    Re: Official MLB 20 the Show Trade Discussion Thread

    Couple of trades were just made between AI teams. RedSox trade Rusney Castillo 1M salary, FA next year, to Cleveland for Oliver Perez. Also in his last year of his deal.

    Second deal way more intriguing...Rays trade Yandy Diaz to NYM for Dom Smith. Trade simulator isn’t a fan but I realize this isn’t real life so things can change. Currently it’s June 4th in my franchise. I’m thinking Rays have to free up a spot for Wander. They can shift Adames to 3rd and put Wander at SS. But it’s nice to see the AI making moves that seem to make sense.

      Giants trying to work out a trade with the red soxs. I would like to send Drew Smyly over to the red soxs. Red Soxs dont have a strong farm system and Drew Smyly wouldnt cost alot.

      I would like to get Jonathan Arauz in return.

      Redsox get Drew Smyly

      Giants get Jonathan Arauz +???

      Any ideas would be helpful. Trying to be fair but every name i choose makes me feel like either im not getting a good return or im getting to much.

        Arauz is worth a fair amount more than Smyly using the calc. Also worth noting that Arauz is a Rule 5 pick so assuming you want realism, he can’t be optioned during 2020 or else he’d be returned to Houston.

          Anyone have any good trade ideas to get rid of Lance Lynn? Want a different SP.

          With morale boosts he's rated an 88 but his lack of control makes him difficult to play with, and he has a 10 mil contract so budget issues are a thing too.

          Want to trade him for ideally a SP in 85+ range

            Re: Official MLB 20 the Show Trade Discussion Thread

            Hey all, first post on here. Here is a quick rundown of what's going on in my franchise so far.
            I've moved the Houston Astros to Colorado Springs and renamed them the Sky Sox. I've also released all their players, hopped over to OOTP for a sec, held an expansion draft, and then filled up my MLB the Show 20 roster with the results of the OOTP expansion draft.
            I am currently in second place in the AL West, and, despite my best efforts, I think that my first season is going to be a bust. I am in late August of 2020 and I am 16 games out of first place. I think I'll get into the wild card, but I doubt I'll go very far beyond that. I have two big issues, I lack a true number one starter, and I have a black hole at first base.
            I started the season with Luke Voit at first, then right after the all star break I traded him for Josh Bell, thinking I was getting an upgrade. Bell had 18 dingers and a .288 batting average up to that point. Bell then proceeded to fall off a CLIFF and in one month with my Sky Sox he's batting .100 with 1 dinger, playing full time.
            As for my starting rotation, here's what I've got
            Trevor Bauer (Having a fantastic year, I'll definitely resign him)
            Madison Bumgarner (Likewise, having a great year)
            Zack Wheeler (Keeping his ERA just below 4, good enough)
            David Price (He's either vintage David Price, or he gives up like 8 runs, very uneven)
            Mike Foltynewicz (Having a solid year, ERA around 3.60)

            So, here's my thinking. This offseason I want to pull the trigger on two trades if I can, let me know if you guys think this is possible.
            Trade Number One:
            Josh Bell and Mike Foltynewicz to the New York Yankees for Giancarlo Stanton and an A potential prospect (if you have any ideas on who, lemme know)
            Reasoning: The Yankees are probably looking to dump Stanton's gigantic contract, and he had a bit of a down year this season. Plus, my DH this season, Corey Dickerson, has been mediocre, and I could use an upgrade. Sticking Stanton at DH would also decrease the chances of injury.

            I should probably mention the rest of my outfield to make it clear why I don't want Stanton playing in the field. In right I've got Mookie Betts, center I have Kevin Kiermaier, and in left I have surprise all star, home run derby participant, and 30+ home run hitting Mike Yastrzemski.

            Trade Number Two:
            A potential prospect from Yankees, Jordan Balazovic, and Brendan Rodgers to the New York Mets for Jacob DeGrom and Dominic Smith.
            Reasoning: The Mets are solidly out of contention this season, but DeGrom is still elite. He would give me a true ace. The only issue is putting together the right prospect package to reel him in. I'd also need Dominic Smith to fill the hole at first base.

              It is really hard to give advice on trades in fictitious franchises like fantasy drafts, etc. But the Degrom trade is too light. You want an ace but need to give up better pospects. For the Mets to ship DeGrom to the Yankees it would take a massive overpay. The current deal doesn't even include enough value for DeGrom in a non-overpay scenario

                The calc values also include current season stats. Assuming Smyly is having a good season his value would be higher they what the calc currently shows which is a -0.1.

                  Re: Official MLB 20 the Show Trade Discussion Thread

                  Getting annoyed with my 2B options. Brendan Rodgers is my starter, hitting .235, A potential 73 overall. Twins are looking for a 3B in a swap for Luis Arraez who is hitting .600 in 8 games this season. We are in mid June and he can't get a game behind D.J Lemahieu who is ripping the ball for the Twins in his first of 4 year contract. They have Josh Donaldson also though and Keoni Cavaco waiting in the wings at 3rd who is an overall 66 with A potential but struggling in single A so far at 19yrs old.
                  Now at 3rd I have Austin Riley who has struggled this season and got half a season last year after breaking his leg. We brought in Addison Russell to cover last year and hes run away with the job hitting .302 and a OBP of .384

                  Trade Austin Riley (A potential overall 74 1/2 years at 475k) to Minnesota for Luis Arraez (potential B overall 81 1/4 years at 1.6 mil)???? What says the OS forum?

                    What would a Lourdes Gurriel Jr trade to the Indians look like?

                    I was thinking this:

                    Indians get: Gurriel Jr

                    Jays get: jake bauers, tristian McKenzie, Sam Hentges

                        For Indians/Jays it looks like Gurriel can be had for Bauers + a lesser prospect than Hentges. No need to give up McKenzie. I know there are some Jays fans/franchisors in here so one of them should chime in.

                        For Rockies/Twins its year 2 of your franchise right? What were Arraez numbers in 2020?

                          Correct year 2 and we are only 6 games back in the division and 3.5 back in the wildcard. Arraez wasnt getting games last season either. He played in about half the games with a .286 average and OBS of .360.
                          Like I said Austin Riley wasnt bad last year just got injured and Addison has outperformed in every step of the way since that fateful broken leg.

                            I just started a new franchise with the Phillies, and am really struggling with the direction that I should take the team. The roster has some solid players but also some really terrible contracts.

                            Does anyone have any good trade suggestions for either a rebuild or trying to contend right away? Thanks!

                              It works on the trade calculator. Personally I would prefer to have Gurriel, but I don’t think I value Bauers highly.

                                Arenado is the face of that franchise and probably headed to Cooperstown in a Rockies cap with a few more good years. If I’m them I want Dominguez and more


                                You can trade someone on the DL. I just did one and it worked. I have 30 team control so maybe that’s the difference.
