Settings for trades:almost never, Ratings 40%, Current Year 30%, Previous Year 25%, 2 years ago 5%, max hard max favor prospects:
May: Cubs get Finnegan and Brandon House for McKinstry. Terrible trade for Nats.
Rangers trade Leody Tavares to Cubs for Ian Happ. Rangers currently lead AL West, probably not terrible, outside of all of the Cubs prospect depth is in the OF. Cubs are 10 games under .500 end of May.
June: Nothing really notable, a few contenders acquiring relievers from non contenders, no big prospects or stars moved.
July: Royals get Orioles to take Arnoldis Chapman by sending a better prospect for a worse prospect while both teams are in last. Interesting.
Padres got Nola from the Phillies for 2 mid level prospects. Phillies are 5 games under .500, Padres are in WC chase. Nola last year of deal but I'd think Phillies could do better than this.
Cubs trade Julian Merriweather and Jonathan Estrada to the Cards for a low level prospect. This wouldn't happen, Estrada is better than what they are getting back, but again, not earth shattering.
A's trade Seth Brown and low level spect to Braves for Orlando Arcia.
All in all not terrible. One really bad prospect trade, although AI only has House as a 3 star prospect, still made zero sense. Nola trade could have been better.
AI probably still valuing prospects a smidge too high, might need to move that down a notch and ratings down just a bit and statistics up just a bit.
Thoughts?
