Official MLB 20 the Show Trade Discussion Thread

[cubsgocontinental23]

Hey All,

i'm looking to make another trade in my 30 team control franchise. This time, the Cardinals are looking to acquire some bats at the deadline. They have been great pitching this season, but the bats haven't lit up yet. Here are their rankings as a team: BA (21st), OBP (23rd), SLG (22nd), HR (22nd). They need an infusion of talent into their team, however, their prospects aren't ready just yet. The main part of their team that is struggling is their OF.

I'm looking for them to acquire a package deal of two players who are performing very well this season.

Corey Dickerson (~23M, 2.4 WAR, .297/.334/.471, 14 HR, 4.7% BB, 21.6% K)
Jonathan Villar (~16M, 2.5 WAR, .259/.331/.509, 11 HR, 9.2% BB, 28.3% K)

Let me know what you think a type of deal this package could get back. At first thought, I had Gorman or Liberatore in mind, but I think that may be too much.

I went for Edwards A potential headliner , Peter Fairbanks B potential as CP and Brosseau B potential to be there 3B.

Then shipped Yandy Diaz who was batting 305 and B potential to the Braves for Braves number 23 prospect Justin Dean. Braves 3B were struggling and they have plenty speedy OF prospects.

Seems fine to me? Anyone feel I need to adjust?

Fairbanks and Brosseau are most definitely not enough. They are 25 and 26, just appearing in a small MLB stint last year. You're gonna have to redo your deal if you want it to be fair.

Ok fair enough. I thought Edwards was a pretty big headliner for someone who has never hit more than 20 big fly’s. But can add someone to the mix, maybe a SP in the B category?

Joe Ryan?

Thanks! Appreciate your help

Brian Anderson provides a whole lot of value with his defense. Thats why I gave the option of Brujan and lotto tickets since he is a superior prospect or Edwards and another legit prospect like Baz or Honeywell.

You get to choose one high end prospect or two real good ones.

One good prospect and some filler wasn't what we were thinking.

Thanks! Appreciate it. Not to disagree, but wouldn’t you say in the game Edwards was the better prospect? More premium position too?

That’s what I was going off... understood, maybe the CP isn’t a good enough lottery ticket however

In your game you may be right, I was basing off of the Fangraphs list that has Brujan as a 55fv but Edwards as a 50fv.

What do you guys mean when you say “lotto ticket” I’ve been trying to find where in the thread that is explained but must have missed it
