Franchise Trade Talk

[TheNumber35]

Like the title says...post your trade thoughts and what trades you're thinking about making.


Personally, I'm looking to send off Rick Porcello. He has pitched like garbage all season long and I have other options that I can't justify using until he's out of town. But I don't know exactly what I should be trying to go get for him. Any realistic deals I could try to make?

Alright, so I've been browsing around and based on how Jhonny Peralta is playing for me this season...he could be on the block too. His bat has been sub-par and so has his defense. I'm looking for a speedy SS who can play some defense and I could get for a decent price. Anybody have any ideas for that?

For the record, Rick Porcello and Peralta are the two guys I'm really willing to part with (if that helps anyone draw up a deal)

I traded away a minor leaguer and scott rolen for Mark Reynolds and Ryan Ludwick and minor leaguer for Andruw Jones. I also traded a couple of prospects for Doug Fister.

Those are sweet trades for you...but they seem a little 1-sided

Fister is an amazing pick-up. Getting him for a couple prospects may have pryed him from Seattle because well...they aren't going anywhere and prospects are gonna help that team, but now that Detroit has him and he's under team control for awhile and for cheap not to mention he's pitching well..he'd be untouchable haha. Jones is doing work in my Chise, the Yanks have him hitting 6th and he's raking with a .300 average and 10 HR balls through 35 games.

Figured I would ask here but how do you resign your own players in franchise mode? Thanks

I'm not 100% sure about this, but I think you can't resign during the season. You've gotta wait til the resigning phase. Unless you go in and edit the player's contract under "Edit Player" but I'd tread carefully with that one if your trying to be realistic about it..

Okay thanks. I wasnt sure. Not editing contracts.
