MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

Re: MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

Just curious to what you guys think I could get in a package for Zach Britton. I am in early July in my Oriole Franchise and he is having a year similar to one in real life. He is 1-0 with 29 saves in 29 opportunities, his ERA is 0.80 and has struck out 43 batters in 36 innings of work. Lefties are hitting .103 and righties are hitting .072.

I don't plan on trading him during the season but will explore options in the offseason but I am curious after seeing the Yankees returns for Chapman and Miller. Am I looking at packages similar to what the Yankees got for Miller since Britton has two years left of team control?

Re: MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

So we are through the trade deadline and many players have been placed on trade waivers. The one that really gets my attention is Danny Duffy. In my season he is in the bullpen and not having the greatest season, not even close to real life so I am going to claim him and try to work out a deal with the Royals. I highly doubt I will be able to to it as he is in the division. The other guy I want to claim is brad Brach. He is having a decent season but nothing like real life as well and he would surely bolster my bullpen.

I think if you claim a guy and they don't want to lose them for free, they will revoke the claim and you will not be able to trade for him. Or at least that's what happened in mine. I wanted Sean Rodriguez and claimed him. He was pulled back and I went to trade for him and he was not available to be traded for :/

Yea that's how trade waivers work. I claimed Brach and they didn't pull him back so I have two days to work a dea out. I claimed Duffy as well but I think they pulled him

Re: MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

All right so many people asked for an update to what I was able to accomplish at the Non Waiver trade deadline. I was able to mirror the Nunez deal to the Giants for Mejia. Many people asked why i dealt him if he was hitting good and the answer to that is I already had an abundance of Super utility guys (Santana, Escobar and Rosario who is in Triple-A) that could not play 1B. My only back up 1B was Park and he is terrible at defense. I then was able to deal Top pitching prospect Fernando Romero and Wander javier to the Diamondbacks for Wellington castillo. With castillo coming in, That made Kurt Suzuki expendable so I was able to deal him to the rays who needed a upgrade at catcher for the playoffs for brad Miller who was having an ok season but was currently in Triple-A. Miller comes in to take Nunez spot as my utility IF who can play 1B. I was unable to deal for Will Smith who got dealt earlier in the week and I didn't notice. Now so far in the Waiver deadline, I was able to claim Brad Brach, Danny Duffy and Matt Thornton. The Orioles and Royals both pulled their players back but Thornton made it through so now I will make a deal for matt Thornton who will give me the lefty I need for my bullpen. That is my update and thanks everyone for the help with the deals.

I'm faced with the same dilemma. I would like to believe we could get a nice return for Britton. Curious to see what others think.

Use the Chapman and Andrew Miller deals as starting points. You can get a solid haul for him since he is still arb eligible next year. But I need to see the stats from both you guys for Britton.

Re: MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

I need to see the stats of Nola before I can even begin to say if it makes anything fair because in reality, It is un-realistic. To trade Nola just because you are fed up with him is not a real reasoning to deal him. Also, if he has a high ERA, why would the Rays trade one of their top pitching prospects for a guy getting pounded this season?

arron nola era: 6.78 whip 2.67

so id like to say that i just want dude out of my hair. i would like snell but id be willing to trade for other prospects... suggestions from u guys would be great.

also i want to make a realitic trade... i thouhgt may b tampa would be interested to add pitching and contend, their in first place... but after i reasoned on what u guys have said nola's high era isnt really appealing so what could i get for him is my question at this point

teams that are out of contention at this point in the season are det, min, oak, cin,

So something along the lines of an "A" potential prospect/MLB ready player. A combination of 2 "B" level prospects and a "C" prospect OR "A" level prospect, MLB contributor and "B" level prospect.

I'm just trying to keep it realistic as possible. Either way I'm for sure trading Britton whether it's at the dead line (depending on team standing) or in off season.

BTW Britton is 1-1, 1.08 ERA, 22 IP, 19/19 Saves, 28 strikeouts /4 BB.

I Would wait closer to the deadline to see where teams stand so we can start talking prospects. It is hard to take in account who is buyers or sellers this early for such a big guy like Britton to be dealt. But you are on track with what you could get. If he keeps it up he could easily bring an A and 2 B's or possibly 2 A's and a C.

Re: MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

I think sending Nola down to AAA to get back on track would be a better move. If youre ready to give up on a guy who hasn't pitched a full season yet, youre probably willing to give him up cheap, but that doesn't really seem to be what you want to do.

Your kinda talking out of both sides of you mouth...its been "Aaron Nola sucks and I want to trade him now" and then "Can i get a top 5 LHP prospect in return?" You've got to be a little more clear about what you want to accomplish

Thanks a lot man. I'll come back when it's closer to the deadline.

Britton does not have quite the pedigree of Miller (who as put up 100 K's multiple times out of the pen) but given how he's performing in your league and his excellent stuff, I think a trade in the ballpark of the Miller / Chapman deals is very reasonable. Perhaps that minus one of the throw ins or a slightly lower graded centre piece. You wouldn't be far off just looking for near equivalent value.

Keep in touch in here as you go along with your franchise. I am an Orioles fan so I'll be your number one supporter for top value for Britton. I believe he could re-stock you farm and that's what the Orioles need!

My original post had stats but He is 1-0 with 29 saves in 29 opportunities, his ERA is 0.80 and has struck out 43 batters in 36 innings of work. Lefties are hitting .103 and righties are hitting .072.

I am in early July in my Franchise. Probably won't trade him at this deadline but probably will during the offseason. Thanks again for the advice.

Cool. Thanks I appreciate ya advice. I'm going to let the season play out a little and let the buyers and sellers declare themselves and try to get the best possible deal while remaining realistic.
