MLB 16 Trade Discussion Thread

I'm thinking about starting an Angels rebuild to play through the winter and maybe transfer over. What realistically do you see as the trade value of Simmons and Calhoun? (great name for a buddy cop show btw)

Both look to be my most valuable, expendable assets who could net me some much needed position player prospects. How much do you think each are worth? I know Simmons was traded last year by the Braves, but was what they got about his value? As I struggle to trust the Braves front office's ability to get fair value in a trade tbh

I know I'm a bit biased by being a Braves fan but is this real? The only bad trade they've made recently was the Olivera deal.

Just a lot of deals that don't make a whole lot of sense to me lately, particularly with veterans, but I am a Mets fan though so I may be being slightly bias. (only time will tell I suppose with a rebuilding project) To me at least, it looked like you got pretty short changed in the Simmons deal

EDIT: forgot about the Shelby Miller trade, that was undeniably a blinder

Yeah, after I saw a deal was imminent I figured I would wait to see what the deal is going to be.

What should Ruiz be rated? Low B-potential because of his contact numbers?

I know we're all waiting for the actual McCutchen trade to find out the real value, but I have both Reynaldo Lopez and Luke Weaver in my system, am I in the ballpark if I propose a trade of Lopez + Weaver for McCutchen?

I think both Weaver and Lopez are good enough to be the second piece. Someone with higher upside. Mateo or Torres would need to be the headliner.

I think Frazier is safe since he is redundant with Meadows.

Yeah somewhere in the B to low B range. He hasn't been close to an A potential guy so far in his pro career
