I'd want Seth Lugo off the Mets for Swihart. If you cannot move MLB pieces, it becomes significantly harder, because I don't think the Mets prospects are good enough to justify making the move. Probably Peter Alonso. Anything less and it just doesn't make sense to do a deal.

Re: MLB 18 The Show Trade Discussion
Haha no worries man, I already have Colorado picking up Realmuto, and Boston already got James McCann in a CPU trade a let go thru.
I like the Washington and Milwaukee trades tho. I already have Milwaukee making a push and picking up Cueto and Minor so this could be the capping piece.
Washington is interesting tho, ill have to check out how Wieters is doing. Thanks tho gonna use one of these 2.
So I'm gonna send Ramos Milwaukee way, but gonna keep Ramos in mind for a potential WAS FA pickup.

Re: MLB 18 The Show Trade Discussion
Swihart is damn close to getting DFAed. The Red Sox aren't really in a position of strength here

Re: MLB 18 The Show Trade Discussion
What would it take for the Red Sox to acquire one of the following lefties? If you could give me an idea on each, that would be great.
Jake Diekman - TEX - FA after 2018
Jerry Blevins - NYM - FA after 2018
Kevin Siegrist - PIT - FA after 2019
Will Smith - SF - FA after 2018
Tony Watson - SF - FA after 2018
If I don't go with one of the Giants lefties, what would it also take to acquire Hunter Strickland? He's a free agent after 2020.
I'm only a few weeks into the season so stats are pointless, plus I probably won't be making a deal until at least June.

Re: MLB 18 The Show Trade Discussion
If my calculations are correct
Diekman is 2.9 which means lotto ticket for him
Blevins is 4.2 which means lotto ticket for him
Watson has negative value by like 2 so a better lotto ticket your way plus him for a worse lotto ticket their way
Smith is tough didnt pitch in 2017 was so so in 2016 im assuming a lotto ticket works for him and
Ill let someone else handle Siegriest as he is arb player currently and either hurt or pitching in the minors this yearComment

In real life Siegrist is on the suspended list because he refused to play in the minors, but in game, he hasn’t allowed a run through 12 innings in the majors.

Re: MLB 18 The Show Trade Discussion
I'm gonna need Siegrists contract in your chise to give you a value on him.
But as for the others, here's what I got for their value.
Diekman: 2.87m
Blevins: 4.16m
Smith: -0.88m
Watson: 1.95m
So obviously Smith is the cheapest option with his value only netting a simple lottery pick, although some might say he's worth more than that. But not according to the numbers apparently.
With these values I would suggest staying away from Blevins as at his age I think it's overpay. Bottom line tho is none of these guys are going to require anyone special to acquire.
If you want any of them i say just ship 2 lottery players that teams way and feel good about it.

Siegrist is making $1.6M this year and is arbitration eligible next year. What about a return for Strickland? He has two arbitration years after this season.

So that's about two 75-100 prospects. Personally I wouldn't give that for Strickland, but that's up to you.

Re: MLB 18 The Show Trade Discussion
I can calculate Siegrist based on your chise if you want, but in reality I say he's worth a lottery player probably 2.
