    Sounds good!

    Already made other trades in the franchise in ST. Was waiting for the Machado trade. My farm system is THRIVING!

      Probably not quite as high since Hand is on a cheapish contract and Knebel would make more through arbitration

        What is Mychal Given’s value? The sheet has him listed at 70.1 million but from searching the thread I have seen it near 40 million. Which should I follow? Looking to package him and Zach Britton when I do make the trade.

          Givens and Britton wouldn't get you Mejia if that's what you're after

            No, no way. Wouldn’t expect that. Not with Britton’s injury issues and salary. Was thinking both together would net me guys in the 50-75 range of the top 100. Still too high?

              So given Dodgers have him for basically whole season what would the return be?

              Yunsiel Diaz and Dustin May sound good?

              Not to hijack but does anyone know how to get Machado on the Dodgers? I'm in year 3 of my franchise and I can't move him due to salary reasons. Im not using the Dodgers but do have 30 team control but I can't get him over. He's making 27 mil a season with Baltimore

                IMO I think Machado with Seager in the lineup returns to 3B and Seager continues at SS if you look at Machado's defensive numbers at SS he has some of the worst defensive metrics in the league as a SS but is a + defender at 3B.

                  In my Marlins franchise in the first year right now.

                  Packaged Starlin Castro to the Cardinals for a decent haul

                  22 yo 2B Edmundo Sosa 72 OVR

                  21 yo RP Jordan Hicks 71 OVR

                  23 yo RP Hector Mendoza 63 OVR

                  Good trade?

                  Sosa wasn't doing so hot in AAA for the whole year in St. Louis so I had him sent to AA, he seems to be doing okay. Jordan Hicks is filthy as a setup man. Got Brad Miller as a stopgap at 2B for Garrett Cooper(already have Matt Thaiss raking at AAA, so Cooper was just depth and not good depth at that)

                    Shin Shoo Choo

                    Jason Heyward

                    Byron Buxton

                      Good trade as in you got more talent than you should, yes. Good trade as in realistic or fair, no

                        I'm a disgusted Nationals fan thinking of starting a Franchise but want to rebuild/ reboot by looking to deal Harper, Murphy, Scherzer, Herrera and Madson. What are realistic returns on Harper and Murphy as impending FA's ? I know the Yankees want an upgrade at 1b so was thinking they might be a fit. B prospects for those 2?

                        Scherzer would obviously bring the biggest return. I'd be looking for prospects or young MLB players with upside. Also would it make sense to simulate to close to the Deadline and see what the offers are?

                          The Machado deal is your framework. Also you literally have a Herrera deal to work from. Scherzer is where it gets hard. Hes amazing but hes older and costs a fortune

                            I follow baseball but not to the extent that I'm really familiar with farm systems and prospects. The Machado deal was essentially one fairly highly regarded prospect and then downhill from there? Ya Scherzer is where I need the most help. High salary so limits who would go after him but may still be elite for a few more years...

                                Interestingly, his surplus in this forum is actually only around $4 mil (I made 2016 a 1 WAR season as opposed to the 0.0 that it was), so, while it may seem not-so-great, you're getting back a AAAA type reliever, a prospect, and some international bonus money, which is probably more than a lot of people would offer. Even adding $10 mil as a trade deadline premium still doesn't get a name that you'd have ever read about.
