Re: 2013 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Playing a franchise with the Chicago Cubs and am looking to do a slow build to a winner. So first things first, in year one, I want to deal away Alfonso Soriano and Carol Marmol and their contracts. Looking to pickup some young talent, mainly looking for outfielders, pitchers or a third baseman. Any idea what I could go with?

You could try to get Pedro Alvarez. May not be easy but he is good and I am sure he's got a good potential.

If he's playing realistically, there's 0 chance Pittsburgh gives up Alvarez, and especially not for anything that doesn't involve Garza.

Very true. I looked at his value on the spreadsheet just now. I would take a lot to get him.

Soriano to the Yanks for Phil Hughes?

I think that's too much for Soriano. I think the Yanks are kinda doing the Cubs a favor by taking on that contract. Probably more like 2 Mid-C prospects. He's not worth a whole lot.

I know you said you were looking for a hard throwing reliever with options left. What about Tommy Hunter on the O's. Has options left and although in game he doesn't throw hard, at the end of last season, he was throwing 96-98 out of the pen, so it isn't too unrealistic to beef up his fastball velocity a little.

So I'm thinking of choosing the Brew Crew in my franchise. But not a big fan of Braun. What do you think I should be able to get in return for him?

I don't think he has a particularly large contract in The Show; that, coupled with an extremely productive last year, and the Yankees' desperateness, would probably end up pushing that through.

I've thought about Hunter, yeah. I got to see him a couple times. Even got a picture with him. The guy can definitely chuck. What's a fair return for him considering positional needs? The spreadsheet has him at low C, so I'm thinking Hunter for Moises Sierra or Chris Hawkins could work.

Hey there guys, just finished telling my friend who I'm doing my chise with how good of a job you guys do and now he wants me to post in here for him haha

He's the orioles and really stinks up the place (we sim a lot of games, even back in the show) and hes currently at the allstar break like 20 games under. Needless to say he's rebuilding.

Already shipped off J.J. Hardy, he's looking for young solid talent and looking to get rid of some of the older guys.

Main Positions hes looking for: RP, SS, LF, 2B .
He said nobody on the roster is safe except for the obvious (Jones, Machado, Johnson, etc.) I know I'm not being too specific but if you could give me some teams for him to look at for those 4 specific positions, that'd be great! We'd both really appreciate it

A LOT. If I were you, I'd check the spreadsheet in the first post. Press CTRL + F and search "Braun."

You looking for a load of prospects, in which case look at the cubs or mariners. Or you looking for proven major league talent?

With the Mariners, I think you could get either Walker/Paxton, Zanino, and a few high to mid B's.

With the Cubs, Soler's in player, Jackson. Idk, you'd have to look because Im not too familiar with the Cubs system but I know they have a lot of prospects.

I think 2 high, high A's is appropriate along with another low A or high B and a mid to high B. In total 4 prospects.

Someone like the Rangers could use an arm like Hammel, so could the Mets or Cardinals.

You should also look at getting rid of Markakis and Chris Davis.
