Re: 2013 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Alright, say we take Lindor out of the equation then. Do you see anything the A's would be interested in for Cespedes, Anderson and Cook, or is that package way too valuable for them to trade ?

Or maybe I should go the other way, and find a team for Lindor that has good MLB bats available...any idea ?

Are you wanting a realistic deal?

Well, I'd say at least realistic in terms of value and position of needs...

That package is too valuable for them to trade just like you said. Cook is a solid and cheap SU for them with the potential to close if Balfour departs through free agency (he has an option for '14). Cespedes was recently signed and is the face of the franchise. I could see Anderson go though so what about A-Cab for him and Scott Sizemore? A-Cab becomes the new SS and Lowrie slides over to 2B. You get a solid lefty for the top of your rotation and a new injury plagued player named Sizemore

If you wanna keep A-Cab, try something like Danny Salazar and Cody Allen for Anderson

I'm thinking maybe the Cardinals might be a good fit. You could send Lindor to STL and get Carlos Beltran and maybe Jaime Garcia and Edward Mujica? Not really sure what you are looking for.

If you trade for Beltran that opens up a spot for Oscar Taveras and Lindor fills a hole at SS that they have had for years.

Just started a franchise with STL. It's Spring Training and I want to move Matt Holliday as I personally don't like the guy at all. Just don't want him to be part of my team. I realize in real life the Cards will probably not trade him. BUT I want to move him. What are some possible destinations that I could move him to? Also not sure exactly what I wanna get for him. I'm open to all suggestions. Just want Holliday gone.

Boston, Seattle, KC, NYM

Boston, Seattle, KC, NYM

For Barnes + Swihart, Hultzen + Romero, don't like KC as a landing spot, and for Tapia + Montero + Flores

Anderson would be a nice pickup I think...my best LHP right now is Kazmir. I'd be willing to go through with Salazar and Allen.

Beltran is a lot older than what I was looking for though. Plus, if I make that deal with Oakland, I might be more open to trade one of my starters than acquiring another one (though Garcia would add another lefty to my rotation, which wouldn't be bad...).

Re: 2013 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

You could maybe look at Matt Holliday instead? Or we could get really wild and try to put together a Stanton trade. You're going to have to give up more than Lindor though.

Hehehehe...I've had my Stanton-fun. But out of curiosity, since you seem to be a Rockies fan, Gonzalez to the Indians, possible ?

It's not realistic at all and obviously the Rox are set at SS too so I don't know if you'd have what it takes.

Yeah, thought so...

If you aren't going for realism it could be done.. It would probably involve Trevor Bauer though.

How about Dominic Brown? I'm not really sure what the Phillies need position wise.. they have Quinn as a pretty good SS prospect but I don't think that would make them turn down Lindor.

Pittsburgh could really use a SS. You might be able to package a deal for Pedro Alvarez?

David Wright?

Pedro Alvarez isn't even remotely worth Francisco Lindor

Agreed, but that's not what I meant by packaging a deal.
