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

Last year I dumped Ottavino because he wears #0. Yeah, I could have just changed his number but the punishment should fit the crime. Pitchers should not wear zero, that's written in stone in my unwritten rules. This year I'm desperate (plus I'm only playing in the minors as Syracuse and Tidewater) so I will keep him but change his number to 55.

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
