2016 Dynasty Baseball Trade Thread
- Thread starter Montana
- Start date
Agreed
Damn... There's been some huge blockbusters.
Great trade for Bull... And Montana Remains the favourite for the foreseeable while extending the longevity of his squad.
Love this deal.

We should just award Montana the next 10 titles and all start gearing up for 2025.
Well, his team definitely took a hit in the short term.

In depth, but he doesn't need a (soon-to-be) declining EE with Goldschmidt at first, and while he did lose the AL MVP, he replaced him with a guy on a direct flight to superstardom.
We'll find out soon if Manny's first 1100 AB's were who he is or if he was just warming up and took a big leap in 2015. He is only 23... so maybe he takes another step forward. Agree that his team took a short term step back, essentially JD + EE for Manny, but getting the best pitching prospect in the game + another very nice prospect helps. Plus, he just added Tanaka to his already absolutely insane rotation, so he'll probably be just fine.
Assuming Bull's a big Jays fan after his first two trades, haha
But seriously, mind blown. These trades...

Yep, he might be a 2.13 guy....or may regress slightly....or may still take a step forward, but in all likelihood he wont match/surpass Donaldson for a good 3-4 years, and likely never has a season like JD just had.
He also comes with some risk, given hes already had surgeries on both of his kness.
....ultimately tho im hoping for a 2.0-2.2 third baseman for the next 7-8 years, instead of the higher upside 2.2-2.5 JD is liable to have for the next 4-5 years
Yeah; I think people sleep on just how valuable a bat like EE is....having Goldschmidt is great, but with regard to losing EE, it means nothing because I had both in my lineup last year. It's not like PG is replacing him....it's just flat out lost point production from my lineup, that I now have to compensate for.
...and given how easily guys like Pujols, Bautista, Ortiz etc have continued to produce well into their mid-late thirty's; I think its a safe bet EE has quite a few years of elite production still in him.
If he's coming off a 2.2+ season 3 or 4 years from now, I won't be remotely surprised.
I'm happy to have added Tanaka, but since I dealt Shields it's a relative wash points wise. On the whole, I'm looking at a significant net loss of points, this offseason. While (hopefully) having fortified my future a bit.
I appreciate Axls optimism......but if this deal ends up costing me the title & ~$500....I won't care too much how young Machado is, haha.
End of the day; anyone who felt they had a shot at the podium this year, should be excited......because their chances to win it all, just got significantly better this year & next.....no one moreso than Bull.
