MLB 17 Trade Discussion Thread

Re: MLB 17 Trade Discussion Thread

well Kelvin Herrera to the Angels probably wouldn't happen cuz of the lack of prospects the Angels have, but if you are using the OSFM draft roster it would probably take Meyer, Adell, Thaiss. to get Cesear Hernandez probably two C prospects

I guess maybe I'm undervaluing Hererra here. I thought he was a free agent after this year but I looked and realized I was incorrect as he's controllable through next year as well. I don't want to be rude at all, but I feel like that might be a bit of a large return for Herrera. He's obviously a very good, very valuable pitcher but I feel like his value might be more on par with the returns for multiple years of Will Smith (decent young MLB talent with upside in Susac and a far away low B prospect in Bickford) or rental Mark Melancon (solid young MLB P in Rivero and far away C prospect in Hearn) than one nearing an Andrew Miller-esque level of return. Do you think like Meyer + Brandon Marsh (B POT A ball prospect) might fit based on that model?

I said that because Herrera is a great reliever granite he isn't on the level of a chapman but with the angels farm system they don't really have any spectacular players in there farm system which is why I said that return

No team makes more head scratching trades than the A's. A reliever having a bad year and two guys who didn't make BA's organizational Top 10, though they're both in MLB's, for two pretty damn good relievers.

Maybe they'll give me Gray for Mato + Adams after all.

My guess is the Nats took all of Madson's money and Doolittle's injury history hurt his value

Re: MLB 17 Trade Discussion Thread

Just read on MLB Trade Rumors that Cubs were interested in Stroman. Looks like the Blue Jays would want a MLB player back in return. What would it likely take? Here are the stats from Stroman and the players I have interest in from the Cubs.

Stroman: 9-7, 3.71 ERA, 1.23 WHIP 104 K, 2.3 WAR in 128.2 IP

Baez: .288/.283/.335 5 HR, 28 RBI, 5 SB, -0.6 WAR in 272 AB
Happ: .248/.306/.400 6 HR, 27 RBI, 2 SB, -0.4 WAR in 145 AB
Schwarber: .273/.386/.486 17 HR, 49 RBI 4 SB, 2.1 WAR in 286 AB
Candelario: .291 with 4 HR, 21 RBI in 199 AB in AAA

I would like to get one of the above players (Preferably Baez/Happ + Candelerio or a pitcher for Stroman + add's if required.)

Thanks!

I am biased because I love watching Stroman pitch and think he'd be awesome in Chicago.

I think you could get Schwarber... it was reported that the Cubs offered him to Detroit before the break. Maybe someone else can do the math to see if you could also get Candelario... sorry I'm busy but top of my head says yes.

I don't think the Cubs are trading Baez.

I would take Schwarber. Him, Pillar and Conforto (from Donaldson trade) would be alright for next year. I would like to get Candelario as well though to replace JD at 3B next year.

I am looking at Schwarber + Candelario + Brett Anderson for Stroman. Is this okay?

They aren't gonna trade two guys off their 25 man and only get one in return.

Also, do the Cubs have Quintana?

Well Anderson has been in AAA all year. Quintana is on the roster. I would take Schwarber + Candelario if that would work better. Maybe change Anderson to a career minor league C player?

The bluejays don't want junk. No reason to send em a career minor leaguer. Schwarber, Candelario and a legit C prospect would do it, but some might say it's an overpayment.

You should get a second opinion.

Thanks a lot! I just wanted to make sure that the deals were realistic. Thanks again.

Re: MLB 17 Trade Discussion Thread

All depends on how high or low you are on both Stroman and Schwarber. Both guys look like they could be studs or duds and at this point the Cubs would be selling low on Schwarber. I'm not sure the Cubs would trade anyone on their 25-man at this point but you never know, I would do Schwarber for Stroman straight up but Schwarber + Candelario + a C pitching prospect wouldn't be crazy.

What if I tossed back a left RP like Loup?
