MLB The Show Trade Discussion Thread

Re: MLB The Show Trade Discussion Thread

I'm nearing the end of the 2020 season in my franchise and I'm curious about what would be reasonable expectations for returns for a few guys in my franchise in the offseason. I'm the Cubs and playing MLB 20 so I'm wanting to make a few moves that somewhat reflect what happened in real life. Key word here is, "somewhat." Because there's a 0% chance I let (for example) Kyle Schwarber just walk non-tendered like th did in real life.

Schwarber has a slash of .300/.401/.631, has 39 homers and 94 RBIs. So, to say the least he's had a good year. A career year, in fact. There's a decent chance I just keep him because he was my favorite Cub the past 5-6 years. But, I'm also considering trading him to Washington, which is where this thread comes in. What would be the expected return for him in this situation? He was one year left of team control so the Nationals would have him for one year (2021). If I did trade him I'd want to sign Joc Pederson like the Cubs did in real life to, "replace," Schwarber's production. Would a one-for-one with Patrick Corbin be acceptable? I don't feel like the Nationals would give up a guy like him with 4 years of control and their #3 pitcher, but I could be wrong.

Same story for Yu Darvish. He's 19-4 with a 3.79 ERA. He's had a really good year and is in the mix for the NL Cy Young. If I traded him to San Diego I feel like I'd need a little more return then what the Cubs got in real life.

Re: MLB The Show Trade Discussion Thread

I am looking at acquire a 3B for a playoff stretch and I wouldn’t like to bring Donaldson back to Toronto. He’s valued at -31.7 so I’m unsure of how to make a trade work. Any ideas??

Looking at next years 2022 options for CF as the Braves. Super interested in Bryan Reynolds.

Is this even doable?

I would think the trade starts with Pache and Waters. What else would be required? I had one that was close adding in Muller and Langliers. But the roster I’m using is post deadline where I suppressed potentials. Only 35 or so A potential prospects anyone else in top 100 is 85-89

Twins send Donaldson and return Austin Martin to eat the cost of his contract?

Kidding. Donaldson is a hard one. In game, his regression seems to hit fast and hard. I have a hard time believing that the Twins would attach prospects given where they are, but it also depends on where they are in your franchise. They went to the ALCS in year one of mine.

Pache and Waters have both seen a hit on their value this season...A combination of the Braves top 3 prospects (Langeliers, Pache and Waters) would still leave you $21.7 mil in SV short. Adding Michael Harris would get you there, but acquiring 3 outfielders and a catcher doesn't sound like the ideal return. Maybe Langeliers+Pache+Waters+Muller? It's a farm gutting move, for sure.

Re: MLB The Show Trade Discussion Thread

Nearing the 2021 Trade Deadline in my Cubs franchise, and looking to add a few pieces for one last playoff push with the old core.

I could use another Starter, as well as a decent lefty out of the pen, and I'm also looking to add a high-contact/OBP bat to the lineup...preferably at 2B or an Outfield spot.

Some names that came to mind for me:

Whit Merrifield--unlikely to pull the trigger here...he is having an excellent season, and the Royals have been sneaky competitive to this point. I don't think the Cubs have the prospect capital it would take to get a deal done.

Adam Frazier--based on the real life trade I think this might be doable...inter division trades can get tricky though.

Jose Iglesias--Having a solid season with the Angels, who are still in the playoff hunt entering July, so I will have to see what the next few weeks bring.

James Paxton--Mariners are out of it, and Paxton is having a solid rebound season

I'd like to hang on to Brennan Davis as he is tearing up AA right now. Any feedback to get the ball rolling on some of these guys would be appreciated

Marlins franchise

Before 2022 season:
Elieser Hernandez to CWS for Zack Collins
Jorge Alfaro and Joe Panik to STL for Jordan Hicks

About 3 weeks into the season, was in last place in the division

Traded Magneuris Sierra to DET for Jose Cisnero

That allowed me to call up JJ Bleday and he has been killing it. The season turned around from that point. Managed to rail off a 15 game winning streak at one point in late May. Now in the first week of June and 1 game behind ATL for 1st. Hicks leads the NL in saves

Looking to trade Jesus Aguilar and Pablo Lopez for either a big name 1B or CF. I’d then call up Max Meyer to take Lopez’s spot in the rotation.

