2020 SCMLB Trade Thread

[Lanteri]

Starting one. Didn't see one already.

Texas Trades:

DH - Jose Reyes (AAA)
1B - Alex Gordon
3B - Lonnie Chisenhall
2B - Francisco Miranda
SP - Archie Bradley
LF - Antonio Nunez
2020 2nd Round Pick
2020 3rd Round Pick

New York (A) Trades:

Nothing.

Massive salary dump on my part. I have to free up $$$ to get Daigneault signed. Reyes and Gordon were pretty awful desperation big contract signings by me, and now I'm paying the price by giving up a handful of prospects just to get rid of the salary.

[Spindelphia]

I figure Chissie can still start and Gordon might maybe make a bench bat. Reyes just sucks now. MERRY CHRISTMAS from The Yankees!

Dodgers send:

1st round draft pick in 2021
Conditional pick for 2021 or 2022. If the Dodgers finish in the bottom 15 in standings the Marlins receive a 2nd round pick in 2021, if we finish in the top 15 in standings the Marlins receive a 1st round pick in 2022

Marlins send:

SP Tanaka


Requesting the commish to insert Tanaka into #1 spot in my rotation. I have put Kershaw on the DL to open up the #1 spot.

SP Tanaka

Marlins accept. Tanaka was taking a lot of salary and honestly, i'd rather throw a young kid in the mix. Especially since i'm 6 games under .500. I'm not sure what to do with this team... I thought last year was the year to make a run... and then this year... If things keep going like this, Tsugahara Koga and Jose Gonzalez may hit the block.

Tanaka will be DFA'd in my latest export.

[rujasu]

I have Tanaka for the first rounder entered into the game, and Tanaka as the #1 starter (due to start the first game of the sim, followed by Underwood). I'll allow the conditional pick, but I'd like clarification on the language. Top 15 in standings? Meaning one of the top 15 records in the majors? What happens if the Dodgers are, say, tied for 15th?

[conman]

Yes, top 15 in the majors. If there is a tie for 15th, wouldn't that still be considered top 15?

[rujasu]

It's your deal; that's why I'm asking. If you and Anthony are agreeing to "the Dodgers must have one of the top 15 records in the majors, or be tied for 15th" then that's cool with me. Just want to make sure this is all hammered out ahead of time, as we've never done a deal with conditional picks before in this league. I don't want it to be something we're all arguing over at the beginning of next season, that's all.

[tadashi]

That sucks. I would have offered more for Tanaka but I am waiting to see how the next month or two pan out.

Also, that's not a very good return for Tanaka, imho. Even with the salary cleared. It's not as bad as my Brian Matusz trade. I'm happy to see the SCMLB trade market moving some, though.

Also, it looks like Tanaka's contract has somehow reverted to a minor league deal in the newest file?

[Harlock]

OAK trades:

SP Michael Ynoa
3rd round pick

CHW trades:

AA SP Maurice Wilson

[Tavarin]

OAK trades:

SP Michael Ynoa
3rd round pick

CHW trades:

AA SP Maurice Wilson

Confirmed.

We're taking a little bit of a gamble on Ynoa based on his declining ratings and awful stuff, especially giving up Wilson, but I think Gilbert Thomas needs a little more time in AAA, and hopefully our defense can help Ynoa rebound.

Good working with you Harlock!

[Harlock]

Can we get a file showing the trade before next sim, pretty please

Yeah I understand. I am more than willing to lean on the side of giving the 1st round pick to Miami in the case of a rare situation to avoid any drama. If anything happens where there is a crazy finish and it is an issue I am sure we can work something out. The deal was easy enough for us to agree to and I don't see it being a problem.

1-15 ... 16-30 is the way i looked at it ... Takana looks like he was released by the Dodgers by mistake. He's gonna have to be put back on the team (and possibly his contract edited, along with potentially the finances if the dodgers got charged for the rest of his contract)

[rujasu]

Yeah, the game screwed up the whole Takana situation, even after I put him on the right team and everything. I think I know what happened, though. I'll have it fixed for the next sim, sorry about that.

[rujasu]

New file is up, including the most recent trade, and hopefully straightening out Tanaka. I don't think I have the contract/financials exactly right for Tanaka, it's just an estimate, so if anyone can give me info on what the contract should be, let me know and I'll adjust.

Also, please update your file before exporting!

[Spindelphia]

TB receives:

NYY 2021 3rd Round Pick

NYY receives

SP Tommy Hanson

[tadashi]

I said it before, but it's nice to see the trade market light up again in SCMLB. Looking forward to some big deadline deals.

[Becks6]

TB receives:

NYY 2021 3rd Round Pick

NYY receives

SP Tommy Hanson

Done. We've got starting pitching prospects coming out of our ears...let's hope a handful of them get to their potential sooner rather than later.

[Spindelphia]

Jake let me know when you put up a trade file, I'll export.

[rujasu]

I did this trade before the sim, with Hanson going in as NY's #1 per Rich's request. Also, I confirmed why the issue with Tanaka getting released, so that shouldn't happen again in the future.

[Anthony_Marlins]

Hanson only went for a 3rd rounder???

[Spindelphia]

He was being pissy with poor Becks and threatening to retire. He tries that shit with me, and I'll hand in his papers myself.

[IcePhoenix]

I'm just sad that he never gave me the chance to negotiate despite asking about him like four sims ago

[Becks6]

My bad. I probably should become familiar with all of the owners, but steady trade talk/negotiations hasn't exactly been a characteristic of this league, from my point of view. Am I the only one who thinks Hanson has become incredibly overpaid?

[Tavarin]

Given that fact that his ratings went up between 2019 and 2020, he was more overpaid when you signed him in the first place.
