MLB 18 The Show Trade Discussion

Re: MLB 18 The Show Trade Discussion

Starting a franchise with the Orioles. Would like to acquire one of Santana/Broxton/Phillips. Plan on simming to the deadline to do these deals to see if I need to move on from Machado too.

What would make sense going back to MIL?

Thanks

Are you willing to move any of your starters named Bundy or Gausman?

Also looking at value for Britton, O’Day and Adam Jones.

Britton could probably fetch one top 51-100 prospect, O'Day could fetch two lotto higher up lotto tickets, and Jones is valuable but is in a contract year and he plays close to his contract...he could fetch a prospect in the 110-130 range and a lotto ticket.

What would it take to get Edwin Diaz of the Mariners to the Cubs. I know this wouldn't be realistic. But I would just like to know value wise what it would cost. Since he is a reliever I'm unsure of what to give up. Thanks.

Diaz is roughly worth ~$30.5 million in surplus so he is pretty valuable.

That could get two top 76-100 pitching prospects or one top 51-100 prospect along with a bottom end 100 pitching prospect.

I believe it would be similar as to what Ken Giles went for.

What do I have to give up to get Archer to the Yankees. I know that it is inter division but I am just curious. Thanks

Re: MLB 18 The Show Trade Discussion

Archer is worth about a $38 million value.

Are you sure about that? That seems very, very low. He has 4 year left at only about $33m and is averaging about 4 WAR a year over the past 4 years. Not sure what the current price of WAR is but I'd have thought he'd work out at lest twice as valuable as that?

Marte is roughly worth $67 million in surplus.

That is a top 11-25 prospect and a lotto ticket or a few top 100 prospects. He is expensive to acquire.

Archer is going to hurt for interdivision trading as he is already a good bit valuable.

Florial + Sheffield + one more decent prospect would likely get it done.

Yep. Minus his contract from his worth that is what I come out to.

I also do $8.5 million to 1 WAR.

Am I going wrong somewhere then? 4 years of 4 WAR @ $8.5m per WAR = $136m. Minus the $34m of his contract and that leaves just over $100m doesn't it? or am I doing my maths wrong somewhere?

Why are you giving him 4 WAR a year? He has only done that once ever...he is a 1.5 WAR to 2 WAR player.

Archer? I was going off fangraphs which gave his WAR over the past 4 years as 3.2, 5.2, 3.2, 4.6

Re: MLB 18 The Show Trade Discussion

Will be starting up my stros once the rosters drop. First order of buisness...

Goodbye Tony Sipp!!

Knowing he is virtually worthless, I’m thinking of packaging him with McCugh & A.J. reed.

Thoughts on a target or fair return. Would be looking for a reliever preferably with atleast 1 year of team control, left handed

Re: MLB 18 The Show Trade Discussion

2 trade proposals :

Trade 1
Orioles Acquire : SP Chase Anderson
Brewers Acquire : C Chance Cisco

Rational : Orioles upgrade rotation with a solid starter and Brewers add a top 100 prospect at one of their weaker positions.

Trade 2
Orioles Acquire 3B Matt Chapman
Athletics Acquire RP Mychal Givens

Rational : Orioles add a 3B of the future with power and great defense and the A's add a quality pre arb reliever to the pen.

Re: MLB 18 The Show Trade Discussion

I'm looking to pull of a few pre-season trades in my franchise. Any help on values would be appreciated

1.
SF gets: Phillips/Santana/Broxton
MIL gets: Pitchers (Possibly Strickland?)
2.
ATL gets: Ryan Rua
TEX gets: Pitching
3.
OAK gets: Yasmani Grandal
LAD gets: ?
4.
DET gets: Kolten Wong
STL gets: Nike Goodrum

Not sure how well these work

Interesting thought.

Collin McHugh + Tony Sipp for Zach Britton.

Orioles get a starter that has been good in the past that is under control for a reasonable amount, and if he produces a 1.5 WAR he is about equal to the amount of what Britton will produce for you in one year. Sipp then just adds a lefty reliever for Baltimore to replace Britton. Win-win for both sides.

First one is pretty perfect value wise as I don't think Chase will duplicate a 4 WAR season, throw in one more prospect like DL Hall and that's a go...but the Brewers aren't really rebuilding so it isn't the most realistic.


Chapman is roughly going to be worth ~$138 million in surplus...

For example the #1 prospect in baseball is ranked at $73.5 million in surplus.

He can almost bring in two (!) number one prospects. Givens is not even close to enough.
