MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

Re: MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

Sounds like you been having to much fun.

The Giants trade just makes to much sense not to make it. I can see them make the Beltran trade AGAIN. lol and with those numbers Beickford could be had for another possible ring.

Cubs trade has been discussed many pages back but looking back the Cubs prospects value go up and down and all around so may need to just look back or someone else can chime in.

The Angels trade looks very interesting to me. Depending how their playing in your chise they may be willing to part with a hurt talent (but does have upside) and C.J. Wilson who is a shell of his old self for McCann and Grander to win now with no help coming out of that garbage can they call a farm system. I don think it's a bad deal but I can be wrong and not seeing something else.

Miller for Soler is a very real possibility IRL, and with Soler playing like that and the Yankees selling two of their 3 starting OFers theyd jump at the chance to get him.

Go get Brad Brach from orioles

???????

Brad Brach is a good reliever...but giving up Baez for him....no way

Re: MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

Is this deal anywhere close to fair? July 22nd 2017. Pirates are 6 games below .500 and in 4th place in the NL Central.

Tiger get:
Starling Marte

Pirates get:
1b Sean McCleary 72ovr (18yo, 87 pot, 71/75 con, 63/70 pwr, 73 vision, 71 speed)

2b Jesse Gallaraga 70ovr (19yo, 86 pot, 57/79 con, 33/35 pwr, 65 vision, 80 speed)

SP Lonny Newhouser 64 ovr (19yo, 86 pot, 82 stamina, 85 velocity, 68 bb/9)

These guys where all draft picks in 2016.

Marte would cost more than the Tigers could give. Marte is on a super team friendly deal and plays at a near elite level. His "worst" full season has been a 3.6WAR. Since I don't recognize one name on that list I am guessing all three are guys the Tigers drafted in the game? I just don't see an scenario where the Pirates trade Marte with McCutcheon becoming a FA after 2018.

No, not fair. 3 teenage lottery tickets, essentially, for Marte. In general, deals where you're using all game-generated players for the prospects look weird (at least until you get closer to 2020). PIT would want players closer to ready to deal a major asset in Marte, who is arguably their best player on the team.

Re: MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

Its July 26th 2016 in my franchise and I am looking at doing something like

Red Sox get Teheran 4-8 3.82 ERA 2.8 WAR and Vizcaino 25 saves 0.62 WAR

Braves get Benintendi .292 15HR 57 RBI 12 SB in AA and Kopech 5-6 4.23 ERA 124 SO 112 Innings

I assume I have to give up another peice but I am not sure how valuable it needs to be. I could maybe give up a bit more and get B. Davidson back, I read some Braves fans think Wren might push for a few of his guys back in a trade and after Benintendi leaves my OF prospect depth is pretty bad unless I shift YM to LF, which I might due if the game doesn't start forcing Pedroias ratings to nosedive soon.

Unlike a lot of my fellow fans I understand that you have to lose talent to get it and as much as losing nintendo sucks the Red Sox need a young starter with team control and both these arms have at least three years of control I think.

Could Owens be another peice, unlike real life, he is pitching well in AAA 7-6 2.71 134 SO 138 Innings

For both I would think Benintendi, Swihart, and another decent pitcher coppy has said they want a ML player for Teheran and viz alone will command a package slightly lower than the Giles trade. Braves would be filling two holes as theyd shift swihart to C

Not saying give up Baez for him. He could get Brach for less.

Re: MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

Just looking. What would it take for Suzuki and Ho-Park from Minnesota. They are first In their division and are looking for a RP and 3B. Suzuki is splitting time with Murphy at 4.2 mil batting .286. Ho-Park has barely played this year batting .238 with 1 homer and 5 RBI mid May. He seems to be a bench player for the twins. I could give Loup or Storen + Dominguez + Thole or Jimenez. Would that get it done? I should mentioned ho-park is on a 4 year deal at about 600K per which isn't like in real life.

Depends how Park is playing, and if the Twins have a good replacement for that DH spot...how are Vargas, Arcia and any other options for Park's replacement doing??

[BlueJays09]

Re: MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

Right now Mauer is playing 1B and the Dh is mainly Arcia. As mentioned Park has 58 ABs with a .238 average and 1 homer. Not on the Ps4 now but can say for sure what Arcia and others are doing. Must be good considering the twins are in first. I wouldn't make any deal until another month or so but seems like Park is bench and Suzuki is a 4 mil split catcher. Twins seem to need relievers, starters and 3B according to their block. Figured this trade could work for both.

So what? The guy suggesting this was trying to deal from the Cubs. Why exactly would he want Brach

One said before he was tired of using a platoon for the 8th inning.

The Twins really don't have another solid DH option after Park. I'm the Twins in my franchise now and Park is my full time DH. It's weird they have him in the bench and Arcia as the DH as he is horrendous against lefties.

Re: MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

My Yankees are treading water in early May and I'm thinking I'll do some hybrid of buying and selling at the deadline. Here are the guys that I'm going to start considering trading off while their value is high:

Jacoby Ellsbury (.289/.349/439 with 4 HR, 12 RBI, 12 SB, 1.00 WAR)

Carlos Beltran (.235/.347/.490 with 7 HR, 13 RBI, 0 SB, 0.06 WAR)

Chase Headley (.302/.348/.477 with 3 HR, 10 RBI, 0 SB, 0.03 WAR)

Ideally, I'm moving Aaron Hicks into CF and preparing Aaron Judge to play RF, though I'm not sure who is taking over at 3B following a deal. I would love to find a way to get Joey Gallo or Javier Baez, though obviously I doubt any of those three guys are going to be in that trade and it would be something else. Early thoughts?

Re: MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

You're right those guys aren't getting you Gallo or Baez. They'll get you hardly anything because they are performing a little better than a AAAA player. Beltran is 37 so he won't get you much of anything. Ellsbury is unmovable because of his contract. Headley could maybe get you a lotto ticket.

The only way you are getting Baez or Gallo is by moving two of No Run BMC or Tanaka and one of No Run BMC.

Yeah, I'm not expecting any of those guys involved in a trade for one of those two, just more of a musing on what I'd like to do at third.

Off the top of my head, I was thinking I'd have to pay down Ellsbury's contract in any trade (the ole release and be on the hook for part of his contract and have his new team take on the rest trick). That would leave roughly $80MM left on his deal. I'll look for a bad contract swap that might make more sense for my roster construction towards the the trade deadline.

For Beltran, I was thinking the Royals are the only natural fit (at least until he actually gets moved in real life) due to his ties there and the fact that Paulo Orlando hasn't done anything for them in right field so far. Was thinking maybe I could add something to Beltran to get Hunter Dozier? I liked him years ago but I think he's kind of fallen off the map, but that might be more unfamiliarity with the Royals farm system than anything else.

Headley is a tricky one. The Angels seem like the best fit since they've gotten nothing out of Yunel Escobar and could use a little thump. Oddly enough, they could really use Ellsbury too, but unless I want to take back Pujols (I do not), the money doesn't make a lot of sense there.
