MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

Re: MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

And I disagree completely. Moncada is only 20, DeGrom is 27. The Red Sox spent $60+ million on him for a reason. And realistically they aren't moving at all as Dembrowski has said numerous times. They aren't moving him for anything less than a guy like Thor. They would want a young cheap ace. Also he has shown no signs of slowing down either and should be called up to double A by the end of May. And hell he might even make his MLB debut in September. Also Moncada had not played baseball for something like 2-3 years before he was signed out of Cuba.

DeGrom is the closest thing to a cheap young ace you will see traded this side of Josh Beckett

Yankees franchise, Looking to potentially unload Chase Headley as I might try to convert Refsnyder or Mateo to third base for the future. What could I get bak for him?

Headley has no value. In fact he has a very negative value.

You could essentially pay for someone to take him (take back a contract that's just as bad), but at that point it's really just counterproductive.

Re: MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

I am thinking about starting a Cincinatti Reds re-build franchise. I would like to trade Joey Votto. What do you think would be a realistic haul for Votto? Thinking of potential destinations such as Texas, Toronto, or Boston.

TEX: Brinson + Tate/Ortiz + a lesser piece like Jurado/Beras/Matuella

TOR: Alford + Greene/Reid-Foley + Tellez + a lottery ticket type

BOS: Benintendi + Kopech + Travis + a lottery guy like Chavis maybe?

That's just a start. Obviously there are different combinations to toy with but I think some of those guys are realistic.

The huge contract is the kicker here (and the NTC if you're going for realism). I still think Votto is very valuable. Any team looking to acquire Votto will be giving up a lot to get him.

You could have the Reds take back a bad contract to emulate them paying some of the money on his mega-deal, but that would cost more prospects.. It's all user preference.

I'd be very interested to see what everyone else thinks about Votto's value so we can refer to that discussion every time it pops up (it will again, I'm sure). I'm not really set on the deals above, but like I said, it's a decent start. Could be more/less..

Thanks for the very detailed response. I will likely start my franchise and let the first couple of months play out and then determine who is in position to make a run. I will try to piece something together around the All Star Break based on your recommendations. I likely will have to take money back just to get the trade to work with the budgets in the game so will try to take back a bad contract on an expiring deal.

Re: MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

What's the value of Colby Rasmus ? I'm wanna add Jake Marisnick to my everyday line-up, to take advantage of his speed and defense, and although I could probably use Rasmus as a DH, I wouldn't mind trading him if I could get some value.

Pieces I could be looking for: pitching (mainly bullpen), someone to platoon 3B with Luis Valbuena, depth in the outfield to replace Rasmus in my 25-man roster, or a decent prospect I could spend some time developping.

Any suggestion of teams that would be interested in Rasmus ?

Re: MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

Considering they are really cheap to get, a low C Prospect or even a couple D Prospects....


I like to get a good utility guy that can play nearly everywhere. I also look to target good role players, guys that can do one thing Particularly well.

Re: MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

In my Yankee franchise (first time using having budgets on) so I'm not sure how I feel about paying Chapman after the season so I am looking to trade him at the all star break. Earlier I had traded Jorge Mateo in a package to acquire Nolan Arenado so behind Didi I am very weak at shortstop.

If the Twins are in contention near the all star break is Nick Gordon for Chapman a fair deal? Should I be giving up more? Should they be giving up more?

If not, any ideas on a shortstop prospect I can acquire for Chapman?

Doubtful the Twins would want Chapman. Not really a need

But value wise the deal is fair

Top of my head is Brock Holt (BOS), Alexi Amirista (SD), Andy Burns (TOR), Bonifacio (??), Sean Rodriguez (PIT), Mike Aviles (DET), Kelly Johnson (ATL), Ryan Rua (TEX), Elliot Johnson (FA). Don't know if this helps or not. Is this the kind of player you are looking for?

Re: MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

What would a deal look like for Freeman to the Jays in the off season? I just let Jose and Edwin walk and have some cash and would love Freeman batting somewhere between Donaldson & Tulo. He seems like a solid fit, just depends on the cost prospect wise if I can fill it.

I may be biased, but a whole lot. The Jays only have 1 top 100 prospect in Alford, so I don't know that they have enough to make it happen. If they did it would probably start with Alford, Pentecost, and probably someone like Reid-Foley.


If he was going to Boston for example it would probably be something like Benintendi plus Espinoza which is more valuable than any two Toronto could put together.


I would like to hear what others have to say about this, but it would definitely take a lot, and the Braves need impact bats.

With Hanley Hustle playing pretty good first base I hope any Freeman to Boston rumors are quelled, plus they've got Sam Travis down in AAA and many people within organization like him a lot

The point was A: to show his value by using another team as an example, I could have used Pittsburgh or Houston and B: that every AL team could find room for a player like Freeman. Even if they have a solid 1B they still have a DH.

Plus Hanley has been worth -.2 WAR so far this season and 6.4 WAR since 2013. Freeman has been worth 0 WAR so far this season and 12.6 WAR since 2012. Hanley is 32 years old and Freddie is 26. One is on the back end of their "prime" while the other is just hitting theirs.

I think you're over valuing Freeman. He's a good player, pretty solid offensively and good with the glove, but to expect 2 that high level of prospects for him is over doing it..... Just my opinion tho
