Yes...but not for Tyson Ross.

Also, It matters how good of a season he is having.

Re: MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

Ok maybe I'm blind but the only time I've seen Ross's name mentioned in regards to this trade was by you. Am I missing something?
Nevermind, I see it now. Ugh need more sleep.

Yes Devers in a package for someone like Fernandez, but not Ross.

You're a wee bit blind

Also, It matters how good of a season he is having.

True, and in the current market who really knows.

Re: MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

If I was the Angels, I'd deal only if I could significantly upgrade my offense. I'm in contention, so I don't want to straight out weaken my team, but since I'm in contention, I could consider upgrading my offense if I really have just 3 hitters, one of which is older and not likely to keep it up, doing anything at the plate.

It would have to be a nice upgrade. Otherwise, I might just roll with what I have or find an upgrade that wouldn't take from my current rotation.

That's what I was thinking. I'm pretty much doing a full rebuild of the Yankees, so I could see myself dealing Ellsbury (2.20 WAR), Gardner (1.56 WAR), Headley (1.83 WAR), and Castro (-0.46 WAR). I'm just not sure that any of them, or any combination of them, are enough to get a Skaggs.

Might be a tough sell for those names for someone doing what Skaggs is doing. Probably could match up the values, but unless I had that good of a rotation or someone who could do decent to fill in, I probably hang on.

I'd probably rather trade a decent B kid that needs a couple years for someone in the Gardener tier - decent production and a useful skill profile - if that upgraded my outfield. That might be a match if you're rebuilding and there's a prospect that could fit the bill. One of them for a prospect you're into.

Thoughts on Garder or paid-down Ellsbury for Reynaldo Lopez (+ Werth if it were Ellsbury)?

Re: MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

I know it may sound crazy but i am at the all star break and I am heavily thinking about trading Phil Hughes. I am in playoff contention as I am 51-34 and 2.5 games ahead of the Indians for 1st place in the AL Central.

Phil Hughes W-L 12-3 IP 124.2 SO 77 ERA 2.17 WHIP 0.93 G 17 GS 17 QS 16 CG 3 WAR 3.01 K/9 5.56 BB/9 0.58 HR/9 0.79

I know trading your ACE during a playoff contention is unheard of but his value is possibly at highest peak right now. I was wondering what I could possibly get for him? There is no doubt he is in Cy Young conversation and he is under contract for a respectable price for 3 more years after this year.

Re: MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

So entering year 4. One of my 12 teams is Arizona. In off season, LaD offers me grandal and Pederson for pollock. Both had sub par seasons while Pollack had a decent year. Fair value? I took the deal btw as I was in bad need of a catcher

You aren't going to get anything you need for him.

A rebuilding team wouldn't want him, and a contending probably wouldn't give up any major league contributors for him.

It sounds crazy because it is... You could only get prospects back and why would you want prospects when you are in contention?

I know I would only get prospects for him. I feel as if my rotation could
Hold without Hughes as Berrios and Santana are doing well. But it was just a thought of "What kind of package I could land" type of scenario. I highly doubt I deal him since I will be dealing for Mesoraco soon. Playoffs!

Re: MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

I made those two trades from a couple pages back and now with Pederson to play center could I move Ozuna plus to Texas for Profar?

I don't know if Texas has a spot for Profar but he could slot into 3rd base in 2017 after Prado leaves if not sooner if I can move him at the deadline.

Ozuna would be a good platoon partner with Choo if not his replacement and he has more control left than Profar.

What would I add to Ozuna for Texas or would they not be into it?

Thanks

Who else is in contention? Who needs a SP? Are there more sellers than buyers, or more buyers than sellers?

Depending on the market you could get two B's back or a smidge more/less.

For the numbers he is puttng up he could land a decent haul. I am using the Pomeranz trade as a starting point but I am not dealing him.

Older, more expensive, sure has what two years? Probably a smidge below an Espinoza. But he could definitely like some very solid prospects.

Gardner for Lopez would make sense to me.

Decent prospect/young pitcher that needs a bit more refinement for a useful OF now that has a few years left.
