Rays(me) get:
Brain Giles

Padres get:
Gabe Gross

Then I did this trade with the A's;

Rays get:
Matt Holliday

A's get:
Brain Giles
Neil Welton some AA short stop
Ben Sheets, I signed him just to make this trade work out.

So now my lineup looks like this:
1 BJ Upton
2 Carl Crawford
3 Evan Longoria
4 Carlos Pena
5 Matt Holliday/Pat Burrell
6 Matt Holliday/Pat Burrell
7 Dioner Navareo
8 Jason Bartlett
9 Akniori Iwamura

I am so lucky I got Holliday without giving up David Price, Jeff Nieman and Timothy Beckham.

In my Rockies Franchise I just started my 2nd season where I was able to sign Matt Holiday (Bringing him back to Colorado was my number one goal) and JJ Putz. During the offseason I was able to trade Todd Helton and Garret Atkins for Prince Fielder.

Best trade I made was getting rid of Aaron Miles I got a double no prospect player from the Dodgers. Finding someone to take him was what made this a great trade.

The Royals were more than happy to take Miles off my hands, I traded Miles and Chad Fox( AAA-RP 49.1 IP 1.81 ERA) to the Royals for Teahan and Bale, a Lefty reliever who has been lights out since I got him.

No trades through 51 games for me, but I did sign El Duque, whom the Rangers actually did sign.

So far I have made 3 trades, nothing major at all, I needed to adjust my bench and get a decent 3B to fill in for Aramis Ramirez for 2 months, my 2 backup 3B are lost for the year too. I will probably make 1 big deal before the deadline, I need to dump Ted Lilly. I'm gonna wait till the offseason to revamp my lineup. Been hovering around .500 all season 33-34, 4.5 games behind the Cardinals.

Yankees receive:
Hanley Ramirez
Taylor Tankersley

Marlins Receive:
A-Rod
Damaso Marte
Xavier Nady

I know this trade would never happen because no one will take on A-Rod's contract and only a crazy GM (in my opinion) would send Hanley Ramirez away (the only person I would ever possibly trade for amirez if I were a real life GM is Pujols, but even then I still think I would take Ramirez. Can't go wrong with a guy who is a 30/30 .300 hitter with a possibilty of being a 40/40 guy). Anyway The Marlins were all about the deal and I think it was pretty fair. They got a quality outfielder, A-Roid, and a good lefty for the bullpen. I changed A-Rod to a SS for them and he had a good career on the Marlins.

If anyone is wondering why I would trade A-Rod, I hate him. Never have liked him in his entire career. I have been following Hanley Ramirez since he was drafted and liek the way he plays. I moved him to 3rd base on the Yankees and he wore number 12. He batted 3rd in front of Texiera. Hit .335 with 34 HR's 115 RBI's 136 R his first year (and 56 SB's). Texiera ended up hitting .315 with 38 HR's 144 RBI. So it was definitely a good 1-2 punch in the 3-4 hole

Nice...Man, as Yankees fan Id take that in real life I don't hate Arod as much as most but I think his personailty is contributing to the Yankees struggles recently. I too like the way Ramirez plays and can tell he would fit well with the Yankiees in real life

Plus, all the Red Sox fans would be pissed since he came from their organization and that would make it that much sweeter

Chris Davis And Michael Young For Evan Longoria And Willy Aybar
I Am The Rangers Chris Davis And Michael Young Less Than 30+ HR
And Evan Longoria More Than 40+

That's actually a fair trade. Wouldn't happen in real life, but you didn't rip off the cpu. Nice trade

re: **All Trades Discussion Thread**

I raped the Reds.

Dodgers get:
Johnny Cueto

Reds get:
Brad Amus
Eric Stults
Devaris Gordon

Cueto was the leader for the CY Young when I traded for him, ended up winning it. Reds still made the playoffs only to lose to the Dbacks in the first round. Devaris is a good prospect for them. But I get a CY Young winner who is in his first year of his 4 year contract. The most he will make is about $600,000 in the contract. All good for me.

You got ripped. HARD.

Fair Trade? no way...Texas would need to give up more than Michael Young who's 34 and Chris Davis for Longoria alone.

re: **All Trades Discussion Thread**

Not really. A bench warmer(I have Lo Duca), a pitcher that I had no need for and a prospect who will probably be decent. But no need for him since I got Furcal. I needed another good starter, so why not a 23 year old with a very cheap contract who is also the CY Young winner?

re: **All Trades Discussion Thread**

I did two more trades in my Rays franchise

This one was a pretty major trade

Rays get:
2B Freddy Sanchez
SS Brian Friday
CF Gorkeys Hernandez

Pirates get:
2B Akinori Iwamura
SS Timothy Beckham
CF Desmond Jennings


Then I traded Hernandez and pitching prospect to the Brewers for Trevor Hoffman. The Brewers are in sell mode in my franchise and so was Pittsburgh

My bullpen now looks like this; Howell, Aardsma (got him from Seattle for Bradford), Balfour Nelson, Wheeler, Percival, Hoffman

My Lineup looks not too bad now

Upton
Crawford
Longoria
Pena
Holliday
Burrell
Navaro
Sanchez
Bartlett

Zobrist
Lo Duca
Kennedy
Kapler

re: **All Trades Discussion Thread**

Any suggestions for a decent shortstop prospect with some potential I could trade for in my Astros franchise?

I need to groom Tejada's replacement and did not get a SS in the draft. I can part with some decent minor league pitching talent (B potential) and am willing to make a 2 for 1 or even 3 for 1 trade.

re: **All Trades Discussion Thread**

Rangers SS Joaquin Arias, just don't screw us over We really have no need for him with Andrus now.
