MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

Re: MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

Hey, long time lurker, first time poster. Two questions, both from the perspective of the Dodgers. First, who would I need to give up to get Wilson Contreras without touching my starting position players, Kershaw, Jansen, Seager, Pederson, and DeLeon?

Secondly, without Kershaw, Seager, Pederson, or Urias, do the Dodgers have enough to get Stanton and Fernandez?

Re: MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

Sorry, Urias off limits in the first scenario as well

Re: MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

2017 regular season just ended
Miami finished an NL East worst 69-93, only Milwaukee, Colorado, and Baltimore had worse records. Jose Fernandez has 1 year before he hits free agency

I'm looking to bring Fernandez to Oakland


MIA gets:
SP Nolan Washington (2016 1st round pick), 20 yo, 74 ovr, 82 po
SP Michael Childs (2016 4th round pick), 20 yo, 73 ovr, 84 pot
2B Franklin Barreto, 21 yo, 71 ovr, 89 pot

OAK gets:
SP Jose Fernandez, 97 ovr

Definite no on Stanton and Fernandez with those kind of restrictions. What else is there aside from those guys you don't want to trade? Certainly nothing worth those guys.

I don't think the Cubs are giving you Willson Contreras either since they'd be buyers not sellers; they'd have no interest in dealing someone who is ready to play for prospects who aren't (since you aren't dealing anybody from your major league club or your best 2 pitching prospects who are ready). Contreras is also a potential monster and it would be hard to give enough value even if you gave them Holmes and a couple of other prospects. To get an idea of Willson Contreras' value right now, think Blake Swihart a year and a half ago.

Not close. No A prospects in that bunch and no real impact players either. Barreto projects as a nice 55/60 FV regular, but Fernandez is an elite ace. The Marlins would have to be floored to deal him and this isn't that close. Frankly, if you're playing as Oakland you wouldn't be able to afford Fernandez's contract extension anyway unless you don't play with budgets (in which case trying for realistic trades isn't going to happen) so I'm not sure it makes sense to target a player like that.

Re: MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

The Twins really don't have another solid DH option after Park. I'm the Twins in my franchise now and Park is my full time DH. It's weird they have him in the bench and Arcia as the DH as he is horrendous against lefties.

I think Arcia is DH against RHP and Park against LHP.

See my thoughts with Stanton were something built around Puig, Frankie Montas, and perhaps Trayce Thompson/Grant Holmes. The Marlins, in mid-May, are not competitive in my franchise... And from recent fire sales made by the Marlins, the salary relief I would provide by taking Stantons contract off their hands would have to count for something. Plus Puig, with his Cuban heritage, would be a great marketing chip in Miami for Loria.

Miami would be giving away Stanton at that price, no way they do that. They want a kings ransom.

Re: MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

Hey guys! I'm doing a 30 team control franchise with the padres and I'm at the All-Star Break.

I was wondering the value of guys that are playing well in the game but do not have much value irl. These are the guys:

Brett Wallace(.257/.295/584, 23 HR, 62 RBI, 1.62 WAR)currently leads the NL in HR's
Matt Kemp(.284/.320/.519, 16 HR, 53 RBI, .51 WAR)the reason for the low WAR is due to the crazy amount of ridiculous errors this game causes and his terrible fielding
Andrew Cashner(2.78 ERA, 1.02 WHIP, 112 SO, 3.26 WAR, 2.75 FIP)I understand he's a rental and not worth as much as if I locked him down.

Teams interested:
Mets(Brett Wallace)- sit atop the division and lack a real power threat as Duda has been terrible.
Nationals(Andrew Cashner)- Tanner Roark is gone for the year and they are only a couple back of the Mets.
Pirates(Brett Wallace)- they are last in the majors in home runs and could definitely use a power threat.
Indians(Matt Kemp)- they are trying to make a run as they were 20 gms under but now are only 6 and within striking distance of the Tigers. They need a corner outfielder as Lonnie Chisenhall isnt getting it done.
White Sox(Andrew Cashner)- They need a 5th starter and they are only 4 back of the tigers. Rodon has a 6.03 ERA and Danks has 4.30.

Sorry for the long post, just wanted to get as much info as possible

Re: MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

Its July 26th 2016 in my franchise and I am looking at doing something like

Red Sox get Teheran 4-8 3.82 ERA 2.8 WAR and Vizcaino 25 saves 0.62 WAR

Braves get Benintendi .292 15HR 57 RBI 12 SB in AA and Kopech 5-6 4.23 ERA 124 SO 112 Innings

I assume I have to give up another peice but I am not sure how valuable it needs to be. I could maybe give up a bit more and get B. Davidson back, I read some Braves fans think Wren might push for a few of his guys back in a trade and after Benintendi leaves my OF prospect depth is pretty bad unless I shift YM to LF, which I might due if the game doesn't start forcing Pedroias ratings to nosedive soon.

Unlike a lot of my fellow fans I understand that you have to lose talent to get it and as much as losing nintendo sucks the Red Sox need a young starter with team control and both these arms have at least three years of control I think.

Could Owens be another peice, unlike real life, he is pitching well in AAA 7-6 2.71 134 SO 138 Innings

The Braves would probably want MLB ready talent for these two. I'd go with the following:

Yoan Moncada
Michael Kopech
Blake Swihart
and someone to offset some of the $ (maybe Joe Kelly or Rusney Castillo)

Re: MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

Sorry for taking so long but a couple of days ago I posted that I was looking at acquiring a starting pitcher who was a lefty and Drew Pomeranz is number one on my list. SOmeone asked for some of his numbers so here they are.
Drew Pomeranz 2-2 in 8 starts 54.1 IP, 22 BB, 39 SO, 1.82 ERA, 1.18 WHIP, WAR 1.13

He is having a pretty decent season so far but it is relatively early. As of right now I am willing to offer packages of
SP Alex Meyer B Potential
SP Kohl STewart B potential
RF/1B Max Kepler B potential

or

SP Tyler Jay A potential
SP Kohl Stewart B potential

ANy thoughts? These are not offers as they are just starting points.

We had a thing like this a few pages back. Unless you're willing to give up legit pieces don't bother asking for Jose Fernandez, Chris Sale, Giancarlo Stanton, Mike Trout, Bryce Harper etc.

We all know the Marlins asked for Urias AND Seager this past off season for Fernandez. Fernandez is pitching lights out right now so why would they lower their price? The same goes with Stanton. Power like his doesn't grow on trees. Puig's value is at an all time low, Montas has injury issues and has already had a rib removed because of problems. Trace Thompson isn't a piece that gets people excited for an elite slugger.

Unfortunately your thinking would be incompatible with the Marlins' thinking. They will hold onto Stanton at least until his contract escalates in 2018/he opts out. Aside from that, the package of Puig (a massive downgrade from Stanton and somebody that Dodgers fans want run out on a rail anyway/Mattingly would not want back) + Montas (a likely relief pitcher) + etc isn't even close. You'd need to put Seager in there or one of De Leon/Urias. Maybe Seager and one of those pitchers to even get Miami to not slam the phone down on you.

And this is just for Stanton! Your original thought was phrased as if you wanted to get Stanton and Fernandez for 2nd tier assets. No way, Jose.

I don't see why Teheran would require Moncada as opposed to Benintendi. I also don't think you can dump Rusney's ridiculous money on them - I guess if you're sending Moncada but it makes the deal way more complicated than it has to be.

Too early in the season. I'd revisit this in June/July.
