With the release date coming up soon, I know many on here like to bounce ideas off others for possible trades in their franchise so I figured it wouldn't hurt to get this thread going.
It would also be nice for people to not use their thread because they feel like arguing. Discussion is fine, but lets not come into here with the sole intention to argue with someone, as it has been seen in the past. If you ask for advice about a trade, and people give you feedback that is not what you wanted, just move on and not argue why they are wrong. If you disagree that's fine, and remember each franchise is your own and you are free to do whatever you want in your own franchise universe. Some people have a tendency to immediately start arguing with everyone who gave feedback. Remember people are on here spending their free time to give feedback on trades, lets remain respectful.
https://www.baseballtradevalues.com/trade-simulator/ is a good tool to use when trying to evaluate trades. You can use it to see the availability of certain players (none-very high) and their trade value. Now this will only work for trades for the 2022 season and maybe 2023/2024 seasons to a lesser extent. Feel free to use it to help with your trade ideas.
Context to the situation - What are the teams records? How is their prospect development at the position in question? What are the finances of the player and the team? How is the player doing statistically? Are there any injury circumstances? The more specific you could be the better, especially when it comes to fictional trades and trades 5+ years in the future.
Ratings - Make sure to explain the ratings and potentials. Maybe in your franchise someone has significantly hire ratings or potential than in other people's franchise. Maybe it's a fictional player or maybe you adjusted ratings in your franchise on your own. No matter what, this is valuable information. What is their overall and potential?
Fair & realistic - Are you looking for one or the other, or both? This will help people when they give feedback to you. You can use the trade simulator tool to post a screenshot or something to help illustrate your trade.
Layout - If you layout your trade or what you are looking for in an organized manner, it will help. Here is how I layout trades when I look for feedback. You do not have to use this, and feel free to do it however you want, but remember that organization helps.
For example:
Giants Receive
SP Luis Castillo (MLB) 90 Overall - A Potential
1B Joey Votto (MLB) 85 Overall - A Potential
Reds Receive
SS Marco Luciano (A) 60 Overall - A Potential
OF Heliot Ramos (AAA) 70 overall - B Potential
Happy trading!
