Re: MLB 17 Trade Discussion Thread

So after another part of the Matt Harvey saga how much is his true value now. I'm around the same time in my Padres chise and actually thinking of picking him up. What about Ryan Butcher (they are stuggling in the pen) and (1 B prospect and a C) or (2 C prospects). I'm gonna bump his rating down a little to because of all this and his potential.

What about Butcher, Tatis Jr and Paddack

Curious what an Ian Happ deal to Philadelphia would look like.

Aaron Nola or Velasquez plus

Re: MLB 17 Trade Discussion Thread

I'm trying to think of a young DH type player to trade for before I start my franchise with my Red Sox. My first question is: 1) Who are some good targets? and 2) What would it take for someone like MIN 1B Kennys Vargas or BAL 1B Trey Mancini

Vargas, Byung Ho Park, Victor Martinez, Tomas are some good options

What would it take to bring Marcel Ozuna, Jake Lamb or Sonny Gray to the Padres?

Re: MLB 17 Trade Discussion Thread

Was offered Adam Wainwright for Jacoby Ellsbury straight up (Fowler has been out with a knee injury and won't be back for 2-3 more weeks)

35 years old and in the last year of his contract. Mmmmmm

I just benched Jacoby indefinitely in my Yankees franchise and put in Aaron Hicks.

Also was offered Ben Revere from the Angels.

Thoughts on dumping Ellsbury??

I have 7 offers out there...but those two stuck out as pretty fair IMO.

I like the Ellsbury/Wainwright offer. I think it helps both teams. And STL has some pitching depth to cover the loss of Wainwright.

Are those offers come to you on a screen or do you go the to trade screen and select Ellsbury and shop all offers?

I think you'd have to add a bit of a prospect to Ellsbury. He's not worth his contract at this point. Also in 3 weeks when Fowler is back what do the Cards do with Ellsbury? Make him a $20+ million a year 4th OF?

Kyle Schwarber would be a great get as a DH for you. Likely cost a couple good prospects. Although, he is really just a bat-first player and if he's not hitting, he doesn't really make up for it by doing anything else really well (speed, defense).

Re: MLB 17 Trade Discussion Thread

I'm torn. Part of me wants to trade Glasnow and get Quintana to push for the wild card. But on the other side I want the challenge of making Glasnow better. He is 4-2 with a 5.00 ERA so far. He started the season in the rotation and then went to the bullpen and now is a starter again. He has been pitching better but just can't seem to finish off the batter. 2 starts ago he went 6 innings and allowed 2 runs and the last start I had a 5-1 lead in the 5th inning and he gave up a couple hits to make it 5-2 and had the bases loaded with nobody out before I had to pull him. I was struggling to leave him in there to try for the win or risk losing the lead all together. So I'm torn on what to do.

The Red Sox couldn't get Schwarber. If the Cubs weren't willing to move him for Andrew Miller, what do the Sox have that they would actually trade that would get the Cubs attention?

Who knows, but not trading for Andrew Miller could end up being a mistake. Time will tell. So far, he isn't hitting this year. I know he's basically a rookie due to not having a ton of plate appearances, but I feel like the Cubs would have been wise to trade him while his value was highest. I predicted before this season they would deal him next off-season in a deal for young pitching as they have guys on their bench who can play everyday with no room (Almora and Baez) and have guys on their way up likely this season (Happ, Candalerio called up today, Jimenez in next few years).

That is a actual good debate. Did the Cubs really win the Chapman trade? I'm a huge Cubs fan and I'm grateful for the championship after all these years. But, we lost 2 good prospects in the trade and no Chapman. Yes the Cubs obviously won the trade if you look at it as they won the World Series that is the ultimate goal. But could the Cubs have gone to the Royals to get Wade Davis for less last year? Could Wade Davis have won them the world series? Who knows. I would like to see the Cubs get Quintana. That way the Cubs could let Arrieta walk after this year if the money is too high.

They won the World Series and Schwarber played a big part in that win. He came back and hit. Even when his bat is down he has a good OBP (.321)

Why are you more willing to view his 137 PA of an 88 wRC+ this season as his bat not being what is expected over the 273 PA he had in 2015 where his wRC+ was a 132? He's still extremely valuable. There was no mistake in trading prospects to win a World Series. That's the ultimate goal and they achieved it even though they paid a ton in prospect capital.

Since you're convinced the Cubs should move him, what do you think the Red Sox would need to give up?
