oh man that's gonna cost a lot and I don't think the Cardinals would be with giving up both of them even if they suck imo. Both are young, Grichuk is under control for 4 years still (2 under contract and 2 arb)and Piscotty has a super affordable deal with 5 years left. The Giants farm isn't that hot at all so in my estimation you're looking at giving up your top prospect Vazquez (#65 prospect in mlb) before anything else. I popped the game in to see what the cpu would accept and it looks like they won't take anything that doesn't involve an MLB level player. The way i see it you'd have to send them Shark along with Vazquez and maybe another B to land one of the bullpen arms too.

I don't think it's worth both of the outfielders but Grichuk and Cecil while still a little steep in price would probably set you back like Reynolds (CF, 22, B) Quinn (RF, 21, B) and Beede (RHP, 23, B)

Re: MLB 17 Trade Discussion Thread

I would be only looking at one of them not both, I'm happy with Pence and Span, just need a different LF with some power, I drafted quite well and got a 3 B prospects including a SP so I could move Beede and not lose sleep

Re: MLB 17 Trade Discussion Thread

The other option would be Jorge Solar from KC, he is splitting time with the rookie they have Bonaficio (I think) he is hitting at .210, 10 HR, 20 RBI, KC have the 2nd worse record in Baseball and are going where real quick, I was also going to look at some relievers for them

Or I was looking at Castillo from the Red Sox (he is in AAA Ball)

The Sox irl would pay someone to take Castillo so that'd definitely be your best bet lmao. Probably wouldn't take much at all to get him because of his lack of MLB production along with that contract. As for the Royals you could definitely put an offer in for Herrera without losing more than like a pair B's and a C

What about Solar and Herrera then?

I would say 2 high level B's (Bascially your 2 best guys not named Vazquez) and a lower B. Unless you wanna throw in Vazquez then you're looking at him and the like 2 C's with hit or miss potential.

Re: MLB 17 Trade Discussion Thread

What is the price of a 27-year old Jonathan Villar, basically a .265 hitter with still elite speed and a 3-4 WAR player in the last year of his contract? I'm in 2019, and the Angels need a 2B to lead off and allow FA pick up Eduardo Nunez to move to the bottom of the lineup.

Also, what would it cost for the Twins to get Julio Tehran? He's 28, and basically averaged right around a 3.30 ERA since 2017, and the Twins desperately need a starter to make the playoffs.

Again, I'm more looking for a cost in potentials.

One of the underrated LF power bats is OAK Khris Davis. Plus, it's the A's so pretty much anything is realistic.

What return could I get for Kevin Pillar? His stats are similar to real life. I was looking to acquire a almost really MLB starter prospect + a borderline starter MLB 2B. Or a almost ready 2B prospect and a 4th/5th starter. Is this a realistic base? If so, any ideas of what teams may be interested?

Pillar's contract is stupid affordable and he's not up for free agency until 2021 so that's definitely playing on your favor. Add in he's a top 3 defensive CF with good speed and an okay bat I think you could easily land a 4/5 starter. As for the 2nd baseman I think by himself he might not land you a really good almost MLB ready 2nd baseman along with the starter. If you were really about it adding Vlad Jr could easily net you a super solid MLB second baseman with a 3/4 maybe even a 2 starter. As for specific players i'd have to know who the contenders and rebuilders are in your franchise.

Devon Travis isn't that bad imo is he not performing well for you?

I wouldn't want to add Vlad as I'm going to rebuild. I will post a list of contenders and rebuilders later when I fire up the PS4. Travis isn't bad but he ends up on the DL more than not. I plan on dealing him and Travis before August ends.

Re: MLB 17 Trade Discussion Thread

So I just noticed something when looking at the Nats about the Leon deal. Strasburg is out the rest of the season with a torn rotator cuff. So I was thinking, maybe add Pomeranz to that deal? Something like...

Nationals Receive: Drew Pomeranz, Brandon Workman, Sandy Leon

Red Sox Receive: Enny Romero, Austin Voth, Rafael Martin, Pedro Severino, Michael Taylor

Or is this too much, I tossed in Martin because of the void from Workman, plus I figured he's a 32 year old with D potential who has struggled in AAA. If that isn't too much, would adding Lobaton push it over the top. He's only batting .182, but if I go through with this trade, I'd like to still have some sort of veteran behind the plate, even though Vazquez would be the main guy. Severino would go to AAA and probably come up in September or in the event of an injury.

Yeah that one seems good to me, I think you're getting more potential impact talent than the other Pom deal and that seems like a fair trade. I'm sure they'd throw on Lobaton.

Re: MLB 17 Trade Discussion Thread

Crap! Overpaid haha. I could try to do a minor deal where I ''fleece'' the CPU to balance it out. I'm always scared to exploit AI.


during season 2 (Kept Albies in AAA for 2 years) I traded for Villar at 2B (posted on here for value).


Then, Albies made MLB debut (I've signed Donaldson at 3B) so I switched Villar to CF (unrealistic but it was on his secondary positions so I allowed myself to do it and Villar is too prone to injuries in the diamond).




It allows me to play a real LF in Polanco, put Tyler Austin at his natural position (RF) and keep Villar as my CF.


Who you think I could have gotten? I tried to work around standings & team needs.

Off the top of my head, I think you could have gotten any of Cutch, Marte, Ozuna, Blackmon, or maybe even Yelich for that package rather than Polanco.
