Curious what you all would trade for my CFer. I'm disagreeing with the AI.
So Nate Scott. First round pick of mine in 2024. Shoots through the system and produces 3.0 WAR in 512 PA's in his first year. Unfortunately, I have a complete logjam in the OF with Juan Soto, Mike Trout, and another rookie who I think profiles better than Trout and Scott in CF.
Anyways, I've been dangling Nate Scott. Usually I'm able to get that 75-80 POT centerpiece I'm seeking, but the AI freaks out when I ask for another 65-75 POT. I think that an MLB team would absolutely pay out the ass for a 23 year old CFer who rakes and has six years left. ****, look at what the Indians and Cubs are asking for Lindor and Bryant. I think one 75-80 POT, one 65-75 POT, and two 50-65 POT is an absolutely fair trade. AI does not. I'm aware the best answer to this is play how you want, but I'd like to keep it realistic. Would it be cheesing to force trade the value I think Nate Scott is worth? I think the AI has this wrong, but I could also see an MLB team not wanting to destroy their farm system for one guy. Thoughts? Also, if anyone is curious here is Soto/Trout/CF Prospect I like more. Plus, a Marlins dynasty. Sims starting with fantasy drafts are a fun time. https://imgur.com/gallery/BdXHgrn |

So you're asking for one player better than your player, another player similar to your player, and two players slightly below but still projected to be big league regulars? Yeah, that seems like a lot for a player with 500 career plate appearances.
Remember, Lindor and Bryant are established stars while your player is not. Also remember, the Indians and Cubs have yet to get what they're asking for in trades for those guys. So perhaps your demands match the demands of the Indians and Cubs, but demands don't always match returns in the end. Also, a lot depends on what your AI evaluation settings are at. If you have it set to favor or highly favor prospects, you're never going to get the AI to trade four future big leaguers, two who are projected to be all-stars. |

Yeah, I'd totally sell the farm for a potential 200-K player that put up good, but not outlandish numbers at Zero Gravity Field...

Not enough career ABs and too many Ks upfront for me to make that deal. I don’t think the AI is unreasonable in this scenario
Also keep in mind, the AI will vary from team to team depending on scouting/needs of that team. Have you looked to all the other teams? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

A good, solid player but hardly a superstar. If you don't need him in your outfield, grab the 75-80 POT offer.

If I were asking for MLB ready talent then yeah asking for a 75 POT and 65 POT x2 is absurd. But when you factor in the they’re young and raw component I’m not sure if it’s that crazy of a demand Last edited by SkoCubs; 01-27-2020 at 12:59 PM. |

Didn't mention it in my original post so that's definitely my bad, but if I'm looking for younger prospects I definitely think you should be compensated a bit for the bust factor. Yeah I'd definitely be crazy to ask for MLB ready or almost MLB ready 80 POT guys for this dude

I like the guy a lot and agree he's proven himself to have a solid floor and unclear ceiling. Still, if I were to trade a potential centerpiece for him I'd either do an even trade (if Nate was a particularly good fit and the potential centerpiece wasn't) or I'd be the one asking for more.
There are so many reasons why you might not be getting what you're looking for. Scouting, league depth in OF, needs of other teams, skepticism about a couple of his tools, etc. Overall, I think you'll have more fun playing out the game without forcing the AI to behave the way you think it should and instead appreciate that a good sim is going leave you guessing sometimes - just like real life baseball. |

The other GMs don't want to pay your asking price. Even if it is completely fair and warranted. Accept that now may not be the best time to dangle your prospect if you want that return, try again later or make other plans and show them the folly of their ways. Also, keep in mind that if you have scouting on, they may not see your kid as you do, assuming your scout sees him correctly-ish. So while they might see him worth parting with a top prospect that needs years to make it for your player that's viewed as an instant everyday talent, they might not see him as a potential stud. To be fair, I doubt I'd trade four 60+ POT talents for one CF. I'd likely trade two for one that's a notch or so lower than yours and keep the other two kids, especially that 80 POT one. Otherwise, if I'm trading an 80 POT prospect, I'm not adding anything else either. I agree with the AI on that. |

Looks more like a corner of platoon bat than a starting calibre CF. Which is useful, but I wouldn't necessarily pay as much as you're asking for.
I don't love his defence in CF. Probably would play him in LF. |
