No, just...just no.

If you know that's it's lopsided, why are you even asking us?

That's what I thought, what can I add to make it fair?

If they accept it, it's fair game.

No, not Scooter! D:

Nothing, Bryce Harper is untouchable.

Nothing. As so long as Harper and/or Gio is in the trade, it's going to be unrealistic, and probably unbalanced.

What if I take out Harper, and add Paterson Segura/Lucas Giolito?

Atlanta Braves (38-45) @ Philadelphia Phillies (43-41)

Philadelphia victorious over NL East foe Atlanta. The Phillies beat the Braves last night, pushing across enough runs to win a 4-1 decision in front of 43,647 fans. Carlos Ruiz went 2-4, belted a home run, and drove in 3 runs to pace the offense. With some help from bullpen, Carlos Zambrano earned victory number 3 of the season, as he allowed 1 run and 4 hits over 6 & 2/3 innings.

The series continues tonight with Cliff Lee (10-3 3.23) going for the Phillies, and Brandon Beachy (1-0 3.14) slated to work for the Braves.

W: Carlos Zambrano 3-2
L: Mike Minor 9-8
S: Jonathan Papelbon (24)
HR: B.J. Upton (10), Carlos Ruiz (12), Ryan Howard (19)

Nationals trade prospects to ChiSox in exchange for veterans

It wasn't just Lance that was interested in Paterson Segura and Lucas Giolito as we see now, as the Nationals dealt both prospect starting pitchers to the Chicago Whitesox for starter Gavin Floyd and reliever Ramon Troncoso.

Lance Sharp is reportedly very pissed off at the Nationals for dealing the two prospects away before he could negotiate a deal for them.

Lol, Whitesox, way to steal my deal.

Phillies make move for prospect, acquire prospect 2B

July 8th, 2013, it has been announced that the Phillies have acquired 2B Christian Colon from the Royals for veteran star reliever, Mike Adams. Mike Adams will be a huge part of the bullpen for the Royals now, and Christian Colon will be a big part of the lineup for the Phillies.

This deal was also a huge salary dump on the Phillies part shedding over $20 mil.

Well done, continuing to stack that minor league system. How was Adams doing?

I don't really understand the Nats giving up on Giolito already unless Floyd's doing really well. Troncoso's a scrub reliever that prob doesn't do much for them.

Makes me wonder if the trade logic is flawed in the Show like it is sometimes in MLBPP/MLB2K.

It's much better in '13 than in previous years, but you'll still come across your various blemishes (I was able to nab Giancarlo Stanton straight up for Justin Morneau, for example).

I simmed a season and Morneau hit in the .370s with 24 HRs at the All-Star break...

I don't like your strategy. I never trade for "prospects" only young, established talent (because veterans will start declining rapidly). Also, you have like 5 minor-league 2nd basemen but none that are good enough to be in the MLB.
