MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

Re: MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

I don't think a reliever like Hector Neris would be that expensive. He doesn't have a great track record...only one full season so far, and had a negative WAR. A guy who doesn't quite crack the top-30 prospects on your team will likely get a deal done.

Yea I figured that, but his stats are decent in my franchise and his war is almost 1 in July. Maybe just DJ Davis for him? I feel like I am ripping them off sending pennies haha.

Yeah understand. One of those guys will get it done easily.

If you are really set on Neris that's fine, but there are definitely other options that wouldn't be that much more expensive (David Robertson, Steve Cishek, even Jenmar Gomez of the Phillies)

Re: MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

Hey guys. In July still looking for pitching help for the Jays. Phillies are way out of it and selling (already dealt Helickson and looking to trade Neris. Neris would be a perfect end of the bullpen piece I need. His stats:

2-2, 3.59 ERA, 1.13 WHIP, 46 K, 47.2 innings, 15BB/46K

0.93 WAR, 8.69 K/9, 2.85 FIP

I was thinking DJ Davis (58B, .253 1HR 8RBI in AA but was hurt) and Max Pentcost (.231 13GP - just moved to AA).

I know the price for relievers are high so that's why I think Davis and Pentcost would have to get it done. Maybe I take back another 60 rated vet as well for AAA depth. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

I like Neris but that's a lot, even for him performing well.

I agree with the thinking that one of them is fine. Of course, I have a hard time thinking Neris will keep that up, but getting a B prospect, that could evolve into a solid defensive outfielder (or defensive catcher in Pentecost's case) at the minimum is plenty.

No way I'd deal both of them. If I'm doing that, I'm getting a more "certain" arm, like Neil Ramirez, Ken Giles, Hunter Strickland (granted I don't know how they are rated in your franchise, but I'm using OSFM2) along with something else of value, like a decent prospect at another position (mid-infield, for example)

Granted, I value catcher prospects highly because they tend to go extinct in my franchises.

Entering season two, what could plouffe and dozier net me?
Looking for any kind of pitching, left fielder 3rd and first.

Plouffe- .284/21/87
Dozier- .298/27/93

Why do you need 3B when you have Sano and 1B when you have Mauer?

These types of responses don't really help the situation much. While it is suggested in the OP that users shouldn't bump their own trades, it's common for some deals to get buried under more popular discussions.

A more productive response would have been:
"Hey man, people in this thread don't usually enjoy it when you bump your own trades. What helps is when you give more information. Its kinda hard to find a quality response when you leave it so wide open"

Do you have any targets in mind?

I imagine you could pack them together to get a good player at the least, especially if Dozier is rated like he is in mine (I have a MLB16 franchise in year 2 using OSFM v2 and that's what I'm looking at to get their ratings). Plouffe's starting to slide in mine but maybe he's still holding up with those stats in yours.

Are you looking for any particular type of pitcher? There's more than a few good pitchers around. Same for the other positions? Contact + Speed? Speed + Defense? Strong arm? Etc.

Just to help narrow it some. Or use the Player Search and come up with some interesting names?

Re: MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

im in my second year with the Phillies and just about fed up with Mr. Aaron Nola... i simply dont pitch well with him. i feel ive been paiteint and am done waiting for him to come around.. I know it might be pulling the plug a bit soon but dude era is like 7 soooo yeah.... im looking to trade him and id like to know what i could get for him starting pitching wise.... I also maybe willing to relinquish the sevices of J P Crawford not because of his play but because i drafted a 5 tool superstar to be so he's kind of expendable.

So my package can include
SP Aaron Nola 84 A
SS J P Crawford 75 A
CF Juan Flores 61 A *drafted

looking for starting pitching but open to other ideas as to something realistic in return for my Package

Basically anyone not named Clayton Kershaw. A Crawford/Nola package would get literally every teams attention. You're looking at a Chris Sale level pitcher

Re: MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

A trade I'm pondering in my carryover (in Year 8, 2022)

(^ = rising grade, - = dropping grade)

Marlins (me) trade:
SP Will Bullock (82^/B, 25 y/o, 5 yr team control left)
SS Chris Owings (81^/B^, 30 y/o, 5 yr team control left)

D-Backs trade:
IF/OF Martin Ybarra (72^/B, 23 y/o, 5 yr team control left)
LF Rex Dean (45^/B, 19 y/o, MLC)

Rationale:
Diamondbacks are in playoff contention, but have been ravaged by injuries. Their pitching is on the bottom half of the league and Owings would likely become their starting SS.

On the Marlins side, I'm flushed with pitching prospects and Bullock is the one I like the least (not much to do with his performance, I don't like his HR/9 being the 2nd highest rating since I play all my games with no sim or fast forward...but that should play to the CPU advantage in sim where it matters). Chris Owings deserves to start, he's seeing new life in MLB16 with him raising his potential from C to B and he's having across the board +1 or +2 in all ratings.

I'd get a project with upside at LF where he might takeover for Yelich down the road and Ybarra is a good SS prospect. He's currently on the D-Backs bench seeing little playing time (86 AB into June).

Ybarra is the must-have. He's the reason I'd be interested in this deal.

I'd be willing to add some decent prospects if need be. Probably won't screenshot them (since I have very few "untouchables" and they wouldn't belong in this trade anyway I don't think), but I can give particulars.

The CPU will accept as presented, which is relevant because:
a) I don't use 30-team control.
b) If I need to add something to my side and/or take from their side, I can do it without reworking the whole trade.


Skill Profiles:

Here's Bullock:


Here's Owings:



Here's Ybarra:


Here's Dean:

Don't really have any targets in mind. Could move sano to third but looking at cabbage at third hopefully in year three or four if he progresses well. So would keep sano in right. Looking for SP prospects to help build a future rotation with Jay and Berrios. Have a future infield in mind of 2-Gordon, 3-Cabbage, S- Polanco. Could use a future first baseman after Mauer exits or goes to DH fulltime.

Am i right in thinking Jose fernandez would be unrealistic because of rating and being in the division or is my package just that good?

Thanks guys. I might just throw them Davis for Neris or have a look at some of the other available options that you mentioned over the next couple of weeks or my franchise. I wouldn't want to pay a lot due to a thin prospect pool already. Appreciate it!
