    James Paxton is worth in the range of $58 million.

    Mitch Haniger is worth in the range of $88.5 million if he keeps up his pace and is worth roughly the same as other outfielders in ARB.


    Marte can get Paxton.

    Kuhl would be a throw-in in this deal.

    You need to come up with $88.5 million in surplus to complete this trade, though this is pretty unrealistic but I assume you know that.

    I'm in a weird position in my Franchise. I've simmed to the All-Star break so I could draft and prepare for trades with my Rangers. I was expecting a revamp but for some strange reason, we're 60-40 on July 23rd. We lead the division by five games, which seriously kills my thought process on trading away pieces. Instead, I'm looking to see what I can pull back as I might as well try and make a run here. I'm looking to beef up the rotation and add an outfielder.

    I'm looking at these deals:

    TEX REC: Chris Archer
    TAM REC: Leodys Taveras | Yohander Mendez | Christopher Seise

    TEX REC: Randal Grichuk
    TOR REC: Drew Robinson | Pedro Gonzalez | Michael Matuella

    How off am I?

    I'm also looking to shore up a few other contending teams as well. I'm thinking of dealing Realmuto to Minnesota, Donaldson to Toronto, Machado to St. Louis and Adam Jones to San Francisco. I know we already have a deal for Machado and Donaldson but I want to make sure they're good (I'm altering a bit). I'm also thinking now might be the right time to to swing a deal for Fulmer. I have this:

    MIN REC: JT Realmuto
    MIA REC: Nick Gordon | Alex Kirilloff | Brusdar Graterol

    SF REC: Adam Jones
    BAL REC: Garrett Williams | Dylan Davis

    STL REC: Manny Machado
    BAL REC: Jedd Gyorko | Jack Flaherty | Tyler O'Neill

    NYY REC: Josh Donaldson
    TOR REC: Justus Sheffield | Chance Adams

    PHI REC: Michael Fulmer | Alex Wilson
    DET REC: Vince Velasquez | JP Crawford | Sixto Sanchez | Mickey Moniak | Arquimedes Gamboa
    This all looks dandy to me, little too much for Machado.

      Thanks man. Getting a bit better at this I think.

      Any advice on evening out the Machado deal? Gyorko gets lost in the shuffle so I felt it only sensible to send him back to Baltimore. Does throwing in Keegan Akin back to the Cardinals make this a little more even?

        It's still early days in my Padres franchise but I have my eye on Trey Mancini of the Orioles. I have the usual suspects as far as prospects are concerned for those familiar with our system as well as the players on the MLB level. Currently the Orioles are fourth in their division and could use several prospects as far as I'm concerned especially if they go full rebuild after Manny Machado departs. What would I be looking at as far as a fair trade for Mancini?

        Edit: Also would I be a fool to trade away Hunter Renfroe? I know he is A potential and can hit it well for power against lefties but outside of that I dont see anything really all that special.

          One option is to send Gyorko somewhere else as Baltimore might want to bring up Mountcastle to take over third, depends how far along he is. But i would thin Akin would be a fair value if you are sending
          Gyorko to Baltimore with him taking over a starting spot.

              If your boy is the Marlins, I'd say he's getting robbed.

              Prospect for prospect swaps are very, very rare. In this deal, Detroit gets Brinson (MLB ready), Gonzalez (MLB ready) and Neidert (A so/so prospect in AA) for Faedo and Manning who both haven't pitched above A ball.

              If he doesn't like playing with Brinson, and needs a young pitcher, you can do better.

                  Honestly, this is one of those trades that I just don't see either team doing. Chicago would be foolish to give up Anderson and Oakland doesn't need him. Nor would Oakland want to give up Chapman.

                    Re: MLB 18 The Show Trade Discussion

                    In my Rangers franchise, I'm really interested in finding a way to get Brandon Drury. The Yankees have aquired Donaldson in my 'chise and have made Drury expendable. I've always enjoyed playing with him and I like the opportunity to move him around the field as I need him. Need for need, I don't think I'm a good trade partner with the Yankees right now, so I've been looking at a three-team deal. I'd like to get some opinions on this one:

                    TEX REC: Brandon Drury
                    NYY REC: Jose Abreu
                    CHW REC: DeLino DeShields Jr. | Greg Bird | Brett Nicholas

                    Does this work? This gives New York a top first baseman but they lose Bird and Drury. Texas loses DeShields Jr. who is currently our 4th Outfielder after the Grichuk acquisition but gains Drury who can play the infield and outfield. Chicago loses a big bat in Abreu but acquires a young 1B with potential and a young CF with potential. They also get a guy in Nicholas who can split time behind the plate and at first base.

                    I'm viewing this from the perspective of New York battling with Boston for the Division, Texas miraculously competing and Chicago still very much at the bottom of their division and probably more apt to acquire younger pieces.

                      Don't think white sox are trading Abreu for a 4th OF and a off-injured Greg Bird.

                      White Sox only want prospects for the rebuild.

                      If I remember correctly a potential deal in the winter with Rangers would have involved Willie Calhoun or Nomar Mazara. Red Sox was Jackie Bradley

                        You're probably right on this. I don't think there is a good way to get Drury to Texas unfortunately. I need to shed DeShields who is a starter on most teams but it makes most sense for me to shed him to get Drury. No way I would move Mazara or Calhoun to get Drury in return. I would be willing to move some prospects but New York would have to pitch in as well.

                          You could honestly do DeSheilds or Nicholas for Drury straight up.

                          Yanks probably want Nicholas to help with C/1B possibilities if Sanchez or Bird go down

                            If you are only getting Drury, giving up a top prospect isn't going to be that necessary. he has a combined 1.4WAR according to BR. I don't use any values but more or less what feels right.

                            Here's a deal I think you could make

                            TEX REC: Brandon Drury (From NYY)
                            NYY REC: Jose Abreu (From CHW)
                            CHW REC: DeLino DeShields Jr. (From TEX) | Chance Adams (From NYY) | Domingo Acevedo (From NYY)

                            Greg Bird has no value to me because he isn't an elite player and is always injured. White Sox are still on the rebuild and are looking for pieces to contend next season. DeLino is still young enough to where he'd be attractive for CHW. Maybe add another prospect or two but I think NYY giving up #6 and #9 prospects is pretty fair. Abreu has a ton of value to me because he's always been consistent.

                            Another problem you might have by sending DeShields to CHW is that his last name isn't Garcia haha

                                I mean I'm definitely good with this, I just wasn't sure how that trade would play out given the NYY outfield is already crowded. I would feel compelled to move a guy out. Hicks, Gardner or Ellsbury one would probably need to be dealt away.

                                Here's a deal I think you could make

                                TEX REC: Brandon Drury (From NYY)
                                NYY REC: Jose Abreu (From CHW)
                                CHW REC: DeLino DeShields Jr. (From TEX) | Chance Adams (From NYY) | Domingo Acevedo (From NYY)

                                Greg Bird has no value to me because he isn't an elite player and is always injured. White Sox are still on the rebuild and are looking for pieces to contend next season. DeLino is still young enough to where he'd be attractive for CHW. Maybe add another prospect or two but I think NYY giving up #6 and #9 prospects is pretty fair. Abreu has a ton of value to me because he's always been consistent.

                                Another problem you might have by sending DeShields to CHW is that his last name isn't Garcia haha
                                I'm not opposed to this either.
