MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

Re: MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

Ok, so I'm doing my 2016 offseason with the Braves, with the team pretty well intact, except replace Dickey/Colon with Hammel on a 2yr/$20m deal.

What would it take to get Archer/Longoria? Obviously I'd have to split it up in terms of the max 3 players for 1.

Thinking something like:

Albies, Allard, Newcomb, Soroka, Rio Ruiz, and Wisler.

That probably still isn't enough.

Realistically you wont be able to pull it. The Braves have depth but to pull those two you're looking at like $300 million in surplus value. I can't see it happening unless BOTH of Albies and Swanson are involved.

I know you won't want to do that so maybe Albies, Inciarte, Newcomb, Allard, Soroka, Acuna, plus Povse and that might get you there. I'm not sure though

I do 30 team control and I would like to pull off one of the rumored deals that's been floating out there around the Twittersphere. I was looking to pull off the almost happened Puig for Braun swap and then a potential Chris Archer or Chris Sale trade to LAD.

Assuming they have stats close to their real life counterparts, what would it take to get these deals done?

The Braun deal was McCarthy, Puig and Verdugo I think for Braun? Someone can correct me if I remembered that one wrong.

For the aces, Urias isn't going anywhere. Hell, I'd make a strong argument that he's more valuable alone than Sale or Archer.

I think you'd put together a package like DeLeon, Calhoun, Bellinger and then fillers for either.

Re: MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

I'm in the offseason of 2016-2017 with my Yankees, and I'm considering making a run at Yoenis Cespedes. I've already got Brett Gardner, Aaron Hicks, and Aaron Judge set to take the outfield with Clint Frazier waiting down in Triple-A. I don't want to drop Hicks from the lineup because he's played well for me, so I was thinking Brett Gardner should be the guy to go.

David Schoenfield proposed a Gardner for Luke Weaver trade on ESPN the other day. That seems like too little to me, but I'm not a big fan of the Jaime Garcia or Gio Gonzalez rumors either because I'd rather drop Gardner's salary and replace it with Cespedes if I was going to bring him on.

What needs to be added if Gardner hit .277/.329/.388 with 9 HR, 33 RBI, 62 SB for a 1.66 ShowWAR (he's hurt by some base running blunders by yours truly. I can't help but steal.)

The Cardinals meanwhile have a ton of rotation depth with Martinez-Wainwright-Wacha-Leake-Lynn set in the rotation, Garcia as the long-man, Reyes-Gonzalez-Coony-Weaver in Triple-A.

Re: MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

Leody Tavares and Joey Gallo for kevin kiermaier.

Gomez int doing anything for the rangers. Shoo is out for the year. They can move Desmond to left and play Kiermaier in CF. The rays get a prospect CF back and their 1st baseman of the future. Im playing as the rays btw.

To much, to little? Please Let me know

4 years of KK would be costly but Gallo is clearly the prize. I think you'd need to swap out Tavares for Yohander Mendez so the Rays get a high upside cheap arm.

Gardner doesn't have a ton of surplus, hes mostly just a glove at this point. I think the Weaver offer is about right maybe with another throwin from the Cardinals.

Maybe something around Wacha is you wanted that route.

Interesting, I was thinking it would have to be Garder + for Weaver. Sounds like there's a Weaver + for Gardner thought here? Maybe it's just bias, but Wacha seems like would require more than Gardner.

Re: MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

Finally got round to finishing my 1st season of playing every game with the Rays and I'm looking to add a big bat against righties to the lineup, having had my offense somewhat collapse when I scraped into the postseason. I kept hold of all my major prospects and I'm looking at maybe Cargo in his final season of contract?

I signed up Corey Dickerson's for 3 years at a reasonable price so I figured he'd be a decent starting point to the trade (cheaper, more years under control, does similar job but to a lower standard) and I figured adding prospects on top. I'd like to keep Adames and Snell as they are in my lineup, but I was thinking possibly Brent Honeywell and Josh Lowe? Both top end prospects but a little further off the majors, what do you reckon? I could add a bit more if need be as I'm flush with SS and SP prospects

(For what it's worth, Cargo hit 22 homers at .273 last season in an injury shortened 95 game season, Dickerson hit 24 homers at .251 in 130 games)

Mariners don't have the pieces. You haven't given the White Sox a single A potential player there. That package is quantity not quality.

Exactly, zero quality players there.

Re: MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

That's my bad. Clay Holmes went in a different trade. There was a pitcher I grabbed in year one draft. Mark Coleman, SP, A, 70 was there instead.

And it's been a weird first two years for the Sox. Year one they trade Anderson to Texas for Odor. Then let Frazier walk end of year two (signed in KC with MadBum). So Jackson and O'Neal are actually starting for them in year 3.

So Sale has 2 year of team control? Still don't see how the Mariners make it happen. White Sox want at least one legit impact guy. That list even with an A potential guy you just drafted isn't that.
