MLB The Show 24 Trade Discussion

Re: MLB The Show 24 Trade Discussion

I ended up trading Gelof and Rooker for Holliday. Not sure if it's the most realistic, but they were seeking a RF and a 2B. Orioles have a losing record, and are 10 games behind 1st. I figured, I can give them Rooker and Gelof since they can have control over both of them for a few years as they rebuild.

I mean, there is a part of my brain that gets it, though it's not in the scenario that you described...

Baltimore needs high-end/controllable starting pitching...If they were to trade him, I have to think it would be for that.

*IF* they were contending, and their pitching was holding up, sure, if the OF is the biggest need, Rooker would be a great piece for them. My concern is the fact that Gelof would simply slide into Holliday's place on the depth chart (Which I'm assuming is why he's always on the block), and inevitably be the next guy to slide into their trade block. Personally, I boosted his ratings up a bit so that he'd get some more AB's, and that seemed to help take him away from his permanent spot on the block (I'm not the Orioles). If RF is the biggest need for that team, spend some of the money that new ownership said they'd spend!

FWIW, Baseballtradevalues.com thinks it's reasonably fair, but that site quickly became a dumpster fire. A bit too much emphasis on $'s owed IMO.

Certainly not trying to talk you out of the trade, because I love Rooker, but MAN(!!!), I miss the old days where the trade thread was like 50+ pages long, and everyone was tossing out trade ideas.

Cheers!

Let's gooooooo...

baseballtradevalues.com came in so strong at the start, but just seemed to fall off hard once they added the paid subscription. I have no issue with the subscription model, it just seemed like they started to adjust values to appease the crowd, and try to make every trade seem "fair" once completed, while also completely neglecting defensive value.

Such a shame.

I'm pretty sure this is the first year I didn't make this thread in a hot minute? Lol.


Everyone seemed to want to just use that, so I didn't feel the need to come in here and chat any longer.


Feeling better for next year [emoji4]

Anyone want to take a break from the '25 hype to talk trades??

I'm at the 2024 trade deadline in my franchise and trying to find a good package for Alex Bregman.

Using the Kyle Tucker trade as a bit of a base - although in theory he should be less since he's a mid-season rental:

Cubs get:
Alex Bregman (.289/.389/.490, 19 HR, 4.1 WAR in 102 G)

Astros get:
Christopher Morel (.199/.249 (I can't walk lol)/.447, 22 HR, -0.5 WAR in 91 G)
+ Hayden Wesneski (3.36 ERA, 2.85 FIP, 7.98 K/9, 2.94 BB/9, 0.42 HR/9 in 85 IP @ AAA)
+ Ben Brown OR Owen Caissie (I can provide stats for both if needed, but trying to keep it brief - both performing alright at AAA)

Context: Morel's stats have taken a real hit over the last month (he was much more respectable at the beginning of July but he's hit a real skid) but the power potential is still there. I'm looking to sure up defense at 3B and get a bit more contact/discipline in the lineup as opposed to the swing & miss.

Astros are having a very disappointing season thanks to a horrendous pitching staff, but I don't think their going full rebuild with some of their solid core position players still performing and controllable - so likely looking to cash in on a few pieces and look to compete again in 25.

Added Context - the other team that seems to make sense in terms of need and a possible competitive Package is the Brewers:

Brewers get: Bregman

Astros get:
Garrett Mitchell (stuck in AAA behind Chourio/Yelich/Wiemer/Frelick but hitting like a monster there .292/.377/.458, 10 HR in 79 G @ AAA)
+Jacob Misiorowski (5.61 ERA, 4.00 FIP, 12.1 K/9, 7.82 BB/9, 0.74 HR/9 in 61 IP at AAA - looking like the reliever risk is quite high here)
+DL Hall (poor results starting in AAA but looking like he could be a high leverage reliever)

Does my (Cubs) package beat out the Brewers? I'm using 30-team control but want to be fair
