Re: MLB The Show 22 Trade Discussion Thread

Hey guys,

Wanted to kinda drop on here and see if I can get some opinions on a couple things with my Pirates franchise. I know some of you guys on here are savants with this trade stuff so wanted to get some general ideas, as I'm closing in on the All Star break and looking to make some moves. I'll list a couple of guys I'm looking to maybe get rid of as well as some targets I'm looking for here so hopefully that will help. Thank you all so much in advance for helping me with this, I'll definitely be active on here more often!

Pieces I'm looking to move:
Zach Thompson (ERA hanging around 4, 3-7 record due to no hitting at times, since he's 28 I think he might be useful for a team that might need a pitcher in the back end of the rotation due to injury)
Jose Quintana (3.6 ERA this year. Similar to Thompson, but a veteran option too. Trying to move at least one to free up MLB space for younger guys)
David Bednar (Been solid, over 20 saves thus far with an ERA under 2)

Reynolds would take a hell of a deal, hitting about .285 with a .900 OPS. I'm not opposed to trying to resign, best thought was White Sox to get Jimenez and a couple of their young guys (need a good young starter in the deal) or Rays maybe for Brujan/Josh Lowe + Pitcher or something

Also was looking into maybe shipping Cruz off. He got hurt earlier this year for a month and a half, hit .450 in AA for a week and is hitting over .350 in AAA. But Peguro has been awesome for me, hitting around .300 all year even in a recent slump. I was looking into moving him to maybe a Baltimore for a Mountcastle centered deal or was curious to see what my return might be on Cruz if I decide Peguro is my guy and there's enough value

Some Targets:
Cavan Biggio (Might be able to revitalize a sinking career, he'll also be coming off an injury to his forearm in a week, has only 45 AB this year)
Ryan Mountcastle (.770 OPS, 18 HR)
Nate Pearson (AAA)
Matt Manning & Joey Wentz
Jonah Heim (Hit .200 in MLB, sent to AAA)


Any response would be greatly appreciated. Thank you all!

Rebuilding the A's:


Ramon Laureano to the Marlins for Max Meyer


Frankie Montas to the Giants for Kyle Harrison, Hunter Bishop, Will Bednar


Thoughts?

According to BTV, you're robbing yourself pretty heavily on the Laureano deal. Throwing in SP Sixto Sanchez and SS Yidde Cappe still isn't enough, but its a hell of a lot closer.
As for the Giants trade, the value lines up well, but their rotation seems pretty lock solid so I imagine their concern is their lack of juice in their batting order. When I was considering moving Montas, I thought Minnesota, St. Louis, and Philly were much better fits.

Ok guys need some trade advice here. I’m a big realism sim style player so I’m looking to see if this seems like something either of these teams would pull off.

I’m using Franchise to Fidelity Rosters

First year of my franchise, year 2022
(BTV =Baseball Trade Values)

Braves (56-24) Receive:
RP Jordan Hicks, 84 OVR B POT
(2.4 BTV)


Cardinals (33-50) Receive:
SS Braden Shewmake, 69 OVR B POT
(6.8 BTV)
SP Tucker Davidson, 72 OVR C POT
(5 BTV)



Atlanta has been on a tear and is looking for another solid RHP option out of the pen. They’re extending Swanson so with Albies being tied down, they have no space for Shewmake.

St. Louis has been awful all year. Bottom 10 in MLB in Nearly every offensive and defensive category.
Hicks only has 30 stamina and is being used exclusively as a reliever for STL. Hicks has had a rough year (33 IP, 5.02 ERA) but has team control until ‘24.

I could see Shewmake (who is having a solid year at the AAA level (.879 OPS) and Davidson helping them out within 2 years, although some older players like Goldschmidt, Arenado could put them in win now mode which makes this trade not feasible.

I see this trade both ways.

Obviously BTV think the cards are getting a steal here but BTV also lacks some context within my actual save.

Thoughts?

Need some more context to this based on where each team is at in your save.

