MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

Re: MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

If you already started your franchise and didn't do 30 team control at the start then it's too late to do so.

I assume you are the Red Sox, did you try raising Moncada's stats to near his actual potential levels to see just him being an superstar already would help make the deal go through?

I've manipulated the stats as much as I can - turning Moncada and Kopech into superstars, turning Sale into a bum, ect. It seems that a player's trade value is calculated differently from their overall stats.

I assume trade value has to change eventually if a player's abilities fall of a cliff in the game - it's just that the revaluation of their trade value doesn't change immediately and I'm not sure how long I'd have to sim before their trade value catches up with their overall ability/potential.

Re: MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

Would this work?

OAK receives:

Mallex Smith
Lucas Sims

ATL receives:

Ryon Healy

Thoughts?

Re: MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

Oakland would probably take that. Not sure it's the best deal for the braves, but it certainly could happen

Re: MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

Is there any deal I can do that will give me fair value for Manny Machado? Looking to rebuild before the 2018 season as I want to get something for him and then maybe attempt to resign him in the offseason.

In 2016 he slashed .301/.542/.340 with 36 HRs and 107 RBIs
In 2017 he slashed .312/.550/.336 with 35 HRs and 110 RBIs

What is everyone's opinions on team to target for a trade partner? I know the Dodgers, Yankees, Red Sox, Astros, Braves would have the prospects to get the conversation going but Dodgers don't really have a space for him unless they move an outfielder in a trade then move Turner out there to open 3B for Manny. Don't want to trade within division unless I take everything from them (LOL). Braves are still bad and doesn't make sense to trade prospects for one year of Manny. Which leaves the Astros... They have made the playoff both years but lost in the Wild Card game in 2016 and then lost to me in the ALDS in 2017.

Don't take this as a shot at Machado, but what position does he really help the Astros? Would 1 season of Machado be better than 5 of Bregman? Thats a pretty solid no. Obviously Correa is already in place. I guess Bregman could play Left, but they wouldn't give you Bregman for him so you'd be looking at Kyle Tucker and Frances Martes as your best options for a trade and odds are that might not move the needle.

I agree there really isn't a spot for him now that you mention it. I was just thinking from a prospect side of it and not even thinking about what they have. Hmmm, back to the drawing board with this one. May have to consider biting the division bullet as both have a need at third even if not realistic that they deal him to a division rival even if it's just for a season.

Re: MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

Anyone got a realistic trade value for Tyson Ross at the beginning of 2017? Obviously in real life the Padres bafflingly released him due to his injury, but if he was fit then what sort of value do you think he'd have?

I was thinking of a deal around maybe Alex Meyer (RHP, 74 rated, B potential, still full team control) and Ji Man Choi (LF, 74, B, coming off a great rookie season hitting .293 with 14 HR in 119 games). I'd be giving up two major league ready players with decent potential and good team control for a player in his final year on a team who are never going to compete? (already traded Myers to Red Sox)

Am I being a bit conservative and need to add a bit more? (I usually am)

I think you're actually being too generous. I don't think Tyson Ross is worth 2 good B rated prospects. Maybe one or the other, probably Meyer, and then a mid level (C) prospect with a rating in the upper 60's. Not in front of the game right now, but Manny Banuelos comes to mind. Not sure of his rating or potential in the game but I know his value has declined dramatically the last few years. Maybe I am undervaluing Ross but that's my input on it.

Cheers, I did actually consider Banuelos instead of Meyer but wasn't sure as its so tough to value someone who in real life got hurt. I almost always overvalue my own players, so it's probably not the worst thing to overpay once in a while to balance it out

Re: MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

Hey guys, first time posting in here but I've been reading the forums for a while now. Figured it was time to get in on the fun.

Anyways. I'm at All Star break in my 2016 Twins franchise. My prospect pool is fairly good. (Made some trades to dump the likes of Nolasco and Plouffe and got some decent returns). I'm 38-50ish on the season but only 7 games out of 1st in the division. Basically I'm looking to set myself up for next year since realistically even if I wild card this year I can't compete the way I want to. I want to see what I can get for Big Erv., Hughes, Jepsen, and possibly Dozier. I have no plans to resign Jepsen, and though Dozier is playing well Polanco is an All star at Rochester batting .325 and I feel like Dozier might net me something more useful in the long run. Erv and Hughes just cost too much and I need cash to rebuild and sign Sano (.302/26HR) and Buxton(.336/19SB/5HR) to long term deals. Jepsen is throwing well enough for me to sell him as a rental (just under 3 ERA and 10 saves). And looking at the rotations of the other "in the hunt" teams just about all of them could use another solid starter (Erv and Hughes are mid 3's ERA and 6-7 and 7-7 respectively W-L)The Dodgers, Astros, Cubs, Blue Jays and Nats are all tops of their divisions.

Any suggestions? I'm thinking bullpen help (I think I have enough SP prospects but more never hurts particularly with good team control), a future 1st baseman to take over when Mauer retires, or a young 3rd baseman to replace Sano if he moves to 1st or DH.

Re: MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

Whats fair value for McCullers? I simply cant pitch with him. In offseason. Wouldnt mind a pitcher in return of his value or prospects

Ahhhh Tyson Ross. Probably the most difficult player to figure out (to me atleast) in the history of The Show.

Keep in mind I am still playing the Show 15. And Ross is the most up and down pitcher i have ever come across. Both simming AND playing with him. The guy is as inconsistent as they come....of course I am talking about the game itself. He will literally go 8IP, no runs, one or two walks and 7 K to 3.1 IP and 6ER and 1 strikeout.

Having said that, I agree with MoneyMan17. I do not think he is worth a B level prospect if a prospect at all.

Like I said I'm playing on 15, what's he like in the versions after that (16 & 17)?

Re: MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

Starting the '17 season with the Yankees. Was hoping to move Chase Headley this season near the deadline. Not looking for much in return, but where would a realistic landing spot be? Even if I don't get much in return, just looking to shed the salary/make room for some prospects (Torres, Mateo).

I was actually looking at landing spots for Headley myself. I've seen the Braves floated a few times because they want to compete in 2017, and their third base situation is a mess. I know I'd be willing to pay down Headley's contract and add a piece to get Mike Foltynewicz and Rio Ruiz.

Folty has been my Eovaldi dream project for a while now, while I've always had a soft spot for Ruiz. I wonder if there is a trade there if I add something to Headley.

Was wondering how you go about paying down a contract in a trade? Would be willing to do this for Headley