Re: MLB The Show Trade Discussion Thread

In my franchise the Padres are in last place, and as the Red Sox I’m looking for a first base bat to hit lefties, and I’m willing to take on Hosmer if the Padres include some young talent.

Would guys like Paddack and Campusano be available? Paddack has struggled mightily so far and Campusano is stuck in AAA.

I’d also be willing to take Myers if it meant dumping J.D. Martinez even though he’s played well. I just hate being handcuffed into having the DH spot tied up to one guy unless he plays really only left field to give Verdugo, Duran, or Renfroe a break.

Re: MLB The Show Trade Discussion Thread

So I’m looking to move Pablo Lopez and Jesus Aguilar in my Marlins franchise but I want it realistic. The game would accept them 2 for Ketel Marte. Too crazy? Maybe throw in a prospect?

Pablo Lopez is worth a little less than double what Ketel is worth ($65.9 vs. $37.3).

That being said, I can't imagine the D'backs are in a position to be doing much more than selling Marte for prospects at this point.

If you wanted Marte, you could probably do something like Watson+Bleday, but that's kind of a farm-gutting move. If it's just that you want to move Lopez, a decent trade that I saw recently was:

MIA: Lopez
Twins: Arraez+Balazovic+Strotman+Rooker

MLB The Show Trade Discussion Thread

Xander Bogaerts was off to big start for me but he’s since cooled, and I’m struggling to use him (for some reason I can’t bat with him), so I’m thinking about a trade.

What could I get for him? Obviously he’s a big time player at a premium position under control for 4.5 more years.

As of right now, the Indians seem like the best and most realistic option in my franchise. Rosario has struggled some so he could move to second to make room.

I like Logan Allen, Bo Naylor, Yu Chang, Nolan Jones. Is that too much? #3, #6, #10, and a utility guy who doesn’t get a ton of playing time.

Re: MLB The Show Trade Discussion Thread

looking for feedback on a realistic trade in my mariners rebuild, Im trying to trade for Padres RP Pagan. Heres the package:

Steckenrider -29-c-79ovr
Munoz- 21- b- 65 ovr

For Pagan- 28-b-79 ovr

does this seem like a fair deal?

Re: MLB The Show Trade Discussion Thread

I've just started a new Franchise with the Reds and would like some realistic options for trading Mike Moustakas. The Reds front office have basically said that they're looking to cut salary this off-season and have already made moves to that end. Trading Moose has been mentioned in the past and it seems reasonable to assume that they're looking to move him sooner rather than later. Moustakas is currently listed as -29 on BTV, however, so finding trade partners might be tough.

One of the only ways to get real positive value for Moose would be to trade him alongside Luis Castillo. It wouldn't be surprising if the Reds were to commit to a rebuild this off-season, or at least after the next deadline, so cashing in on one of their most valuable assets might make sense. Does this seem realistic?

One realistic move is to trade for another bad contract that only has one year left so you get the pain over with quicker. You might have to kick in a decent prospect with this deal.


Another option is to look for an AL team in need of a lefty bat with some pop and trade for a prospect plus a semi bad contract worth about half of what Moose makes.


The third option is to package him with SP(Mahle, Castillo, or Gray) to a team in need of SP, but that will cut the return for those pitchers in half.


You could also package him with a really good prospect(Lodolo, McClain, Hendrick etc) and get a decent MLB player back that isn't making too much money.


I wouldn't package him with Castillo or Mahle as I think those two are the biggest bullets the Reds have in a rebuild and I would maximize their returns.

Would a trade for Scott Kingery from the Phillies be a potentially realistic option? Reds could pick up a reclamation project making less money than Moose along with a prospect, whilst the Phillies get an infielder who can actually contribute to the lineup along with with a starting pitcher.

It could look something like this:

Reds get:
Scott Kingery: -15
Andrew Painter: 10.3
-4.7

Phillies get:
Mike Moustakas: -32.5
Sonny Gray: -28.3
-4.2

The numbers work out but you could easily swap in a pair of lesser prospects if Painter is too much. Or maybe Ethan Wilson.

Does this seem realistic?