Wouldn’t make much sense for the mariners to trade a homegrown talent that is only 26 with a Career 122 OPS+ who is under team control until 2026 for a prospect who hasn’t played above A ball and isn’t a top 100 prospect and a utility IF who doesn’t provide much value.

Of course, context changes these things a lot depending on your franchise.

So I'm under the belief that the context of your actual save is making this an even bigger steal on their end because Hicks is struggling. Why would a team pay more for a struggling player? If the Cards are looking at a reload or a quick flip, I think 1 of the 2 you're offering is more than fair, both is overkill.

So I’m the Braves in this scenario.

Definitely don’t want to fleece the AI but I did feel like Hicks had more value in the game then BTV shows.

He’s off to a bad start but his attributes (H9, K/9, ETC) are really solid for a RP.

I tossed Davidson in as a filler but I was also thinking just Shewmake gets that deal done.

Not rebuilding as much as with the pitching prospect depth in the org, it's hard to justify spending 27+ mil long term the game keeps asking. Best I seem to do is 9 mil for 2 more years then jumps near 30 or more.

Yankees would have to add alot to Dominguez and Gil. Like alot alot.

Good point. But I'm thinking only teams that would trade for beebs would be a team that thinks they could sign him to a contract, and also a team that would give up prospects like Dominguez that are future stars but still a year or 2 away. Like the Mariners wouldn't trade Julio for example but you could get Julio in the game for beebs. Yankees also have that future star SS I'm drawing a blank on his name. I guess I'm thinking more about getting future stars in return. My bad.

Dodgers and Mets are over budget. Red Sox maybe?

Playing as the Rockies and CJ Cron is having an MVP caliber year. At the all star break he’s at .290, 25 HR, 58 RBI. He’s been carrying me but I’m 7 games out of the wild card and thinking I’d be wise to trade him now since his value can’t get any higher. He has one more year on his contract after this so I think that makes him very attractive to a contender.

I’m targeting the Rays for a package including Xavier Edwards. He’s having a below average year in my save, but for the sake of argument we’ll say his real life value is still fair for this. I’d love to snag a SP prospect too but don’t know if adding someone like Cole Wilcox from the Rays makes it too much return for Cron? Wilcox is having a good year in AA at 7-5 with 87 IP, 83 K, 3.31 ERA, 1.41 WHIP. Would Cron for Edwards and Wilcox be realistic and fair value in my save? My preference is to be on the lower side of return if anything, so I don’t want it to be a fringe type fair deal. I’m ok with adding Ryan Vilade if that balances it out. The Rays are thin on OF prospects so I think he’s a solid add.

The Rays are projected to make the playoffs and I made another trades by them to get Willson Contreras, so they’re already in win now mode. I think adding Cron makes their lineup much more dangerous.

It's still early in the season, but what would it take to get the following players to the Red Sox? These guys are all on losing teams.



Andrew Benintenti (106 AB, .255 AVG, 3 HR, 15 RBI, .339 OBP, FA after 2022)

Whit Merrifield (129 AB, .256 AVG, 2 HR, 9 RBI, .299 OBP, FA after 2023)

David Peralta (108 AB, .231 AVG, 4 HR, 12 RBI, .291 OBP, FA after 2022)

Joc Pederson (90 AB, .222 AVG, 6 HR, 11 RBI, .307 OBP, FA after 2022)

Mike Yastrzemski (104 AB, .279 AVG, 8 HR, 24 RBI, .359 OBP, FA after 2025)

Re: MLB The Show 22 Trade Discussion Thread

I'm running an A's franchise and traded Frankie Montas and Shea Langeliers to the Yankees for Anthony Volpe and Luis Gil. Thoughts?


Context:

The A's were in last place in the AL West by a LOT, and that combined with the rumors around Montas IRL made me want to trade him. Sean Murphy is absolutely raking, with a .278 average and 16 HRs, and with him and Tyler Soderstrom I figured Langeliers was the odd man out.

The Yankees were in first place in the AL East by 1 game, but had an injury to Jordan Montgomery, who was pitching great. I figured they could use a starter.
