Franchise Players, What’s the Silliest Reason You’ve Traded a Player?

[Kotter]

2-3 years ago I traded Ian Happ simply because I got tired of the commentary saying “Pittsburgh area native Ian Happ” every. damn. game.

Also way back in the day I traded Ted Lilly simply because his windup was too long and it messed up my timing when I used to use meter pitching.

Nothing will beat why the Cubs traded Rafael Palmeiro and Dave Martinez in ‘88-‘89

Every year i trade any of my top prospects without facescans for top prospects with scans lol

I nearly released Harrison Bader because the game gave him the incorrect #, 4 instead of 44 and I already have a 4 on the roster so he was wearing David Wright's #5. I came to my senses and just benched him for the rest of the game and changed his number

I have definitely traded a pitcher because of their extremely slow windup more than once.

I almost always check out a player's batting stance/pitching windup in the player editor before trading for them. But there have been many times where when I actually use them in-game I don't like it, so I flip them for someone else.

And I've dealt players who started out with me because I don't like their stance/windup.

For players with portraits on their card, I've traded away players who are shown with a team other than the Braves for a player who is shown with the Braves.

I've done the trade away someone without a face scan for someone with a face scan.

I traded Drew Smyly in MLB 21 because I didn't like the RL Braves signing him in the first place.

I used to trade Eric Sosgard every time he was on a team I would use because I thought he looked like too much of a nerd lol. In fact I always trade players with Rec-specs in 2k because I don’t like the way it looks.

The weird thing is I don’t have a thing against people who wear glasses. My wife and several family members do. I guess I just subconsciously dont find them tough enough or something? Lol

Like geeze, you couldn’t find a good pair of contact lenses or something

As an Indians fan I just didn't like Jason Kipnis, even in his prime so I would trade him for peanuts just to get rid of him.
