MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

Re: MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

I'm thinking of trading Castellanos in my Tigers franchise. I like him, think he still has good potential, but I need someone better defensively. He already has four errors for me. And we are in a win-now mode, so we can't wait for his defense to catch up, or his bat to truly develop. Now I would like to get an MLB-ready third baseman to take his place, but don't know who to target. Or what it would take to get them. I'm just hoping for something including Castellsnos

You're gonna have to give up Castellanos and a slew of young prospects, at least. If the farm rosters in the game bear any resemblance to the Tigers' real life farm system, then I'm afraid you do not have much to offer in that regard. Our (I'm a Tigers fan too) system is quite depleted.


As with the real life Tigers, I think you're stuck with Nick for a while. Take the good with the bad: his bat is above average and he's been improving on defense. I had a dream that we traded him for Manny Machado. Great dream, that one.

Re: MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

Maybe something could be worked out with Chisenhall/Jose Ramirez or Trevor Plouffe and Castellanos?

Re: MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

What would it take to get one or two of

Danny Farquhar
Sergio Romo
Yimi Garcia
Andrew Chafin
Kevin Siegrist or Jordan Walden
Michael Blazek
Rex Brothers
Carter Capps
Charlie Furnish

For the Indians. I would feel much better about my season with legit BP guys than resting hopes in just reclaimation projects like Stammen, Hunter and Chamberlain.

Pablo Sandoval can be had super cheap right now, if your willing to take on the contract. Can probably get a decent prospect attached to him too.

Sale to Houston. What would it take

Correa, Springer +

Re: MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

Correa, Springer +

Probably a high end prospect or two as well. Which in The Show is kind of impossible when you can only offer three.

That's when you take the worst player in the organization back in return. At least that's what I do when making a trade like this.

Realistically, Castellanos will not be dealt anytime soon. His deal is team friendly and the Tigers think he still has potential. A lot of ML 3B tend to blossom later in their careers (moustakas, josh d, frazier, etc.) The idea you want to swap player for player of the same position does not occur often and to get an upgrade over Nick you'd have to add a few pieces into the trade which would create holes elsewhere considering the Tiger's farm is barren.

Re: MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

Saw him mentioned earlier in the thread and got me wondering..

What is James Shields value? If I take on his contract would the Pads be willing to dump him for a bag of balls?

Re: MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

Running with the Blue Jays....

Would like to get rid of Dickey... hate him as a player in real life... don't want to play with him in game... another pitcher of equal or better talent with prospects maybe going as leverage. And or upgrade LF...

Dunno, anyone traded him yet?

Re: MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

Correa, Springer +

Correa alone would be an overpay IMO. Am I just crazy?

edit: Sale's contract is super team friendly and that's got a lot of value but he pitches every 5 games. Correa plays every game. The kid is barely 21 and had he played the whole season last year he could have had .300/25/80 or better. He even had a good post season. Maybe I'm just delusional. And yes I do think Sale is arguably a top 5 pitcher, too.

I mean I'm not going to call you crazy. But pitchers value higher than other positions. We're talking about a Top 3 pitcher in the MLB. Some would consider him the best. That requires a lot of value.

And he is on a 3+ year contract that is very cheap.

I wouldn't call him the best.. still a little off from Kersh but he's in the argument for top 5. MadBum, Jose, Keuchel, Arrieta, Darvish, Tanaka, Gray, Gerrit Cole, Price, Greinke, Cueto, Felix, Lester etc.

But you're asking for a 21 year old generational player who is still years away from his prime. He didn't even play a full season and was a top-2 shortstop in the league. You're also asking to package one of the best young stars in the league along with Springer who has fairly good trade value considering he was a top prospect and still could turn out to be a good power hitting OF if he ever finds his mark. Injuries have not helped his cause. Then.. you want another one of the Astro's young pieces (Reed, Bregman, Cameron?). I don't see how it makes sense.
