What if I change Lincoln to Victor Martinez???

Still not enough. I don't think you're willing to pony up for Latos

Who would I have to give up???

Re: 2012 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Would Romero, Dwight Smith Jr., and Victor Martinez be enough for Adrain Gonzalez??? I'm just looking for fairness not realism.

Re: 2012 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

For Latos? Max Scherzer, Aaron Sanchez (he should be an A pot. but if he's not, give up a pitching prospect with A potential, Colby Rasmus and another B prospect at 3B ( don't know the Jays system super well, maybe AC can helP me out with that one)

What about:
Anibal Sanchez and Omar Infante for Max Scherzer, Jeff Mathis, and Brian Roberts Fair???

Mathis is worthless. Sanchez and Scherzer might be equal but Infante > Brian Roberts (who I think was doing piss poor in your franchise no?)

He's gotten better. He has better stats that Infante.

Dude you're waaaaaaaay off on all of these trades, and you pretty much ignored everything I said. Good luck finding a deal because I'm not helping anymore if I'm just gonna be ignored

You didn't even give me an opinion on the Marlins trade.

Does it really matter where I sent this from???

Re: 2012 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Okay...
I'm in 2016 of my franchise(the off season before)
I managed to win the World Series in 2015 due to a great 2014-15 off season where I was able to outbid the Phillies for Clayton Kershaw. He's signed to a 4 year 20 million per contract.
I landed Ian Kennedy in a trade..(he's my #2 and surprising good)...and after that it's Matt Harvey at 3....Dillon Gee at 4 and whoever I can get together at 5(last year it was a mix of Chris Capuano and Zach Wheeler for a spell...Jake Westbrook when Cap got injured.

My bullpen was mediocre at best...and I'm surprised I made the playoffs let alone won any of the series....let alone the W.S.

Here is the deal....I'm strapped budget wise....and I need to free up some cash for a reliever(my best one just retired! ) and a CF(Ellsbury is up...and Venters is also up for FA...and he's a friggin beast)

There are only a few teams willing to take on Kershaw's salary...
Texas is one and they are willing to deal me.

Holland(1 year left on his deal he's making 3 mil...I'm going to have to pay to keep him I know)
B Catcher
A RF
for
Kershaw(3 years left on his deal)

I know what you guys are thinking...KERSHAW!
But I could really use a leadoff CF and a quality RP(not much after Venters)

Trading Kershaw would free up that cash.

I do have Wheeler waiting in the wings as well.

What do you think?

Re: 2012 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

You're not nearly getting enough for Kershaw.

Re: 2012 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

You're not nearly getting enough for Kershaw.

I know....
I literally ran the 2015 campaign with $600,000.00 available and I didn't have much salary coming off(I overpayed to keep David Wright for 5 years....and he's declining....so much that I considered moving him to 2nd and signing Longoria instead of a CF)

But the big problem is there are only a handful of teams willing to take that salary..
Yanks(they have nothing to return)
Phillies(I'd rather put my head through a windshield)
Dodgers(nothing)
Red Sox(STACKED at SP)
Texas

You're right though....I've got to get creative.
