<![CDATA[trade logic is completely whack]]>so im playing a LF who currently is an ovr 76 and i asked for a trade from the cardinals and i got sent to the mariners and i just looked up the log and the mariners sent Julio Rodriguez to the cardinals for me and it makes absolutely no sense. Trading the best OF you have on your team for arguably a unproven rookie seems like a great way to screw your team over.

Both of us have A potential

Yeah, but are you a 'prospect' with A potential or do you have several years of service?

That is another thing that also affects trade value: years of control. If you're still a rookie, that makes you more valuable. If he's almost a free agent, that makes him less valuable. 🤷

EDIT: Oh, wait. Doesn't Rodriguez have a long-term semi-cheap deal? Hmm that doesn't track at all. Seattle doing a roster dump? I'm out of ideas on this one. Sounds like it was just a broken trade.

my point exactly he is the only trade they made so far this season and from a franchise pov trading for a rookie who does not have the range and fielding ability he has nor the hitting ability he has makes 0 sense

That is far more important than your ovr. And, yes, trade logic is out of whack.
