Which players have you traded for?
-
So far on my MTOs that I can pull off my head (All played on All-Star difficulty)
Padres - Josh bell , George springer, Trevor Rosenthal( this lineup plays better than it looks but those two added what I needed and a nice bullpen arm)
Angels- Realmuto, Jorge Soler, Matt Barnes ( needed a catcher and that bullpen is atrocious so Barnes was solid . Also Soler just added bonus pop as my quest for lefty power failed)
Dodgers - Franmil Reyes , Keone Kela (offense obviously doesn’t need much but some righty power was nice , and Kela added to an already stacked bullpen )
Red Sox - Trevor story ( as a Sox fan I wanted to play this as authentic as possible , but couldn’t pass on Story to help on the middle infield , this lineup also hits better than it appears)
Yankees- Kris Bryant( I mean this lineup is already stacked but Bryant was a monster for me in the playoff run 6 straight games with a bomb , but all in all this lineup RAKES without him)
Orioles - Jose Altuve , Freddie Freeman, Ken Giles ( SOLD THE FARM but needed it in the lineup and the bullpen , but won a 115 with the Os so I’d say worth it ) this may have been my favorite one so far as they were long shots and I’m sending walk off bombs in the ALCS it’s ELECTRIC
Hopefully this gave you a little feedback from the ones I can remember , MTO is as fun as you make it , i always shoot big on trades because it can’t hurt and they’ll send you offers they think you need as well.
I think my next one might be the As

Most frequent players I have seen to come up for trade have been Jonathan Villar, Corey Dickerson, Freddie Freeman, Teoscar Hernandez, Schoop, Franmil Reyes, Kyle Seager. All rake in MTO. Pitchers have been really random though.
-
Realmuto and Gallo are almost always available. Yelich is a good guy to aim for, because he’s on a one year deal in MTO. I thought that contracts were more relevant until this Dodgers one I started recently where I was able to trade for Gerrit Cole. ️
-
I'm in a White Sox MTO. I traded for Verlander and Soler. Somehow, I'm down 2-0 in the ALCS to Houston even after I acquired their ace.
-
I have done the Yankees of three different difficulties for the team affinity. I've been offered Trout, Arenado, Lindor, Yeli, and Corey Kluber

Just made it past the Trade Deadline in my Kansas City Royals M2O and we (frustratingly) were able to acquire only a few players:
-
Eric Thames, 1B/OF (WSH) - The thinking was he would be able to take over at 1B with the O'Hearn/McBroom platoon not cutting it. Thames has performed adequately but he's more so settled in at left field rather than first base where we envisioned him, but the next trade we made played a big part in that...
-
Josh Bell, 1B (PIT) - This was the blockbuster move that we needed to put us over the top. Bell has been incredible and is currently in the race to become AL batting champion. This was a no brainer and he has fit in seamlessly for us.
-
Eduardo Escobar, 3B/UTL (ARZ) - We needed a guy like this so badly. Not only can he play a strong third base but we can move him anywhere except behind the plate. His ability as a switch-hitter has also been a breath of fresh air on a team full of a lot of right-handed hitters.
-
Dellin Betances, RP (NYM) - I had been wanting to acquire a solid reliever the whole entire season and while I would've liked to add another arm and a starter, this was the only move that came up that made sense for us. All we had to give up was Ryan McBroom and C-grade pitcher. He will be installed as the closer to begin his Royals career.

I see no point in choosing a player to target.
I keep trying to get Tanner Scott.....Tanner..friggin Scott....cause he has gassss,I can dot him up. Instead I get offered some lame who can barely throw the ball to the plate.
Just finished a run with the Angel tho...got offered Bryce on the first go round....holy smokes was that fun -
-
Trevor Story seems pretty easy to trade for.
-
With the White Sox I ended up getting Flaherty, Villar, Pham, and Trout. I gave up a lot to get these 4 including Robert, Kopech, Madrigal, Grandal, Jimenez, Grandal , and a couple other prospects. But I think the team is better for that 1 year
-
Holy cow. Doing a Dodgers' MTO for the second time and I tried the "don't list anyone in the targeting trade" method. I had the woooorst offers this go than any of the other six I have done. I had my positional needs as CF, 1B or SS. Said I wanted right-handed bat and power. The first trade opportunity best player was Myles Straw for some scrubs so I took it to get the speed. Then not another opportunity until 7/28 and the best option was Corey Dickerson so I declined. The next opportunity on 7/30 had Nick Ahmed as the best player so I declined that as well. I don't know if I'll be doing the target no one strategy again to try and get a great trade offer.
-
As the Red Sox, I got Yelich and Realmuto in separate trades that included Chavis, Verdugo, and prospects.

It finally happened
Was a lot to give up but how could I not? Lol
Nice!

That’s awesome. I haven’t seen him in one of my offers yet and I’ve played through 25 or so now.

I’m playing the Rangers now too, currently in the postseason. I also asked for Yelich and Arenado (and didn’t get them) but first and foremost wanted relievers. That bullpen is rough, and their only dependable reliever (LeClerc) has trouble hitting spots, so I managed to get Tommy Kahnle and an 80-rated reliever with good control, which both helped a lot. You’re often in key positions where you need to come from behind over 3 innings or break a tie, so keeping the CPU from scoring was vital to me. Eventually I also picked up a couple outfielders to shore up things, as Danny Santana and his 47 fielding wasn’t getting it done in CF. I didn’t get many ideal trade choices, but it worked.
I’m doing the Rangers as well and targeted relievers too. I was offered Britton for just about nothing. Needed a quality lefty.

Playing a Cincinnati Reds one and so far there hasn't been a ton of action on the trade front as of July 5th.
We've managed to swing deals for Jake Diekman to get another decent lefty out of the pen so Amir Garrett's arm doesn't fall off, and somewhat randomly acquired Adam Eaton since the game refuses to call up Aristides Aquino. The Eaton trade was a no-brainer considering all I had to give up was Kyle Farmer.
I was offered Corey Kluber for an A prospect (Jameson Hannah) and some spare parts, Trevor Rosenthal for a nobody C grade minor league guy, and Eduardo Rodriguez for Nick Senzel and Jake Diekman. I would've done the Rodriguez deal if it didn't include two players I consider so important to this team and in hindsight, I should've just taken the Kluber deal but I dashboarded to try and see if I could get some more appealing offers and sure enough, I had to play a game before the trades came up this time which means I wasn't going to get a prompt in the same spot again. Heh...
I am now targeting Nick Anderson (Rays) to solidify my bullpen as the defined closer, Francisco Lindor (Indians) because the Reds it's a realistic move that makes sense and it would be awesome to get him in the game, too; and then I've got Mitch Garver (Twins) to give me an offensive threat at catcher and Trevor Story (Rockies) in case the Lindor deal doesn't happen.
I've put Josh VanMeter, Hunter Greene, Jameson Hannah (A prospect), and Phillip Ervin on the trade lock. Since I have no plans to turn this into a Franchise at the end of the playoffs, I figure I'll put my best prospects like Hunter Greene on there.

Brad HandLove the moves you've made. Very realistic for the most part, too.
I am so jealous that you were able to get Aroldis Chapman. I was beginning to think that it was just impossible to get him because I've tried on so many teams for so long, and I even try dashboarding to get a new set of trades when I don't like what I'm offered.

Yah i've tried to get him a few times and this time it worked out. Team went on a run after getting him too. I was chasing/ tied with Minnesota at the time (trade deadline) and ended up 15 games up on then for the division.
The one that caught me off guard was Kieboom for next to nothing. Nice having a great prospect.
