Re: MLB 17 Trade Discussion Thread

Bichette and Zeuch should do it. I don't think the Padres would want McGuire anyway.

You think Solarte is going to put you in the World Series? Daniel Murphy he is not!

Thanks man! Yea I don't think he's the answer but you all have spoken and Murphy isn't realistic even with them in last place. I am in first, but a few injuries have been setting be back the past little while. I have one more series before the all star break and feel I have to make a couple moves to put me over the top.

I figure I could grab Solarte after this series and work another trade or 2 prior to the end of the month. I'll likely be back with another trade scenario or 2 soon! Any suggestions are welcomed!

Don't take my word as gospel... I have no idea what the Padres would do. But I am confident that the Nats wouldn't trade Murphy unless they were tearing down. They love him in Washington.

But pitching prospects are valuable and your guy seems to have good control of his frame, which is sometimes the biggest worry with tall guys (see Tyler Glasnow). And Bichette can rake IRL and has good ratings in game so it seems a good deal for SD.

I'm playing with Hybrid rosters so what I'm looking at might be very different from your roster set?

What could I get for Dalton Pompey!?

2 C prospect (value wise) or I'd like a 4th OF with power..possible candidate?

Nah man your opinion is good. Gamecocks also confirmed it so that's fine. That's why I come here. I get ideas that work for me but love to run it by guys here to keep me right.

Yea I'm just finishing up my final 4 games before the break then I'll pull the trigger on the SD deal. Think I might try and unload Goins to someone looking for SS help and might make a deal for a depth bat/bullpen arm.

Just fired up my Braves franchise (end of April) and the first thing that happened was that the Padres (2-15) traded Hand to the Blue Jays (10-7) for Vlad Jr.

What are the odds?!!

Hahah wow let's hope I don't have too many beers while playing tonight and make that deal by mistake must be fate. I am excited to get Solarte. Have 2 more games to go until the break. Getting anxious to bulk the trigger!

Re: MLB 17 Trade Discussion Thread

Just started June, Mets are third in the division, 14 games back (7.5 from Wild Card). Playoffs looking unlikely, but I want to have a pop. I'm a Brit just getting into the sport properly this year after years of kind of half paying attention (too many games!), so I'm not that familiar with how trades tend to go in baseball (avid NFL/NHL fan, so trades aren't a totally foreign concept to me). Anywho, I'm not getting lot of offense, pitching is lights out as you'd expect since Harvey isn't a goof and Syndergaard isn't broken as they are IRL. I seem to get either a solo or two run homer or two or a bunch of singles that never amount to anything. I want more extra base hits, and I think I need to get more speed to do it - Reyes is the only one rated over 70 for speed. I'm not really sure where to look though.

I don't want to move Conforto, Walker or Reyes, anyone else potentially fair game, especially Cabrera as I cannot get a hit with him to save my life. Don't want to do too much with the rotation either as I had to trade Montero to the Rangers for a catcher to replace TdA who's injured (Rivera and Plawecki have been godawful in relief).

Any ideas?

Re: MLB 17 Trade Discussion Thread

Has anyone came across this issue yet. I can't seem to make trades despite force trades on. I have tried to acquire Howie Kendrick and now Solarte and when I propose the trade it comes up interesting offer, but not what we are looking for. I even tried Donaldson and Sanchez for Solarte and same message. This is annoying me. Any info would be greatly appreciated

Re: MLB 17 Trade Discussion Thread

In my franchise Jose Abreu is having not only a career year but a insanely great year. He's hitting .349/.627/.382. He leads the league in Hits, HRs ,RBIs if the season were to end he would win the triple crown. I would like to gauge his value since im on the fence on trading him away. Hes most of my offense if not all of it and im currently contending because of it. Honestly i am considering trading him away because i am rebuilding and i just dont have enough to get thru the post season if i get there.

Edit: Also leading is AVG.

Don't mean to be one of those guys to bump their own post but I think my post got lost back there

Have you actually tried offering the trade? If you offer it it might ask if you want to force the trade.

Looks like he's having a great year. That'll boost his value but at the same time, bat only corner guys got nothing in FA this year. If you find the right fit though, you could get a couple solid prospects for him.

Yea I have offered tons of trades and can't seem to get one to accept/force unless it's suggested by the computer. Give it a try. I bet it gets rejected.

Thanks for any help you can give me.

Re: MLB 17 Trade Discussion Thread

IM a thing the trade deadline in my braves franchise and am 2 games out of wild card. Decided I am going to go for Brock holt who is on the trade block. Holt has a slash line of .260/318/414. What would it cost me to get him from Boston?

I am also looking for a fourth outfielder. What would it cost to get ben revere? .249/295/386 with a four million dollar contract.
