MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

Re: MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

Would Conforto be available from the Mets for any of Bautista, Edwin, Dickey?

What would the mets add to Wheeler for Bautista? Wheeler was supposed to go for Gomez last deadline but obviously Bautista (or Edwin) are more valuable at least in my opinion.

Would the Cubs trade an injured Schwarber for Bautista to help with their championship run?

And no chance on Gallo from Texas, even if it was Bautista+Dickey and I took back Hamiltons contract?

No, I don't see Texas doing that.

Re: MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

I am trying to acquire Derek Norris from the Padres to come play for the Twins. Suzuki got hurt and it out 6+ months, and John Ryan Murphey isn't cutting it for me. How much should I be giving up for Norris?


(I am using OSFM 1.5)

Any suggestions?

Re: MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

Okay. That's fine. But Jose Reyes still isn't worth Jake Thompson. Thompson is a very good player and Jose Reyes does not have positive value, most likely.

Thank you, thats all I was looking for. I appreciate it.

I was looking for a near complete salary dump, and all I could muster was for Carlos Ruiz and Thompson. I dont need/want Ruiz, so I am just gonna eat Jose's contract and not let him play.

I also wanna apologize, and hope I didnt come off rude in my last response. Was not my intention.

Re: MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

Any suggestions?

Kohl Stewart or Jorge Polanco and a mid C type of prospect, probably.

Thank you sir! I'll be looking around and seeing if I'll pull the trigger.

Re: MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

Hey guys, finally settled on an Angels franchise.

I'm currently early in the season sitting at 12-10, but I'm already thinking about what direction I want to move the team in. I think I'm going to be trying to ship a lot of guys off because the division is extremely competitive (every team but Texas has 11 wins or more). So I'm looking to trade the following players. Not exactly sure yet where I want to trade everyone except most likely that I'm looking to trade Andrelton Simmons to the Pirates or White Sox and Kole Calhon to the White Sox.

Could I get a Josh Bell from the Pirates for a Simmons, or am I targeting too high?

Obviosly I doubt Carson Fulmer is an option for us unless we trade both Simmons and Calhon to the Sox, who could I mix in with someone like an Adam Eaton as a prospect, for just Calhon?

Does Graig Gentry have any value? Hector Santiago? Tyler Skaggs? Matt Shoemaker? Who can I pair and where should I aim them to get a good prospect?

Also planning on trading Yunel Escobar, he's currently hitting .396 leading the MLB. I like Giavotella too much to trade him, unless he's got great value.

Of course hopefully in a week I'll be at the trade deadline and I'll have more concrete ideas, but I'd greatly appreciate it if you guys could help with some suggestions on teams to trade each player to and what letter potential guys I should be looking for.

Re: MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

I'm looking to re-start a franchise with the Brewers, I'd like to move both Braun and Lucroy. I'm willing to move just about any of my prospects. I'm also open to trading just about any other player currently on the MLB Roster, outside of Gennett. I'm looking for OF, 1B (Platoon w/Carter if Carter is still on team) 3B and P. Can anyone give some guidance on who I could target with these two players? I would really like to tap into the Texas farm system (Gallo, Mazara, Tate, Brinson, etc.). But I'm open to dealing with anyone. I know Boston (in the game) was willing to build a package around Devers for Lucroy.

I also can add for you that the Astros have been looking to deal for Lucroy. However you probably can't get as much from them. I think maybe from the Rangers you're looking at a Jurickson Profar because he has nowhere to go in the system, and maybe a solid B prospect as will along with a high C.

Re: MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

Just wanted to hear your guys opinions what are your guys opinions on a Jackie Bradley/Pitching prospect swap with the phils for Odubel Herrera.

Had also come up with this deal for the Padres,

Pablo Sandoval, Ryan Hanigan, Josh Rutledge for Matt Kemp?

If that doesn't work I would consider trading for Khris Davis or David Peralta.

