Yes, I have simmed several years forward from the standard game a few times in earlier patches and Flaherty always turned out to be very good. I hate to give him up but I think the Cardinals have to turn some of these prospects into a legitimate superstar player this offseason. Trout, Harper, Bryant, and Arrenado weren't available and Machado was.
I tried to come up with a trade that the AI would accept (hard difficulty, same result whether on neutral or favor prospects) AND that met my own sense of fairness. All that posted helped a lot, thank you.
For the record, Machado signed an extension with me for 8 years, $220 million. I don't know if that is realistic or not given the new TV deals but it made sense in the game relative to other star contracts. I would certainly prefer this contract to Stanton's!
