Re: 2013 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

I dont see your reason for doing this.... you are just wiping out your great farm system, I mean I know its Stanton and all but still...

I've never had that dominant power hitter in any MLB game I've ever played.. It would be nice to have that and see how I like it. So far he's already hit a homerun in his debut. I regret nothing

I got you, just it seems like every other trade involves him this week...

True, I guess I was just inspired by all these people asking for Stanton

We should just make a seperate spreadsheet of every single plausible Stanton trade

Re: 2013 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Im looking to change it up, Jays have become easy so I want a challenge where every position on the team is up for grabs coming into the season, so I will be making a nice few trades (pretending its offseason and im revamping). I need help here to chose a team with the most prospects that I can move for more major league ready prospects and build a very young team that has a lot of ??? so I can have some fun in the other direction that I have been playing (winning a lot, positions guaranteed).

Here are a list of teams I am choosing between:
- Twins, Cubs, Marlins, Mets, Pirates, Brewers, Padres

Here are the things I want to build around:
- Tavares AND Profar
- Billy Hamilton or Jackie Bradley
- Very young SP rotation, mix of young/old bullpen
- I want no stars so would be dealing them off for a bunch of youth

Which team has the best chance to get Tavares and Profar, along with 1 of either Hamilton and Bradley, and also has a chance to trade for or already has a very young SP core?
Also, after stating which team, explain to me how I can get these things. This should get some good convo going

You can start with the Marlins trade Stanton for Profar, Olt and company. Then flip Yelich and maybe Olt for Taveras. Then trade a couple of the other prospects you got in that deal... Buckel/etc. and Marisnick for Bradley or Hamilton. Then build your rotation around Fernandez, Nicolino, and Perez

Ya marlins may work for sure. What would be the complete Stanton deal ?

Profar,Olt, Perez, Buckel, Alfaro, Brinson

Re: 2013 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

What could I deal Nolasco for? Would want a couple prospects including SP either majors ready or ready next year.

Re: 2013 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

Is there any true logic in some of the random players the AI accepts in trades for certain teams? ie; I was messing around with some Col trades with me controlling Tigers. So I randomly put in Tuiasosopo and bam they want the deal. So curiousity got the best of me so I started plugging guys in and you wouldn't believe the guys they would give me straight up for him...with the exception of maybe 7-8 guys I could trade straight up for anyone I wanted. David Dahl for one who is an A prospect. What causes this? Position? I mean seriously Tuiasosopo!?!?!?

(But I stocked up on several players so I can go after Stanton.........ok not really but thought that may ruffle some feathers around here. )

Dudes, I'm really terrible at crafting realistic/fair trades and the like so I'm hoping you can help me out.

Starting a Cubs franchise with the OSFM rosters and I want to pry Giancarlo Stanton from the fish. However I don't want to part with much MLB talent off the bat if I can help it but I also don't want to completely screw them (they do a good enough job of that themselves already).

I'm figuring to give up my top few prospects and maybe one or two MLB outfielders since they'll obviously have a big hole there. I am also thinking of doing multiple transactions since three players would obviously not be nearly enough for a player like him.

Thoughts? Thanks gents.

Theoretically, what package would the Yanks have to give up to re-acquire Jesus Montero from the Mariners?

On this trade I'm not looking for realism (because Montero's most likely not going back) but fairness.

Calling them players is kinda too nice.

Profar,Olt, Perez, Buckel, Alfaro, Brinson

Buckel or Grimm or Ross.

Nothing much, really.

Starting a Cubs franchise with the OSFM rosters and I want to pry Giancarlo Stanton from the fish.

Baez + Soler + some kind of SP prospect + Sczur, I'd think.

[MrChainsaw]

Hmm, I'm not sure they would want both outfielders. They already have yelich and marisnick waiting in the wings, plus I would be giving them a MLB level right fielder to fill that gap right away, so that would make three outfielders going to miami in this deal.
