MLB 17 Trade Discussion Thread

Re: MLB 17 Trade Discussion Thread

Starting a franchise with Baltimore and a few guys I'd like input on getting. I'd like to either add cutch to my outfield or Cain from Kansas City. I'd also like to add a starting pitcher and was thinking about Matt Harvey with all the trouble in New York. Only guys that I don't want to trade is davis, Adam Jones and machado. Trumbo, choo and any others can go. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks

The Orioles don't really have much to trade so odds are you can't make these moves. You'll have to shop from a lower shelf

Trumbo and a prospect wouldn't land me one of these three? How about trumbo, choo and one of my top prospects for cutch Lorenzo Cain or matt harvey

Trumbo is expensive, not real valuable and would have no where to play in NY, Pitt and KC only trades Cain if they are rebuilding and Trumbo doesn't help a rebuild.

If that's Shin-Soo Choo he's even more expensive and has little value.

If you want these level guys it will be Sisco plus Bundy or Gausman and working from there.

Re: MLB 17 Trade Discussion Thread

I am about 25 games into my season...or around that and I said the same about Buxton with he wouldn't hit. I actually decided to stick with him and he has been progressing very quickly because of his high potential. He is now hitting i believe .275-.280 and I just kept trowing him out there. Give him some time.

I'm in 2018 though. He's back under .200 and I just hit June. Dude just sucks for me

I really really want him to be an integral part of my franchise too.

By the way I think the draft is way too easy. There's a clear and exact method to find high OVR guys right out of the gate. At least it works for me. Then it's a crapshoot if they have high POT or not.

I don't do any scouting either.

My minor league AA team offensively is absolutely ridiculous. I had a guy hit .407 with 31 RBI in the first month and he already has 50+ RBI in early June and he's hitting like .370. He's a 19 year old 6-5 LF that's a C POT and 75 OVR. My #1 pick is hitting like .340/.350 with great numbers. My team BA might be over .300 in AA. I need to take a deeper look.

Re: MLB 17 Trade Discussion Thread

Thanks so much. I am thinking Martinez is unrealistic as it's a lateral move and they are contending. I might look more into Cain, Kendrick or one of the DBacks. If the standings change in the next month I have good packages for the contending teams as well.

Thanks again!

Cain will definitely take a top 100 prospect to headline his deal. Kendrick is your best bet for a cheap bandaid option

Re: MLB 17 Trade Discussion Thread

What do you all think the value trading for Archie Bradley is. He basically the Long Reliever and 7th man on the depth chart for the Diamondbacks. I'm early in my season but eyeing him as a potential lottery ticket / starter for my franchise later in the season if he isn't producing.

He was the 7th OVR pick in 2013 Draft and is 25 years old. I know in real life he has been really good in the bullpen for the DBACKS after a having trouble in the majors but in franchise he's linger around in Long Relief.


I'm thinking 2 - C prospects

I'm not at my console but I imagine his potential is still very high. He should end up at least a valuable closer. You'll have to do better than a couple C arms for someone with his potential

You should value him similarly to how you would view Dylan Bundy. Except he doesn't have the injury history and injury risk Bundy has

Potential is a 79

2 mid 70's for 79 potential Long Relief pitcher

I don't see why the Diamondbacks do that. How do a few C prospects help them more than Bradley already does. He should have around 5 years of team control. No reason to deal him just to do it

His value may only be 2 C prospects but it would need to make sense for both teams not just the Orioles.

Coming from an Oriole fan. There is nothing available the Orioles can afford to acquire that is really that much better than what is on the team already. Unless you include a Schoop, Gausman (assuming he is pitching well and not like he is in real life) or Bundy you probably won't be happy with the return.

You could maybe package a Sisco and Sedlock for a fringe starting/4th outfielder type but really they probably won't be that much better than what we have already. Only way the O's can afford to acquire a Cain or Cutch would be to trade a Britton or Machado and then take a couple prospects from those deals and flip them for one of those guys but even then if you are trading Britton and Machado it doesn't make sense to do that as we would be rebuilding and would have no need for a rental outfielder and declining guy.

Yea, I figured that. I posted a good mix list of bandaids and solid adds. I have to debate in the next month if I want a Kendrick-like player or push the chips all in for a very solid rental.

With Pearce out for the year and Carrera/Orlando out 2 months I could patch it together until they get back to split duties but Pearce was providing top 3 homers in the league and batting .274 so I have to decide what route I want to take.

Thanks for the advice! I will probably pop back when I get to the deadline with a deal or 2 to smooth out for one of those players based off of the framework provided

Re: MLB 17 Trade Discussion Thread

Sorry if this has been discussed but I used the search and didn't see anything. Is there a consensus on Yasiel Puig to Atlanta? As the Braves I'm hovering around 500 at the deadline in 2017. Dodgers are leading their division easily, but Puig isn't hitting too well about 235 with 10 HRs. Only untouchables for me are Albies/Allard/Maitan. Everyone else is fair game so is there a realistic way I can get this done? Neither Kemp or Markakis are performing for me and I've always hit well with Puig.

Soroka plus Pache or Demeritte should be about right. We decided a while back 2 B prospects but if one is a pitcher that one should be a B+

Re: MLB 17 Trade Discussion Thread

Hey guys, looking for some feedback here. I'm the Nationals and sitting in 1st place by 2 or 3 games in June right now (Not by my PS4). I can't hit with Anthony Rendon to save my life. Would like to know some options on him? Willing to move just about any prospect for the right price too.

Also thought about trading Gio Gonzalez and calling up Erick Fedde unless I trade him.

Would like to either upgrade the MLB ready 3B or OF, willing to take on prospects for future years. What would be some realistic options?

Thanks for the help!
