Machado is bringing in about ~$36 million in surplus WAR for 2018 it looks like. Dang that's a lot for a contract year.

Honestly all the Indians have is Francisco Mejia and Triston McKenzie for top tier prospects...

So Triston McKenzie and Willi Castro for Machado works out perfect value wise.

Has fangraphs came out with their yearly prospect values yet? I haven’t been able to find them? I always found them to be helpful when valuing players

No clue, I use a few other websites and a formula a few people decided that worked best.

Yeah, I posted it a bit above. Not much to look through.

I saw the how to figure surplus but I didn’t see how to value prospects.

I’ve started a franchise with The marlins and wanna continue rebuilding. What could I get for realmuto,bour, maybin? Or is it not worth it?

Re: MLB 18 The Show Trade Discussion

Cubs franchise, saw reports early in the winter about Machado/Cubs. What would make sense there? It was floated that it would be Addison Russell, Albert Almora Jr and Mike Montgomery (somewhere he could start), would this make sense? What else could be added?

Russell for Machado is awful for the Cubs.

Rough match-up here as well, but you're willing to deal from your MLB team it seems.

Kyle Schwarber + Adbert Alzolay would be ideal. If Schwarber produces 1.2 WAR per season for the next 4 years the Orioles would technically win this deal unless you signed Machado to an extension, and Adbert is their number one prospect.

Maybin just signed so he won't be a chip until later in the season with stats.

Realmuto is roughly worth ~$75.85 million in surplus value. That could get a number 1-10 prospect in baseball and a 75-100. Or a few middle to lower top 100 prospects. He is very valuable.

Bour I like a lot, but I also dig lefties who hit homers...and he is projected to bust out roughly ~$36 surplus in the next 3 years, and that is very valuable as well. That is a top 26-50 prospect in baseball value (38 million is the actual, but it's close enough).

The Mets don't have a single prospect in the top 100 so that makes this a lot harder. Rosario and Smith both did not show worth in 2017, but still have massive potential...however if I am the Orioles I would ask for both, and if you only say one then I ask for Matz as well.

Bad match in my opinion.

I saw the how to figure surplus but I didn’t see how to value prospects.

Ah, yeah I just look up some credible websites that have prospect ranking values depending on how they are in the top 200.

No, Stroman is actually on the same page if not a bit more valuable than Archer.

I am pretty low on Archer and Stroman, but baseball reference has them being pretty valuable.

Then you aren't acquiring a number one or a number two.
