Walker. I want to try to get both of those guys.

So what I'm looking at is this:

Rockies get:
Pedro Alvarez - .238, 13 HRs, 30 RBIs
Christian Walker - 3 games in the majors, .250, 1 HR, 2 RBIs

Orioles get:
Ryan McMahon - 21 year old, B prospect third baseman
Forrest Wall - 20 year old, C prospect second baseman
Eddie Butler - 25 year old C prospect pitcher

What do you guys think?

It is super hard to get an impact arm with the lower end farm the O's have. If you could send us some of the teams that are out of it, we could try to come up with a list. There's little to no chance of getting a #2 with what you have to offer, but we could probably find an arm just maybe not the level you hoped for

Tigers, White Sox, Athletics, Marlins, Phillies, Braves, Brewers, Reds, Padres, Rockies would be all out of it right now. Also may not help much but I'm willing to add Schoop to any talks.


Update: Would the Rays/White Sox do a two for one swap for Sale ? IE any two of Archer, Cobb, Odorizzi,Moore, Smyly, Snell or Honeywell for Sale

Re: MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

You're right, there are never too many shortstop prospects. They often become great fielding outfielders and third basemen.


Judge wouldn't be enough for Swanson. It is pretty much consensus around the industry that Swanson is thought of as the better player than Judge. The raw power Judge has is legit, but he isn't enough for Swanson. You rarely if ever see prospect swaps even when they make sense. Braves are seen as having a top-2/3 farm system. Why would they trade their best prospect and a top 10 guy for Judge, who isn't even the Yankees best prospect and isn't a top 25 prospect.

That's what I thought but I wanted to confirm my thinking. Thanks everyone. I all be reject this deal.

Tigers: Verlander if they're way out of it, that would clear up salary but it's not like they're ever going to tear down with Mike Ilitch in charge.

White Sox: Sale is obviously too much, how is Santiago pitching in your franchise?

A's: Sonny isn't really going to work with what you have to offer. Rich Hill is interesting if he's pitching well and you're not worried about age.

Marlins: Conley maybe? Chen isn't getting traded since he just signed and not nearly enough to offer for Fernandez

Phillies: If Hellickson is pitching decent enough to trade for, that could work

Braves/Reds: not much here

Brewers: Wily Peralta? Matt Garza? I'd pass on that

Padres: Cashner maybe

Rockies: Chatwood or Bettis?

Schoop + Bundy + Harvey should be able to get something of value if that's something you'd consider. I'm honestly just blanking on where the fit is.

As for the Rays/Sox deal you proposed. Archer + Snell, maybe another piece but nothing on that list of MLB talent or Honeywell.

I think besides the Verlander deal i think this would hurt the O's more then help so i'll leave them be.

Looks like there rivals will be getting some help would this be good.

Archer + Snell + Gillespie/Adames/Robertson/Varona/Whitley

for

Sale


Update: Braves send Teheran to Baltimore for Sisco + Stewart + Bundy/Harvey

I don't think that's enough for Teheran and that the Braves could do better elsewhere. I don't think it's a fit.

I'm going to backtrack on the Sale trade a bit. I said "or Honeywell" and didn't really think about how that came across. I guess I meant expect Honeywell.. Idk. I think Archer + Snell + Honeywell would work because the White Sox really have no reason to move Sale. Archer has plenty of surplus value, but Sale is super cheap and controlled until 2019.

Edit: I really don't like the idea dealing with fairness or realism of Chris Sale going to Tampa Bay. Why not just keep Archer and let your guys develop? (I don't mean you as in like your team, because you're the O's but you get what I'm saying)

Getting a #1 would be nearly impossible with what you have to offer. Getting a #2 would deplete your farm and there isn't that much farm to offer. Hellickson is a good name if the Phillies are out of it but he would be a rental and I don't know if you are looking for a rental or a guy who has some team control left.

Okay. IE you said nothing there

Oh okay took it as "not honeywell" but that seems about the price of admission to start talks about getting a ACE that happens to have great team control ....

Update: yea understand the Rays staying put with those 3 over Sale (one)

Side thought: Eric Hosmer is a stud IMO, I just like his style of play. The Royals are done in my franchise. He has this year + next year ARB then hits the market. Any chance the Royals sell now and if so how much ? Would go to Tampa putting up nice numbers .287 18 HR 48 RBI (3.47 WAR)

If you are the O's they don't have enough to get Hosmer, and probably wouldn't use their resources on him since they have Crush Davis and Trumbo already.
