Re: MLB 18 The Show Trade Discussion

You're like $10 million short on value at least. And that's assuming the Padres would have interest in the expensive portion of Teheran's contract

I could substitute Kyle Wright or Ian Anderson for Teheran if it makes more sense.

Re: MLB 18 The Show Trade Discussion

Okay so I'm playing as the Atlanta Braves, and I am nearing the All Star Break in a tight Race in the NL east/wildcard. My bullpen just straight up sucks. The Padres are pretty much out of it in the NL West, and I want to make a play for Brad Hand. Obviously the Braves farm system is pretty stacked, but I'm running a 30 man control league, and I want to make a realistic trade for him. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to make this work? I want to go after Hand, because he is a long term arm that I could use as a foundation to build my bullpen up.

I'm willing to part ways with some prospects (especially offensive ones), but this is the first time I've tried to make a trade like this and I really don't know enough to be certain on what would be fair.

Thanks!

There's a Brad Hand to the Yanks trade in the spreadsheet...it was Andujar and Justus Sheffield for Hand.

Andujar surplus is $24.1, and Sheffield is $32.2, so probably something along the lines of one of Gohara or Anderson + Riley? Maybe another piece in there too?

What would it take for the Astros to get Merrifield from the Royals. Jose Altuve is injured for the year. Any other info needed I can provide. Thank you in advance for the help.

Re: MLB 18 The Show Trade Discussion

Hey all was contemplating trading Dietrich in my Marlins chise towards the deadline as I assume I wont be in contention. I saw on here his value is 10M but im getting way higher in the neighborhood of 28M. Ill throw down my math and maybe one of you guys can tell me where i went wrong.

(1.4*0.6)+(2.4*0.3)+(0.3*.1) using 1.59 1.59*3yrs*9 =42.93
=0.84+0.72+0.03
=1.59

He is in first arb year making 2.9M so even if I put his salary for arb year 2 at 4.9 and Arb year 3 and 6.9

42.93-(2.9+4.9+6.9)
42.93-14.7
=28.23 which rounded gets me 28.2

I assume im doing the math right but may be way off any help is appreciated

Re: MLB 18 The Show Trade Discussion

Using 30 team control but only play as the Yankees.

Cubs and Blue Jays just swapped Ben Zobrist and Randell Grichuk.

Seem fair or should I veto?

As a fan of the Jays I would have no interest in this trade. Zobrist is owed a significant chunk of change and is bordering on being a negative asset I believe. Grichuk is younger and has control. Jays gave up a pretty good reliever to get him recently so I dont see them moving off of him for Zobrist.

Re: MLB 18 The Show Trade Discussion

What value does Robbie Cano have? For the sake of my franchise, let’s ignore the suspension. Is he even tradeable with his contract?

As a Mariners fan, I love how they are performing without him. As a franchise guy, I’d like this team to get younger, plus it’s hard to trade guys I root for but Cano I could live without.

If we’re ignoring the suspension, which I don’t really like doing, I’m roughly estimating around 30M in surplus. I’m adjusting for WAR fall off with age.

That’s enough to get you a package built around a 75-100 guy (if ignoring the suspension). Where I think things still get difficult is the relative disinterest teams will have in bringing on Cano’s salary at his age. I think you’re limited to teams like the Yankees, Mets and Dodgers.

I would veto that. Without even looking at surplus, I see no reason for Toronto to do this trade. Grichuk to Chicago is actually really interesting but the return isn’t there in this deal.

Re: MLB 18 The Show Trade Discussion

Does a lotto ticket for either CLE Yan Gomes or CHW Kevan Smith seem like enough? Also what is Omar Narvaez value?

Here is my thinking on all 3

Gomes is on bench with Meija starting and Perez has fairly long deal which is cheaper then Gomes, and Perez he is younger.

Smith and Narvaez are behind current starter Castillo who is there this year and next barring they trade him, and they traded for Caratani so it looks like they have their catcher of the future too.

Thanks all

Anyone using the Cubs trade for Machado? If you got him who did you give up?

Re: MLB 18 The Show Trade Discussion

The Cubs don't have the prospects to give up, so I feel like the early rumor of Russell + Almora is a decent place to start. IRL I don't think Theo wants to trade Baez/Schwarber/Happ (also don't think he'd want to deal Russell or Almora, which is why this trade isn't gonna happen), but if you are more willing to part with those guys, maybe you could get away with just one of them plus a young low level prospect who has lots of time to develop

EDIT: If you anticipate trying to resign him then you would probably be more willing to give up the house than if you just wanted a rental

Someone mentioned the Russell for Machado trade earlier. I just really think at this point Manny is going to test FA IRL. To me, given their lack of a farm at this point, a deal starts with Schwarber/Alzolay. I just don't think you can give up a premium position player that has been pretty good (Russell) and then see Manny walk two months later.
