MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

Re: MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

What about the Marlins then?

Same problem. Both Seattle and Miami have mediocre to poor farm systems.

Case in point, looking at my 2016 BA Prospect Handbook (what a coincidence!), I see they've rated Seattle 28th and Miami 29th out of 30 teams.

Thinking about a package of

Judge, Sanchez, Refsnyder, Gardner and Wade for Stanton. Marlins get a surplus of prospects plus someone to replace Stanton's spot in the Outfield.

Could I get anything for Chase Headley? I'd be willing to take on a bloated contract. Perhaps a back of the rotation arm?

Re: MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

So who's a stable first baseman I could get to the Indians? Would like someone who can do everything well but doesn't have to be a super star, would like to avoid trading Naquin/Zimmer, Frazier or Aiken. Would like to try to do a straight player swap with Santana and a smaller add on my side

You need to offer more for Stanton. Something like Judge, Severino, Mateo, Bird, etc. And I don't the Marlins would want Gardner back in a Stanton trade. Because by trading Stanton they are showing they don't give a **** and want to rebuild again, which in turn would mean trading away Fernandez as well. And build around Yelich and Gordon and whatever prospects they get for Stanton and Fernandez.

Re: MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

Slightly off topic but not really, are you guys planning on doing a spreadsheet this year?

I won't make one this year but I'd appreciate if someone did one as they're a solid reference point

Yeah it's a very useful tool, I used it a lot in the past.

Re: MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

Washington is offering me Michael Taylor + Tyler Moore to me (Blue Jays) for AJ Jimenez + Andy Burns.

Moore is hitting .200 in AAA
Taylor is playing a 4th OF role. Burns is hitting .242 in AAA and can play anywhere on the field. Jimenez is hitting .217 in AAA.

Moore and Burns would be depth pieces for both teams. Jimenez would be backup C because Loboton went down and Taylor would be a platoon option with Saunders. I like it but it seems like I should be giving more.

What's the logic for the other team to trade their better first baseman to you for one that you don't want? You'll need to dip into your prospects or trade away some other position of value (a pitcher perhaps) to get something done here.

Well, Santana is quite cheap. I could see a Hanley or Holliday swap, maybe?

Re: MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

Okay. Maybe this one is more significant. What about Pompey + Happ + Vlad Guerrero Jr to the Reds for Bruce + Cingrani

Illegal on 2/3 counts and an overpay and why would the Reds want Happ

Try to consider what the other team is looking for specifically instead of packaging several parts together.

It won't be illegal in a few months. It's pretty much Bruce for Pompey and Vlad JR. I thought that was a fair price considering he was going cheap according to reports. Happ is there for cap reasons and he could be shipped by the Reds to get another prospect?

If that's not the case I guess I will have to revisit...
