MLB 14 The Show Official Trade Discussion Thread

[CubFan23]

Hopefully they improved on the trade AI in 15. At the all star break in my Cubs franchise, Yankees, tied for first, trade A Rod, who's hitting over .300 with 15 hrs to Detroit for a double A relief pitcher who is a High A.

Beginning of May in my Red Sox chise, and I'm looking to shore up left field. I was interested in Cleveland's Michael Brantley and was considering making the center piece A overall SP prospect anthony ranaudo (70 overall). Both players are performing as expected.

Would Cleveland be interested in moving him for the right prospects and what's a fair offer. I could add JBJ or another piece. I also like their center field spec Tyler Naquin (63 overall B pot with a great arm)

Ranaudo definitely isn't worthy of a headliner in a Brantley deal. He is a great player on a great contract. I don't think they would even consider it without Swihart, or Betts, but you might be able to come up with a package around Owens. Realism wise I don't think Cleveland would have any interest in trading Brantley, but there might be a fair deal there if you're willing to move your top young talent.

On a side note Ranaudo should be no where near an A potential. I'm not sure if you're changing potentials, but he probably shouldn't be over an 82 or so (and that's probably too high).

Ranaudo isn't a headliner...For Brantley you are looking at something like Owens, Cecchini, Barnes and another top prospect.

Thanks I appreciate the response. I'm using osfm v2.0 rosters, but will just undersell him when I do a trade.

Maybe I'll have to set my sights on a more attainable player...Alejandro de aza from the white sox?

Maybe I'll have to set my sights on a more attainable player...Alejandro de aza from the white sox? IRL he was traded for two specs (chalas and blackmar). I may offer some low end specs of similar quality.

You mean De Aza from the Orioles? Or are you using rosters from last year and playing on '14? De Aza is much more obtainable than Brantley. All the usual intra-division trade caveats and non-caveats apply.

Same guy but ya I'm using 2014 rosters. When I finish the season I will decide if I'm upgrading to 2015 the show.

I like the idea of picking him up in place of Gomes and maybe resigning him next year for cheap
