MLB 17 Trade Discussion Thread

Re: MLB 17 Trade Discussion Thread

He still holds a ton of value to a team that needs a top closer (and Chapman is one of the 3 best in the league IMO) making a huge push to win the entire thing. Just be prepared to shell out for Bentances in the off-season!!

I still think you can fetch at least two 'A' prospects for this guy. Or a 28-30 old everyday "B" player and one "A" or 2 "B" prospects.

Plenty of deal can be made for Chapman for the right price and right situation.

Post some trade idea's and we can analyze it! I would wait till near the All-Star break and you will have a good pulse on a potential landing spot for Ardolis.


And this is exactly why I love 30 team control. You can make deals that are fair and make your league alive!!!

I'm ok with paying for Betances, especially since I'll be going hard after Miller after 2018. In a perfect world, I'd be adding a young controllable starter, and I will admit, the Joe Ross fan in me knows the Nationals need someone like Chapman and boy would I be happy to do that.

Re: MLB 17 Trade Discussion Thread

So I like the possibility of trading donaldson to the mets for a package headlined by Rosario but want to look at the Cards also as a trading partner. What is Reyes's value like now after the TJ and also would they be willing to move Carson Kelley in the package because he is blocked by Yadi. Would something around Reyes+Kelly be possible or is that asking for too much. Thanks

Luis Robert was declared a FA. 19 yr old. Seen a scout say hes "the cuban mike trout". Who would be best fit? Keeping in mind the internation signing rules

White Sox still haven't gone over their allotment for this signing period. They need more impact position players in their system and they have the Cuban connection with Abreu and Moncada. Reds, Cardinals and Padres are also rumored to have most interest but the Padres are already over their allotment so much, how high of a bidding can they go into with a 100% tax?

Also heard Astros and As were in on him as well. But that White Sox had shown most interest. Would have to make him in game. What would be the stance to to choose for him

I have him downloaded from the vault and he could potentially be in the OSFM set. But he is definitely in the vault.

I don't think you could get Ross, Robles or Turner for Chapman. The Nats could have just paid him if they wanted him that bad. You'll have to lower your expectations a bit

The only teams that cannot sign him are the Cubs, Dodgers, Giants, or Royals because they are in the penalty and can't sign any international amateur player for more than $300,000.

Also, for anyone wondering: There isn't a limit on what Robert could be paid because the new CBA doesn't go into effect until June 15th. That new CBA includes a hard cap on international signings. Robert can make as much as anyone is willing to pay him.

And Red Sox and Yankees*. It's a 2 year penalty so teams that went over 2 years ago are still being hit with a penalty. Probably more than just the few we listed as well. Rays I think went over recently too.

Re: MLB 17 Trade Discussion Thread

Alright boys here is my situation for the Cubs in my franchise;

The Cubs are sitting 9-5 after 14 games despite some unlucky injuries. For example, Brett Anderson just fractured his head after taking a linedrive off the dome piece.

Now I know if they can't find a deal they could move Mike Montgomery who is currently their long reliever to become the 5th starter, but I do think I found a guy the Cubs could go after.

The Padres are currently 1-14, and if we're being honest it will be a miracle if they don't lose 100 games this season.

This is the trade I was thinking about pulling the trigger on;

Cubs get:
SP Trevor Cahill(73, POT C) - 0-2, 15.2 IP, 3.45 ERA, 0.96 WHIP - 1yr/1.7M
4th Man In the Rotation, 71 ADJ OVR


Padres get:
SP Rob Zastryzny (56. POT C) | AA Stats: 0-1, 15.2 IP, 1.72 ERA, 1.21 WHIP
Age 25

SP Duane Underwood (50, POT C) | AA Stats: 1-0, 13.0 IP, 5.54 ERA, 1.92 WHIP
Age 22


Not too familiar with the Cubs system besides the top up and coming guys. Is this a fair trade? Is Cahill worth more? Anybody I should swap in and out for this to work? Thanks fellas

Cahill was on the team last year but not on the playoff roster. (If he was he made 0 appearances). Is this move still realistic? Or is there another Friar who could be shipped to Chicago?

I don't think they would trade Ross for Chapman either, at least not without paying down the deal or adding to Chapman. Just day dreaming and giving an example of the kind of guy I'd wanna get.

That's true. Basically you'd have to pay down however much the prospect was worth. No team would want to trade away an important prospect and take on a contract that they could have just offered themselves 3 months ago. I understand not liking him because of his DV issues, but a trade right now is hard
