Re: MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

I don't see the Yankees doing a prospect-for-prospect swap involving Aaron Judge. They'd need a young controllable arm like Jon Gray or be looking for a blockbuster move like Arenado or CarGo.

I wouldn't give up Judge for CarGo, too many injuries for my liking. But that's why I am laying in bed watching GoT and not a GM.

Yeah I don't think they would do a prospect swap for Judge either. At this point of the discussion it's fairness > realism because OP wants Judge. I don't see a realistic scenario, based on what he's willing to give, where he makes that trade.

The Yankees would have to be hurt and in the race to consider a blockbuster, but even at that point, is Jon Gray the guy you're targeting? I say no.

Edit: sorry if my last post was confusing. I meant to say those prospect offers were more fair than realistic, not the other way around.

First, who is out of it or near out?

Doubt you're getting any ace with control with that package, and I believe the only "ace" rental would be Strasburg. Don't think that's enough for him either.

I think that'd be enough for Strasburg. Can only base that on what I've heard though.

Yea that seems pretty close to the Price deal from last year. No problem with that.

I am not sure which teams are out of it. I will have to get back to you on that one tonight when I load up the game. I thought about Strasburg but I think the Nats are still in it and would likely not want to deal Strasburg.

I wasn't necessarily talking 'ace', rather than top 2 starter. Could that package get me Teheran? He's really the only one I can think of. Or, someone like Homer Bailey from the Reds or what would Kluber/Carrasco/Bauer cost? Or Cashner/Ross??

On a aim higher note. The rays are last and I was wondering what I would need to pony up for Archer??

Those are the guys I can think of on the top of my head from teams out of it. I can add more names later, just trying to get an idea of the price for these guys.

Re: MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

If I did trade CarGo to the Yanks along with someone like a gray, McMahon or tapia, what would the package look like? Possibly judge and bird? And if not the Yanks, where could I send him for the most return if I'm out of it?

Depending on Cashner's stats and the Padres status I would think the package you posted would be pretty competitive for him. Didn't even think of Cashner.

Braves probably wouldn't trade Teheran, though who knows what they're thinking. Not sure on Bailey, but Kluber and Carrasco are probably out of your price range. Reports say AA tried for Carrasco last deadline and was asked for Stroman instead of Norris/Hoffman/Pompey and I doubt you want to go there.

Stats for the guys you want would help though.

Re: MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

Made my first mega deal last night.

I have a Yankees franchise going and I acquired Yu Darvish for Aaron Judge and Jorge Mateo. It's the day after the All Star Break (I play one game per series). Right now the Yanks are in 2nd place, 6 games behind the Rays, and 1 game ahead of the Sox and Jays.

Judge was batting .270, 20HR, 41 RBI in AAA, and Jorge Mateo split time between AA and AAA (I dont remember his AA stats, but I think he batted like .280 with 1 HR and 5-6 SB in April, and I moved him up. He was hitting .243 with 4 HR and 18 RBI in AAA).

Yu Darvish was 4-7, 3.89 ERA with 102 K in 92 innings. To make room on the 25 man roster, I released CC Sabathia who was 1-7, 5.33 ERA.

Unfortunately, I lost Nathan Eovaldi who was 7-7, 3.50ish ERA for 3-4 weeks on the same day, so I called up James Kaprielian who was 7-1, 3.15 ERA in AAA.



I should also mention, one of the reasons I did this is because Gregorious and Castro are both young and playing really well, so Mateo was essentially blocked. And Judge is good, but I like Hicks as a young switch hitter.

Re: MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

No, I don't see it. You should just replicate the real trade if you want Price. We already know what works with these teams.

Thanks for the input. I still might do something along these lines, just because I think it lines up in terms of fairness and the context of my franchise (other contenders are either set for pitching or don't have the pieces for a better offer, Tigers are 6.5 GB and Price a pending FA) but I appreciate the input all the same. May also do something around Jon Harris, our 1st round pick this year. College pitchers with fairly safe projections seem like a good fit for the Tigers. Just can't in good conscience deal Norris when he's in the big leagues pitching like this, too unrealistic.

If the tigers dint get Norris, they don't move him to Toronto. That's the only reason he got traded there. Detroit had another deal lined up until Toronto said ok to include him in it.

Re: MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

Can you trade legends? I have salary caps off, but the CPU isn't interested in trading for any of them.

Right, but in the context, they're going to trade him. 6.5 GB and he's a pending FA they can't afford with Verlander, Miggy, V-Mart on the books. The only teams in my franchise who might be looking to make a move for a starter are the Royals (who are going to grab Cueto), Blue Jays, maybe Cubs and maybe Dodgers. Every other contender is either set for pitching or unwilling to move for a rental. So it's a tough situation, with Price, Cueto and Hamels all on the market. In other words, buyers market. It's tough for me to pull off entirely realistic trades in context of what happened last year when things aren't lining up the exact same way. I can only think of a couple packages I'd be willing to do.

1)

To Blue Jays:

P David Price

To Tigers:

P Jon Harris
P Matt Boyd
P Jairo Labourt

2) After doing Alex Wood trade:

To Dodgers:

P David Price

To Tigers:

P Alex Wood
P Joe Wieland
P Mike Thomas

Not sure if the Cubs would make a move for him yet, as I move through July things might become more clear.

Re: MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

What would the dodgers have to trade to get Lucroy?

[kenp86]

Re: MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

What exactly isn't lining up? Norris is still a good young pitching prospect. Did well for us before injury. Scratched last spring training start cause of the flu. Projected the #4/5 starter when he comes back.

Thanks! I will probably go after Cashner then. I will post some stats of all the SP that I would like to acquire next time I fire up the game with standings of teams out of it by this point in the season. Then I can consider who to target and what to give.

The package of Pompey+Pentcost+Hutch was just a baseline package. I would be willing to pay a bit more for a better pitcher if it would get the job done. Only prospect I want to hold onto is Alford. He has been mashing AA and now mashing AAA so I think he might be MLB ready very soon my my franchise (maybe a sept call up)

Thanks again.

The circumstances basically. In real life, Norris was up in April, was mediocre and sent back to AAA. In my franchise, he was called up in June and has been killing it, which basically makes him untradeable at the moment considering the state of my rotation.

Since it seems like the Tigers want controllable MLB ready pitching, I'm kicking around a 3-way trade with Alex Wood going back to Detroit. Basically,

To Blue Jays:

David Price

To Tigers:

P Alex Wood
Prospect

To Braves:

OF Dalton Pompey/P Jon Harris
Prospects

Need to fill in the blanks, but it's a start I think. Everyone gets their guys.
