Tony, if the game were to go off the rails a bit and offer you way more value in a trade than you thought was correct, would you accept?

No, I wouldn't. I shopped Jose Rondon around and got a crazy offer of a top closer for some reason and didn't accept the trade.

Getting back Aquino is pretty good. 
 

Where do you expect the 3 pitchers to start?

Gutierrez is going Bowie and the other two were sent to Norfolk. DeLeon is on the 40-man roster so he could be in the mix for a promotion in long relief.

I liked getting Aquino.  Well done.

There were a ton of offers for Sisco, but Aquino seemed to have the most upside. Once I realized I could get some of the C+ arms with some ability to stretch out by trading away Bleier and Lakins, both of who did not have very high stamina ratings.

OOTP has several settings for trade difficulty.  I think many/most players set it to "Hard" and "Favor Prospects".  Which means you're going to have to work at it to get anyone to even consider your 29-year-old regular second baseman for any kind of decent prospects.  And as a GM you will get multiple offers every week for what appear to be stupid trades, like a 33-year-old one-star outfielder and a Grade C- prospect, for your setup guy who has 11 K/9. (Say, 2016 Nolan Reimold and Mike Wright for Brad Brach).  To the point where I don't even open many trade offers, I just delete them.

But you can still get in situations where you get what you think is a really good deal.  In my mind I don't mind an occasional deal that looks like its in my favor after being presented with 100 that made no sense for me at all.

The trade offers on the fantasy leagues were too funny sometimes. Its like they are hoping you didnt read that Kershaw has bad elbow and its out for the season, not to mention, there is an injury icon next to his name. They are hoping you would just accept the offer. And dont depend on your co-manager to vote against bad trades, like Chris Davis of 2019 for Mookie Betts of 2019, that some clown got the guy to agree to.

Yep, I'm not sure if I have ever accepted a computer started trade unless I altered the deal significantly.

      How far do you go to try to save this?

      By Aristotelian · Posted

      OP is asking about next year as well as this one. I think the point is we can get a guy who will help us now and next year. We did expect to lose Bradish but not him and Means and Wells all at the same time. Right now we would be going into next year with Grayson as our only dependable guy. Won't be much margin for error without another Burnes type.

      Something to keep in mind in the offseason is that the starting pitcher FA market doesn’t look that great in terms of pitchers we would sign or even want to sign. On top of that, you have several guys who only become FA if they opt out and if they opt out, it’s likely because they didn’t have a great season. Combine that with the idea that our only 2 internal rotation candidates are Povich and McDermott, both of whom have exhibited a lot of issues with command and control and it certainly is a shaky long term outlook for the rotation. Position player wise, we will (in theory) lose Santander and McCann. Hays and Mullins are likely gone. Not going to have both Mateo and Urias but certainly could bring back one. As of now, OHearn definitely has his option picked up. If it were up to me, Mounty would be traded. 2 years left of control, likely to be coming off a very solid season and we have players behind him. He could help fetch us some pitching. My expectation is at least 2 of Mounty, OHearn and Santander will be back. How so many of these guys and our prospects end the year will determine how we attack the offseason. But for the deadline, I think obtaining a starter that can be here long term is something the team should look at.     You have several options in Miami and potentially a guy like Detmers.    A Detmers/Estevez package is something I would be looking into.  Same thing with Nardi and one of the Marlins starters, like a Braxton Garrett for example. For me, the key here is that you need to upgrade the pen. I think if you make the pen really good and you have Burnes and GRod, that may be enough.    In not trading our top 3 prospects. I think all play big roles in 2025, although Basallo may not play a role until the season is well underway, But I would trade Kjerstad and anyone else while hoping to keep certain guys although they wouldn’t be deal breakers.

      We’re tied with the Yankees in the Loss Column.

      And Fangraphs has the Yankees 68% to 31% to win the division.

      Would a package including Kjerstad and Norby (possibly Stowers too) be able to get us Sonny Gray and Helsley? STL has to at some point come to a conclusion that they don't have enough to legit compete for a World Series this year or the next few projectable years. This would give them an infusion of young talent and get Gray off of their books. That's 3 young controllable starting position players for their #1 and closer. I'm not sure what the value proposition is there. But this is the kind of trade that I would be looking to make and I think it helps both ball clubs.

      Pitching injuries are happening to a crazy degree all over the sport. We still have our #1 starter who is the best starter that we have had in decades and a very talented #2/3. All is not lost.

      There will be FAs (none admittedly as good as Burnes) that we can sign. We have a ridiculously low payroll and aren't paying anyone.  We are not going to maintain excellence long term by only using the draft and trades to meaningfully add talent. We are going to have to use the free agent market (wisely) too.
