MLB 18 The Show Trade Discussion

Re: MLB 18 The Show Trade Discussion

Anyone think it's possible to get rid of Markakis in April? I hate this guy so much, I'll sit on him if I have to though.

I don't care what comes back, I just want him gone.

Re: MLB 18 The Show Trade Discussion

Value wise yes but I doubt the Indians would do this trade since they are so high on him. But just my opinion.

Not to mention Mejia is way further away from getting paid than Realmuto is.

What would it take for the Yankees to get Fulmer from the Tigers?

Re: MLB 18 The Show Trade Discussion

Not exactly realistic, but I would like to acquire Lance McCullers Jr from the Astros to my Braves. I was thinking Kolby Allard, Luiz Gohara, and Cristian Pache. Would also be willing to include Teheran. Thoughts?

LOL...that's how I feel in real life.


but he's the "consummate pro"! i.e. he has no real skill anymore but "play's the game the right way"

Re: MLB 18 The Show Trade Discussion

What could I do to acquire a guy like matt Olsen to the marlins? Still looking to shop bour, realmuto, Maybin at some point to a contender and possibly Castro (depending on value) for some nice prospects and potentially borderline mlb ready guys. Would like to get a young guy like Olsen to keep the pop in the lineup so bours abscence wouldn’t be drastic?!

Re: MLB 18 The Show Trade Discussion

I know its an inner division trade, but would a zunino to Oakland for Puk or Kap be fair? Drafted a power hitting catcher in first draft thats offensively ready beginning of year 2 now.

Re: MLB 18 The Show Trade Discussion

Two questions.

1. Realistic trade to get Vizcaino to Boston at deadline.

2. What was Blackmon's surplus value before he signed extension. So, his surplus in Spring Training 2018.

Re: MLB 18 The Show Trade Discussion

Would OAK have any interest in Teheran for Khris Davis and more?

Update: I pushed Iannette and a C-rated 1B prospect to the Twins for Brent Rooker and Lewis Thorpe. I'll call that a rare mutually beneficial fleece job

Re: MLB 18 The Show Trade Discussion

Okay, so I picked the Rockies for a franchise, and I'm realizing I have a good problem. But it's still a problem that needs to be dealt with.

I'm going to do whatever it takes to lock down Arenado, Blackmon, Story. That's non-negotiable and hardline. LeMahieu and Charlie are due to become FAs at the end of the year so I don't have to worry about stretching everything thin yet (Arenado and Story may break me, but hopefully I'll have more team controlled players in the majors next season). I would like to keep DJ but with Brendon Rodgers I'm not sure how logical that would be, but he's going nowhere soon.

Every other starter isn't in the picture. Iannetta, Desmond, Parra, and CarGo are all going to be given away to the highest bidder.

My hang up is, for the most part I have the next in line already in place. Tony Wolters is in the majors at C (25 y/o, 70 OVR, B POT) and Ryan McMahon starting at 1st (23, 63, A). On the bench I have OF Mike Tauchmann (27, 62, B) and Pat Valaika (25, 68, B) at middle infield.

What gets tricky is that I have SS Brendan Rodgers (21,70,A), OF David Dahl (24,73,A), and Jordan Patterson (26, 65, B) in the minors waiting for a call.

The obvious move is to ship the four on the trading block for pitching prospects, but I want to get some second opinions.

1) Parra is the best player/most likely to get the highest return on the trading block (30, 81, C) mostly because a lot of teams are starting OF under an 81. Should I try to deal him at the end of April (yeah I'm playing the ****ty contract game) or hold off until the deadline? Does the game recognize that contenders need to shore up holes? This is my first year playing so I'm not sure about the second part.

2) Should I keep Tauchmann and Valaika in my system or should I spurn them when I feel it's time to call up one of their superiors from the minors? Both are team controlled until at least next season.

3) At what point is too much pitching in return? What kind of pitchers to position player ratio should I be angling for? The Rockies' current rotation isn't the Nationals but they're all 28 or younger and four are still showing B potential. You can never had too much pitching but everyone not named Chad Bettis is going to be hard to part with.

4) Piggybacking off of that, given how much of "the future" I have in mind in the field how do I go about selecting position prospects? Should I just go for as high potential as possible and ignore current overall or specific position?

I am in the same situation. Just started with the Rockies as well. To answer one of your questions, I don't think you can ever have too much pitching. I would see what you could get for Parra now and if you dont like the offers, keep him until later. I am using Desmond at first currently but I may move DJ there to make room for Rodgers.

Assuming he put around the same stats of 2017 in years 2015 and 16 im around 29 surplus value because of his crazy cheap contract. That puts him around the top 50 to 75 prospect value (According to an example towards the beginning of the post) BUT because hes 31 year old id say hes worth a bit less. I could be wrong tho.

I think its possible. Like one of those trade deadline deals. Rental to a contending team for a lotto ticket or 2 .

I think BAL would have some interest
