I really think this is the art of this years MTO. I did Arizona a little while back and was able to trade for Joe Adell from the Angels for 3 insignificant players. Adell was put straight to the minors. I tried several ways to get him called up or fast tracked and nothing worked. Putting RFs on the block, saying I needed RFs and LFs. (Had Jasson Dominguez in CF.) Nothing worked until I took RFs off the needed positions. Next time up, Adell was there for fast track. It's all a [censored] shoot. I think the worst thing to do is nothing. MTO and RTTS is still more fun than DD this year.
That is not a [censored] shoot, bro. You had RF as a position of need on your TRADE BLOCK. SO if you are looking to trade for a RF, they are going to look for trades for that position, not call ups. As the previous bro posted, you have to make an available roster spot for that guy, and have no roadblocks to him.
Although I disagree, you make some good points. I didn't want to write a 3 page essay. I didn't have a single RF on my active team. Trades only proposed CF/RF or 35 year olds in the last year of their contracts for 3 decent prospects. I wanted Joe Adell for my RF. "A" potential and 6 years of playing time. In the 6th year he would be a high 80s low 90s that I could trade for another "A" prospect.
MTO and RTTS are my favorite parts of this game. Call ups and Fast tracks seem to be heavily influenced by your trade management input. You can get through an entire season in one day if that's all you do all day. I've had a lot of off time and played mostly MTO from Jan, when MLBTS21 stopped adding content, up to today. Patterns come up and are easy to discern after a while. 22 is very different in some respects from 21, but that pattern hasn't changed.
It is very much like rolling the dice. All you can try to do is try to lessen the number of sides. If you ask for a CF on trade management, you will often get RF/LF offered to you as a Trade, Call up, or Fast track. That's because they are more likely to have CF as their secondary position. For short term, that's fine. That was great for last year. I want to play MTO through several seasons, so I look at who will be at what position next year or the year after and so on. I want a RF at RF, just like I don't want a catcher at 1st, even though it offers a good catcher that can play 1st. I'd prefer to play with monopoly dice instead of Dungeons and Dragons.
