Martes and Paulino have both been bad in the bigs and likely lessened their value as well. I figure Archer is at least as valuable as Sale, who brought back Moncada in his trade. Bregman=Moncada in my eyes. Would including a pitching prospect (Honeywell) or maybe throwing in Adames make the deal more fair? If Bregman is completely out of the picture who's the best young MLB ready player Archer could fetch? Bellinger? Bogaerts/Benintendi? Swanson?

To answer the last question. Red Sox say no to both Bogaerts and Benintendi. Braves would never do Swanson. Maybe you could get Bellinger, but in real life I doubt they do it. Teams don't like trading young MLB assets they'd rather deal prospects that are less sure of a thing.

The Rays also would never add one of their best prospects to their best asset to help in a trade. That's robbing Peter to pay Paul

Thanks for all the help. I will go back and find it the mentioned trade.

Edit: I see it was posted in the next comment. Thanks again for the help.

Gotcha, thanks for all the help.

I'll just do Bellinger and try not to fret about the realism of it so much.

5 days before deadline, I made a deal with SD (31-75) to push for a playoffs spot.

How's the value ? (I'm now 2 days before, so I'd swing another deal with them to even it out if I offered something too light).

Braves

Yangervis Solarte (.247/5HRs/28 RBI's)
Carter Capps (0-3/2,54 ERA/1,28 WHIP)

Padres

SP Luiz Gohara (21 YO/B POT/63 OVR)
CF Dalton Pompey (25 YO/B POT/71 OVR)
C Justin O'Connor (26 YO/B POT/73 OVR)
RP Antonio Cisneros (21 YO/C POT/72 OVR)
RP Akeel Morris (25 YO/C POT/76 OVR)

Thanks!

Hey guys. I'm looking to get Jonathan Villar back to the Phillies. I'm in year 2018 of my franchise. Brewers have a glut of good middle infield prospects and have had Villar on the trade block all season (mid June now). He's having a fine year .265 BA, .358 OBA, 7HR, 13 SB. What will it take to pry him away? Brewers are in need of young, capable starters as their rotation is pretty sad and I could use a true shortstop (much like real life Crawford just won't start hitting) to slide Hernandez back to second. I have tons of pitching prospects: Sixto Sanchez, Goudy, Kilome, Mason (18y.o. A pot) and Groome picked up from the Red Sox in a trade. I also have young still unproven starters in Eflin, Thompson, Lively (all B pot) and Mengden that I picked up from A's in trade (also B pot.). I would also consider sending back Kingery who could play 2b or any outfield spots (B pot.)

Here is one trade I have considered:

Brewers get:

Goudy 20 yo B pot SP 70 OVR
Lively 26 yo B pot SP 76 OVR
Kingery 24 yo B pot 77 OVR

Phillies get:

Villar

Any of you guys have a take? I'm not having much luck finding a solid value for Villar. Thanks.

How did you get Groome out if curiosity and not sure you're giving up a good enough headliner for Villar

I'm at the trade deadline with the Marlins in my first season. I'd like to add some pitching help as I'm 7 games above .500 and 1.5 up on the mets for the division at the time.

I'm looking to add a decent lefty to the bullpen and if possible a solid starter.

I'm looking at Perkins from the Twins who are way out of contention. He is a free agent after the year and being 34 years old he seems like a solid rental. His stats are 1-2, 23 saves, 3.14 ERA, 1.05 WHIP. What would it take to get him?

I'm also mildly interested in Ervin Santana who is 7-6 with a 3.52 ERA, 1.20 WHIP. If he would cost me a lot then I'd probably pass at his age and salary, but if it wouldn't cost me too much to do a package I'd like to get both.

Thanks for any input.

Edit- I ended up trading Jose Urena and a C potential prospect SP for Perkins. Decided Not to pursue Santana

Yeah, I'm really not sure of what fair value is here. And unsure how the rest of baseball views the Phils current prospect crop.

I picked up Groome in a trade for Maikel Franco who, unlike the real Maikel Franco was hitting well. Boston came calling looking for a solid 3B for a playoff run and also needed pen help. I sent Franco and Neris to Boston for Devers and Groome (and ate Sandoval's contract). Had no intentions of moving Franco but after looking at the trade I thought it made tons of sense.
