MLB 17 Trade Discussion Thread

Re: MLB 17 Trade Discussion Thread

Once OFSM drops, was looking to bring some young pitching to the back end of the Yankees rotation. Willing to part with Mateo Rutherford and Williams to bring something back.

Any ideas?

Young pitching as in Sonny Gray, Julio Teheran, etc...? Yankees have a very good farm system, and could pull something off if you're willing.

Re: MLB 17 Trade Discussion Thread

Gamecocks brings up a very good point here. Rangers likely do not have what it takes, but 2 years ago totally.

Marcell Ozuna has been in rumors, and wouldn't cost nearly as much.

That was my concern, thanks for the honest input. Maybe I can build something after dealing Darvish. I still need to find a good package for him.

That will depend on the races, who is in it, who needs SP, and what his stats are! Will gladly help...Unless you want to deal him before the season start?

Sheesh. Don't have much to play with. Cozart could get a low C, Hamilton could get 2 C's or a low B, Votto is stuck to you...Honestly it will depend on how players start the season for you.

What about Duvall?? Mesarocco?

I'll wait until my franchise is underway (when OSFM releases) and then I'll try to move him at the deadline. But I'll definitely take you up on the offer then!

Duvall needs to prove more than a one year wonder, and he wasn't truly that great anyway outside of dingers.

Mesaroco hasnt been healthy since 2014.

Duvall could net 2 C's right now, and Devin about nothing.

Re: MLB 17 Trade Discussion Thread

Super interesting idea! Dodgers would initially ask for Stroman, of course, but Sean Reid-Foley + Leon/Biagini + Catcher spec might work out the deal. Hard to gauge value without stats, but as of now I think that is Puig's worth. Two B specs + MLB ready SP/RP

Now that's something to chew on for Puig. Would still have a bit of trouble trading Reid-Foley but depending on the development of Zeuch/Harris in our system I'd probably pull the trigger on:

Blue Jays:

Puig

Dodgers:

Reid-Foley
Leon/Other RP/P 'spect
Pentecost/McGuire

Shift Joey Bats to LF/1B, Puig to RF. Think that's a much more workable outfield. Thanks.

Was looking at Mike Foltynewicz, as an option, what would it take for him?

25 year old who hasn't been necessarily good in the pros, but does have upside to be a big arm. Interesting thought, but with how heavy the Braves are at pitching they would probably want someone of similar potential at an offensive position need.

He still has 5 years of service time and seems like he is starting to turn things around this spring. I think they would want something pretty substatial in return. I'm sure they'd ask for Sanchez which wouldn't happen. Then Frazier, but we all know that isn't realistic either.

So realistically I think you would have to offer something like Judge or Mateo plus Andujar or Kaprielian plus Fowler. Something like $45 million in surplus value.

Judge for Folty sound like a reasonable deal? I was thinking something along the line of that in my post above, as I think they are similar in value.

Seems about right. A 55FV hitter is worth about $38 million so that feels about right. Maybe throw in a lower level guy if you feel the need but I think a Folty for Judge framework could definitely be done

Duvall outplayed Bryce Harper last year and found a position in the OF. I can't imagine there isn't interest from someone.

Duvall was great at hitting dongs, but he didn't outplay Bryce. Harper had a 3.5 WAR and Duvall had a 2.8 WAR. Also, Duvall needs to work on his OBP since he didn't even break .300

Duvall has some value, but low OBP sluggers aren't as valuable now as they used to be. Look at Chris Carter's free agency. Duvall does have some nice defensive metrics, but I don't think you'd get anything more than a low B prospect in return for Duvall