Also, what would be the possible landing spots if i was to trade Rick Porcello assuming I acquired another starter?

Is that too much for matt kemp?

Yeah, just because the game wanted to do Devers for Lucroy doesn't mean that's a good starting point. Trade logic has been fixed to a point but it's still nowhere near perfect. I don't think he's worth Gallo/Mazara/Tate/Brinson, and definitely not Devers either.

We just talked about a Lucroy to Texas deal a few pages back. Profar + Luke Jackson was something that was thrown out there. I suggested a package around Luis Ortiz and Matuella. Lucroy's value (to me at least) is somewhere in the neighborhood of a lower end T100 prospect + a fringe low B/high C type of prospect that's sort of a lottery ticket.

Is that too much for matt kemp?

You're kind of just dumping three guys on the Padres for Kemp. None of those guys have any value and Sandoval's atrocious contract looks even worse now that he lost the job out of spring training. Sure Kemp's contract is bad, but I'm sure the Padres wouldn't be cool with swapping Kemp for Sandoval unless there was a prospect attached (doesn't have to be anything special).

Trading Simmons pretty unrealistic, given that they just acquired him. Guessing that's not a factor, so I'll move on from that. Josh Bell for Simmons is totally do-able, you're not reaching too high there. They gave up Newcomb for Simmons, so Josh Bell plus another prospect could be done.. Find a bad contract to take back (since PIT doesn't have a ton of money + Simmons makes a lot) and your return could be better.

Yeah, really doubt the Sox give up Carson Fulmer. Simmons would block Tim Anderson, who is almost ready. I'd look for different trading partners, and I'd say to about anyone looking to acquire prospects from the White Sox.

Gentry, probably not unless he's playing very well. Santiago and Shoemaker could have value to any team that needs innings eaters around the deadline.. Skaggs is coming off of TJS, so probably not until he pitches some. If you're determined to trade him, wait until the next year in your franchise.

Escobar hitting like that has some value, but it's limited because he's 33 years old. Any team that needs 3B or 2B help would send a decent (not a top 100) prospect for that kind of production.

Giavotella does not have great trade value, so you're correct there. Wait until you're closer to the deadline to see what each team needs/wants and go from there is my best advice, really.

I know they recently signed him, but if you can get a really solid prospect for him I think Simmons moving makes sense. Plus he's going to a Pirates team that really has needed a shortstop for years now. If the Angels aren't going anywhere, I think it makes sense to trade guys with value.

Re: MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

I'm looking to move Jacoby Ellsbury in my franchise once things get rolling with the OSFM Hybrid. Obviously, we're looking for a bad contract swap. Two guys come to mind, and I'm curious for thoughts to make the following two trades happen:

Ellsbury for Robinson Cano, willing to take on rest of Cano's contract and/or add/take players to make it happen. Would love to somehow make it include Taijuan Walker too if possible, but not holding my breath.

Ellsbury for Shin-Soo Choo. Would love to find a way to get Joey Gallo as well if there a package that makes sense, but like with Walker, I'm not holding my breath on this one either.

Thoughts?

Why would the Padres trade Kemp for 3 below average MLB regulars. If they rebuild they would want prospects not your used parts. Including Pablo means a top end prospect would be needed to work through the negative value Pablo has.

Lol I forgot the Mariners signed Cano through his 40th birthday.

Even with that being said I don't think they're looking to move him. They've got a competitive window that's shrinking with Felix also getting older. Don't see a real reason why'd they want to take on Elsbury's deal while giving up Cano. Absolutely no way you pull Cano and Walker though..

Mateo/Judge + for Seattle to think about trading Walker.

Choo is signed for a year less and makes 4 million less per year for 2016 and 2017, then will make a million or so less for the remainder of his deal. Really don't see any reason for Texas to do that swap unless Ellsbury is playing out of his mind (then you wouldn't want to trade him). Just like Walker, Gallo being involved in any deal for Ellsbury isn't fair or realistic.
