MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

Re: MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

This is more of a general question rather than a specific what package should I put together. In the MLB does the ability to sign and trade exist? If the Red Sox and White Sox agreed upon a deal fro Chris Sale could the Red Sox then be given the ability to renegotiate a longer contract with him. I know the NBA does this quite often but I didn't know if the MLB had any rules against this

This wouldn't really be a "sign and trade." It'd be more like "trade and extend" and yes the Red Sox would be able to do that.

Re: MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

As a Braves fan I can tell you they had a stupid high price on Viz. They would likely want something like Max Pentecost which might be fair considering the injury history he has been dealing with. And then another piece or two

We just had a Soler for Doolittle deal, and the Jays don't really have a Soler, so its probably a package of prospects and some of the better ones. Not Alford or anything, but maybe Harold Ramirez and Rowdy Tellez.

I don't think it would take much at all to get Soria so thats probably about ballpark value. AC knows a lot more about the Jays than I do, but getting upper half closers is expensive so Doolittle or Viz will cost a just outside the top 100 prospect in my opinion.

Hey guys just wanted to get your opinions on a few guys I'm thinking about trying to move at the trade deadline in my Padres franchise. I'm currently in 2019 and almost 20 games out in the West.

Re: MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

Hey guys looking to get your thoughts on something. Just want to know if you guys would consider this cheating or playing a player at a position he used to play. In my Jays franchise I was wondering if I switched Donaldson to play catcher when martin starts to inevitably age then play Donaldson there until he retires a Jays catcher. I would move Tulo to third as an aging shortstop the same season and get a young shortstop in to play or a stop gap player at short until my young short is ready to play. Let me know if you guys think this is to far or within the realm of possibilities. My thinking is Donaldson started out as a catcher whatever he has for a block rating is what I would stick with when I switch i wouldnt edit that. I also know often that older shortstops get moved to third and Tulo would provide plus defense at third at that point and still provide some decent average and pop. Thanks for taking the time to read this guys. Looking forward to hearing your opinions.

Re: MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

Guys switch from catcher to other positions almost exclusively. I can't remember a scenario of a guy becoming established at another position then switching to catcher full time. I wouldn't do it personally especially not with a Gold Glove level infielder.

Re: MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

Interested in making an offseason trade as the Yankees for INF/OF Chris Ownings and either LHP Robbie Ray or LHP Patrick Corbin. Their stats are as follows:

Owings = .205/.275/.325 with 2 HR, 10 RBI, 6 SB for a .029 WAR as the back-up middle infielder and center fielder.

Ray = 9-10, 3.99 ERA, 9.71 K/9, 3.12 BB/9 over 207.2 IP for a 4.2 WAR as the number two starter behind Grienke.

Corbin = 9-11, 3.99 ERA, 8.78 K/9m, 2.9 BB/9 over 191.2 IP for a 3.42 WAR as the number three starter behind Grienke and Ray.

The Diamondbacks finished twenty games under .500, and over twenty games out of their division and the wild card. I'm interested in what it would take to get a package of Owings + Ray/Corbin to bolster my team. I consider both Ray and Corbin to be projects of sorts, with Owings I would have be my back-up middle infielder with occasional starts in the outfield to protect Didi against lefties and be insurance against Refsnyder turning into a pumpkin (I let Castro go on waivers). Love to hear your thoughts!

What are you willing to give up? Owings isn't that valuable but I have to imagine the D-Backs hold both Corbin and Ray in high regard and would want something substantial and not fringey coming back.

Re: MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

I think that a trade for owings given his number especially cost you very little. where you will be giving up the better prospects would be for corbin or ray. I think Ray costs more hes a year younger has more potential and better stats and isnt an FA until 2021. If I was going to pick a parrallel to this deal IRL it would be the trade that SF made for matt moore which they gave up Duffy, Fox, and santos. That deal was a deadline deal and usually teams overpay at the deadline but given how many years Ray has under RNW or ARB and that your getting a young mlb ready controllable arm with upside you would have to send a package like that

Re: MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

Forgot to thank you for your input. Ive decided against the moves I had mentioned.

Was wondering your guys opinions on a trade Ive been pondering and wondering if I would be giving up enough to get what I want. Was looking to bring schwarber to the Jays after the first year of my franchise so its a trade for the future but looking to get thoughts on a deal ahead of time so I know whats fair. Would Estrada + Reid-Foley+ Davis or Alford get me Schwarber or Schwarber plus another piece

The Cubs absolutely LOVE Schwarber. They wouldn't even consider him for that package. Switch Estrada to Sanchez and Maybe you could get their attention but the Cubs have no interest in dealing away Schwarber

I'm open minded to a trade that might hurt, I'm just not sure how to gauge what the D-Backs would be looking for given that they have some high-end talent like Greinke and Goldschmidt on their roster, but were pretty awful without a lot of help on the horizon. I mean, do they want someone that plugs into the major league roster right this moment? Or do they want a high-end prospect?

When I was initially thinking about the trade, I was thinking that Jorge Mateo would probably be involved, but he's at Double-A at the moment. Is that close enough to the majors for a team paying big money for Greinke and wasting Goldy's best years? Or should I look at them as a team that might look to deal Greinke (as we reportedly heard) and rebuild big time following the Miller debacle? That's probably my biggest hang-up in perceiving the value right now.

Re: MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

I think a Schwarber for Sanchez/Stroman deal is something both sides would absolutely have to consider. Though I think both say no eventually. Well, I think CHC is more likely to say no than TO.

I think the Cubs have made it well known it will take an armed invasion to pry Schwarber from their organization.

In 7 pro seasons, Weiters has only had an OPS over .800 once (2014). This was also the only year he's batted over .300. I feel like he's a glorified Saltalamaccia. Either way, I'm not sure you'll get much return for him.

The Cubs like Stroman and Sanchez. Have wanted them since they were prospects.

If they were gonna trade him, those would be good examples of centerpieces.
