    However, I don’t know if I can do the Realmuto trade. Is there anywhere else besides Houston where this makes sense?

    I wouldn't go crazy and pick up like a David Paulino type because I don't think that value really matches up, but I took a AA guy with a high C potential whose name escapes me right now.

    Realmuto-wise, there are approved trades in the spreadsheet where he goes to Houston, the Yankees, Twins, and Rockies.

The values were about what pillar is worth I think slightly less and in mine they are contending and had no one producing in the OF seeing as they for sure only have Goldy for this year I look at it as a contend now move. This could get mixed reviews however


      Thanks guys. I think I’ll send Realmuto to Houston if I think it’s warranted. Then I’ll send Pearce for McCann and a pitcher. I think I’ll hold Pillar. Even to provide defence and speed on the bases.

      Thanks for the responses guys!

        So it turns out, I'm not that great at batting with Trevor Story or Brendan Rodgers. Thus, I'm going back to the drawing table with my Andrus deal. After re-working Elvis' value using 9 WAR, he's worth around 132M in surplus.

        I was looking at few different options and was curious what you guys think.

        LAD REC: Elvis Andrus (To Play 2nd) | Carlos Tocci
        TEX REC: Walker Buehler | Alex Verdugo | Keibert Ruiz | Dustin May | DJ Peters

        MIN REC: Adrian Beltre | Cole Hamels | DeLino DeShields
        TEX REC: Royce Lewis | Kohl Stewart

          I know a Machado deal has been talked a lot but I have not seen the Dodgers mentioned as a potential team. In my Franchise, the Cardinals are not in contention so it would not make sense to make the move mentioned on the spreadsheet and Mejia is starting for the Indians and doing pretty well so I do not want to make that move either for realism purposes.

          The Dodgers have Justin Turner injured with a broken leg and Chris Taylor struggling as they are fighting to hold off the Giants, Diamondbacks, and Rockies. I assume Buehler and Verdugo have too much value to be used in a Machado trade but would a package of Yunsneil Diaz and Yaider Alvarez work? Or do I need to go down another tier? Also, does Julio Urias still carry lofty value despite his struggles and injuries in his career so far?

            Elvis hasn’t played a game of second base in his career. I don’t know how that will work especially if it isn’t his secondary position in the show. Value wise it probably works, but I don’t think the dodgers would let go of Buehler and Verdugo for someone to play second base for the first time.

            That’s just my opinion on that one trade but someone else might have a different thoughts.

            PS: I sent you a PM a few days ago with some values for players you can add to the log if you want. Don’t know if you saw it or had the chance to check.

              Ohp, there is a little red one up there. I'll go check it.

              I've always been of the mind (I'll probably irk people with this) that if you can play SS, you can handle 2B. There are a lot of SS who can even handle the transition to 3B. I completely understand your point though. That could be a question they pose and a reason for them not to swing that deal.

              Finding a home for Andrus outside of the Colorado trade I've already put together is proving difficult. His surplus is pretty high but there aren't a lot of teams in need of a SS bad enough to make the move. Those that are, aren't competing. That is why I've started playing with the idea of moving him to second.

                Admittedly, it is hard for me to wrap my head around this one. I understand Turner is injured but I can't imagine LA would want to do this. They are trading for Machado for a single year with little hope of resigning him. If they do resign him, they have to find a home for a good but thirty-five year old third baseman next year. I don't like the match-up so its hard for me to really move past that into value-equality.

                  Yeah, I understand that. I was looking at this from the desperation standpoint from the Dodgers needing to shore up the infield as they make their annual run to lose in the divisional round unless they play the Nationals. [emoji6].
                  Realistically, desperation from another team is about the only way the Orioles are even trading Machado at this point and getting value in return.

                    Re: MLB 18 The Show Trade Discussion

                    Alright guys rocking along in my Yanks chise closing in on the end on April. Starting to knock around a couple possible moves for later on in the year. Lemme know what y'all think?

                    Trade 1:

                    NYY Gets:
                    Manny Machado 36m Value on Sheet

                    BAL Gets:
                    1B Greg Bird 20m Value on Sheet
                    RHP Albert Abreu 19.7m Value on Sheet
                    RHP Chance Adams 15.1m Value on Sheet

                    Figure BAL gets a good future behind Davis and the two arms it was said they were looking for irl, plus gives them a little overpay in value for the in-division trade.

                    Trade 2:
                    NYY Gets:
                    1B Jose Abreu 40m Value on Sheet

                    CWS Gets:
                    1B Greg Bird 20m Value on Sheet
                    RHP Albert Abreu 19.7m Value on Sheet
                    RHP Chance Adams 15.1m Value on Sheet

                    Pretty straight up here Bird gives a younger replacement at 1B plus 2 possible rotation arms for the Sox rebuild, while I get a beast of a 1B.

                    Here's the value breakdown for both trades.

                    Trade 1 :
                    NYY gives 54.8m / BAL gives 36m

                    Trade 2:
                    NYY gives 54.8m / CWS gives 40m

                    What y'all think? I'm still debating on possible pitching trades right now.

                      I think the Baltimore trade looks good. I think you could substitute in a pitcher lower on the totem pole than Adams with Chicago. I think you're overpaying. Which is realistic in some scenarios but I think that is a pretty steep price. Could be wrong though.

                        I think I was just adding Adams in on a just in case Abreu was tearing it up or something, I agree with just regular stats I could probably change him out.

                        Thanks for the feedback, any idea on possible pitchers I could be targeting?

                          Freicer Perez would likely get the deal done. He's a cheaper piece than Adams but still a really good backend return.

                            Was wondering as I am contending and the Braves are Full on rebuild in my chise they are way out of it!
                            What does it take to get SP Mcarthy and RHRP Vizcaino to the Blue Jays?

                            The reason I ask is Happ and Biagini both gone for the year and Im sick of pitching with the likes of Nick Tepesch and Sam Gaviglio

                              Thanks I'll keep that in mind, but I meant more of pitchers I could target on the market lol.

                                Oh snap, sorry, it was late.

                                Texas has two pretty affordable arms in Hamels and Perez. Julio Teheran is always an option if Atlanta isn't competing just yet. There is Duffy in Kansas City of course but he's going to cost around the same as those other three guys combined.
