    Cole Hamels is having a good season with a 2.50 ERA, and 1.11 WHIP.

    I think that's overpaying with Hamels large contract

        Give Wentz or Mueller and a lotto ticket. Hamels doesn't have a ton of surplus but he will be one of the best arms in the market

          That’s why I was thinking the package would be a bit higher because him being the best available. Thanks for the advice.

          I thought about Bumgarner but the Giants are I guess still in it with being 5.5 back in the wild card but completely out of the division race on July 8th. So I figured they wouldn’t pull the trigger to sell and rebuild.

              How do you guys feel about picking up players in the rule 5 draft and accepting trades CPU offers you ? Is that unrealistic or how do you feel about it since we talking about trades here !

                Re: MLB 18 The Show Trade Discussion

                I'm about a month into my Red Sox franchise and I'm starting to scout potential upgrades. What would it take to get one of the following catchers?

                Wilson Ramos - TB - FA after this season

                Welington Castillo - CWS - FA after 2019
                Castillo is actually my most likely target as he has a very productive bat, something my catchers lack.

                Mike Zunino - SEA - FA after 2019
                The Mariners are technically a winning team right now, but they have struggled with their pitching so Zunino could be made available.

                Robinson Chirinos - TEX - FA after 2019

                J.T. Realmuto - MIA - FA after 2020
                Would Jay Groome, Mike Shawaryn, and Blake Swihart be a good start? I'd also be willing to include Bradley if needed. Swihart has actually hit pretty well so far, batting around .320 with 6 RBI, but he lacks any real power which limits his solid hits, leaving him to mostly singles. I have a feeling this is too little for Realmuto so the others are more realistic options.

                    I personally manage all 30 teams' 40-man rosters to prevent top tier prospects from entering the rule 5 draft so this is a non-issue for me.

                    Honestly, the main reason I wanted to find a thread like this was because of the terrible trades offered and made by the CPU teams in MLB The Show. The trade logic is broken, so I stick to the formula as a base for my trade evaluations and I'll try to get other opinions about potential trades here to rule out any bias and gage how realistic certain trades are outside of calculations alone.

                      Would the Cubs trade Addison Russell for Manny Machado or is that too big of a shakeup?

                        Yes but the O’s would want more back than just Addison. I believe there are several Manny to Cubs trades in the link for the chart, from the first post.

                          We have multiple examples for this trade on the log.

                            Looking to green light this trade in August. Cleveland is riddled by injuries in the outfield.

                            Pillar and Pearce to Cleveland for Bobby Bradley, Nolan Jones, Will Benson and Mike Napoli.

                            Pillar is worth 52 surplus and I stayed away from both Meija and McKenzie.

                            I think the values match.

                              I don't think the Indians will give up their most likely next year 1st Baseman in Bobby Bradley.

                              I personally think you pair one of Jones/Benson with Aaron Civale and call it a day.

                              August trade. Try to mimick the Justin Verlander trade with less value.

                                Okay, I’ll take that. I guess I am just confused because pillar has a surplus value of 52. Benson/Jones are 45 FV (equivalent of 11M) while Civale is also 45 for a pitcher and that’s 13. So basically I’m trading Pillar for half his value.

                                Although, if that’s the value, I Might take Jones, Civale since I’ll be calling up Vlad next year.
