2013 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

I started, but the same thing happened. I haven't done anything other than try to make that trade, but nobody can take on his 3.7M. I don't understand this, I give up. I might try a new team later, but I don't know...

Can't really put the finger on why you're experiencing issues with force trades on. Did you try playing with both force trades on and budgets off just to see if it works?

(There are certainly more if you were to search google, I just remember reading this on FG)

As for CarGo, there is definitely a small sample size for his splits this year. There is not an anti-Rockies bias in here (hell, I was estatic to finally see Tulo play in person last weekend) but one month does not trump a trend seen over multiple years.

No, but wouldn't that allow a team such as the Astros to off a player a Yankee-sized contract? It seems as though that would cause somewhat of a lack of realism in the franchise. I'll give it a try, though.

Now, when people have examined lineup protection in the past, to my knowledge they haven’t uncovered an effect.

Figured as much.

That's true. I was just thinking in terms of troubleshooting if you were to contact SCEA on the subject

Re: 2013 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Brewers get: Carlos Gonzalez, Edgmer Escalona

Rockies get: Ariel Pena, Johnny Hellweg, Hunter Morris (thinking about adding 1 more prospect)

Realistic?

Re: 2013 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Fair, maybe, realistic, probably not.

Sano unlikely to be dealt IRL but if you're gonna try and pry him away...Biddle, Asche and Ruf. Maybe add Roman Quinn as well to get another low tier prospect/major leaguer back along with Sano

That's nowhere near enough

Phillies really don't have enough for Sano unless they traded Lee for young players then flipped them for Sano

Re: 2013 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Sano is tearing apart high A right now also. The Twins have themselves a glimmer of hope on the horizon with Sano and Buxton, who is lethal in low-A ball.

Neither of those guys would be traded for any reason if you care even one speck about realism. Even fairness is problematic here. There is no motivation to deal them at all, and there are no position player prospects equivalent to them in the minor leagues. BOTH are already top-50 guys, and BOTH will probably be top-5 prospects in all of baseball heading into 2014.

Using the osfm 1.3 hybrid in my mets franchise is it worth it to trade wheeler, Harvey, and Hanley Ramirez for Stanton, Jose Fernandez, and Nathan eocaldi

Not really close, actually. Hanley Ramirez is on the Mets?

The Marlins wouldn't take Hanley back, lol.

Stanton alone, without even accounting for the fact that Fernandez is the best pitching prospect in baseball and Miami won't trade him, would cost you Harvey + Wheeler + another solid prospect.

I ended up getting Hanley from a trade and also in this roster Harvey and wheeler are much better than Fernandez and only 2 or 3 years older but I do understand ur point about Giancarlo

Underpaying... By a lot. The Twins think very highly of Sano and are not looking to win now so Sano would only be traded for a prospect they really REALLY like. The Phillies don't have pieces to get him

Nope, take out Fernandez, Eovaldi and Ramirez and add more pieces with Harvey and Wheeler to fairly get Stanton
