2013 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Austin Jackson is in the final year of his contract and the tigers are in 4th place in their division. I'm targeting premium CFers in the final year of their contracts on teams with no chance of making the playoffs

Why lolno?

Why in holy hell would Detroit trade Austin Jackson? Why? Why would they trade a center fielder (!) who just put up a 135 wRC+ (!!), a .371 wOBA with no concerning peripherals (!!!), a fairly regular BABIP for a speedy line drive hitter (!!!!), coming off a 5.2 fWAR season (!!!!!) who's only 26 (!!!!!!!!!!!!)?

LOL but they could get Skaggs, Bradley and/or Eaton. Although, they don't need pitching...

Realism questions:

If both teams were out of it by the ASB break, would Pittsburgh trade Russell Martin, or would KC trade James Shields?

I see Martin being traded but I don't see Shields being traded the first year after Moore gave up quite a bit of talent for him.

45 games into my Diamondbacks franchise and I'm 3 games out of 1st place. I'm getting zero production out of my center fielders so far this season. I have Parra and Cody Ross splitting time in right with Kubel playing everyday in left. So far in center I've had Eaton (.193 1 hr), Campana (.201 0 hr, 2 sb), and A.J. Pollock (.150 0 hr, 0 rbi).

I'm looking for a premium centerfielder to be a main stay for years. I'm willing to trade Eaton and one of my top pitching prospects (Skaggs/Bradley). I would prefer a power bat over a speed bat. Any ideas?

If you insist on keeping Parra/Ross in right, then Ellsbury would be your best option.

Just a suggestion. Move Parra to CF and then look for a corner OF with pop. They're more common than CF power bats. Parra has good range and a good arm for CF

Most certainly not happening

Brewers don't have the pieces to get Stanton

I see 0 reason for them to do that.

I like that idea. Simple enough. Time to get Stanton!

Bradley + Skaggs + Delgado + Eaton + Gregorious

Easier said than done...

Yeah I was kidding. Ill look to acquire someone else. The asking price is too high for Stanton.

What about Mark Trumbo?

Re: 2013 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

What about Mark Trumbo?

He's kinda bad in LF but I like the train of thought. Don't like his bat either but I know others do.

[nowitsourtime]

Re: 2013 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

To add to Trumbo... Josh Willingham, Alfonso Soriano, Alex Rios, Ryan Ludwick

Edit: Corey Hart is also an option

Re: 2013 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

I'm the Brewers and I'm looking to deal Robinson Diaz. He's a low B (up from a high C) Catcher thats 29 and he's having a decent year in AAA. I'm not expecting to get much for him but who would be good suitor that need a starting (Rays) or backup catcher since he's basically worthless on my team.
