The ai is decent at not trading unreasonably, with that being said, they love prospects, and (in my opinion) there are not enough teams with the "win now" mindset. Also the ai does not have an untouchable list. Given enough value, you can get anyone. There are also a few teams with negative budgets (by a longshot) like the Dodgers and Mets. I will say that I always play with ignore budgets on blc in previous years it made trading past the first year hard. Though that setting, to my knowledge, does not effect the trade logic in terms of value, only allows for over budget teams to gain more payroll in trades. The ai also starts to devalue ppl over around 31. To the point where at 40 they are nearly worthless in trades. Though this may have been reworked this year with the trade update. In game play (season stats) are very highly valued. You could trade a 75 ovr who has a sub 1 era in 30 IP for almost any pitcher who had an era of 3.5 or more with the same ip.
Except Soto. You can trade for Soto with 2 C potential prospects about 85% of the time. Might have to throw in a B, but he’s insanely easy to trade for unless they have patched that
@@buiesportscards5122 They may have patched it. When testing this I grabbed the Os top players (Ced, Means, Hays) and tried to see if I could get the top player in each team. Soto, Trout, Judge and ppl like that I couldn't. But for 75% of the teams I could. Then on the ones like Soto I tried to use the top prospects (Adley and G-Rod) along with others and I couldn't. Maybe I just messed something up, but I think they fixed it.
Yo Kenny idk if anybody has commented about it yet but there’s a “Depth Chart” feature where you can see what your entire team looks like the current year you’re in and the next 5 years in the future. It shows you your cap situation over the next 5 years and what players will be on the team. You should try it out.
Hey Kenny, enjoying the series so far, I gotta few words of guidance tho: 1. Along with overall and potential, teams will be looking to trade guys that are on the last year of their deal, who they know they won’t re-sign. It’s better to trade an 85ovr player for prospects than to let him walk, even if it’s halfway into the season, so the CPU will do that. 2. The thing that explains what all the words mean, is the transaction handbook, under the 2nd tab at the top, then under “transactions” in that drop down. 3. If you go to your roster, and then press LT and RT, you can see rosters for other teams, and in the top right of the screen, it’ll show you if they’re rebuilding and will trade good players for prospects, or if they’re contending and will give YOU prospects for good players that you’re not gonna re-sign at the end of their contract.
I say for the trades you should go for the Detroit CF prospect bc Austin Meadows is already like 27-28 whereas the CF is like 22 and can be apart of the future with his A potential
Make sure to dedicate sometime adjusting the lineup (you can start by moving polanco to inside the first four, I would say no. 2) I've been loving the series!
Love the videos, and also you need to move Bummer from your second set up spot. The game almost never puts in the second set up man during sim, they usually get maybe 10 innings per season
Kenny to find the Rule Handbook go to the handshaking at the top of the screen then click transactions, then handbook. That will give you all the info you need for baseball stuff.
Kenny trade for Alec Bohm!! He was a top prospect who’s been underwhelming thus far, not happy in Philly, and u can trade for him for sure! Plus he’s got a good swing for when u use!!!
27:08 when i have runners on the corners i make the base runners steal when he pitches and i bunt bc by the time they field the ball they cant turn a double play and u should score if all goes right
the biggest thing i personally love to do for trades is moneyball strategy, trade players a year or 2 away from hitting free agency for players with 5+ years left and some room to grow. I like to think i can use players at their peak and then trade them off, tampa bay and cleveland style
I enjoy watching this series and your MLB The Show franchise. I wish you the best of luck with your season and franchise. I really do hope u get the win cause you are doing a amazing job with your franchises. I also am a huge franchise person when it comes to The Show and do believe that you will have success in your franchise. I look forward to and can’t wait for the next episode #KeepTheSeriesGoing #WatchTilTheEnd #AlwaysLeaveALike
Kenny I have been enjoying your series videos but I have one dilemma: Can you update us every episode or two on standings, look in to what’s going on around the league, and just give us an update around the franchise and this MLB world. You made trades but you didn’t really show us how the teams you were trading with are doing, compared to expectations and why they would be doing the deal and etc. So if you could just refresh the viewers that would be super helpful thanks!
To rob home runs, you have to be running as you jump into the wall at the perfect time. The easiest way for me is to zig zag back and forth on my way to the wall until the ball is there and I can time it perfectly. Your momentum doesn’t matter you can jump whenever
Prospects always super high value. The A.I. is good at trading for what teams need so don’t sweat it. Get starting pitching, hitters are 10 a penny. Good starters win titles
Bro the Santander out at 3. Little tip you can tag up a little bit early before the tag up buttom appears Just time it go right before the catch the ball
I recommend trading for “solid” 3rd or 4th rotation guys with a few years of team control this year, to prepare for playoff pushes in future years, then when your team is ready, you are a piece away from a great team while your younger guys develop
i know its rude to bring up other creators but bengal changed his pitching interface to classic to represent the pitchers stats like control rather than keep pinpoint. But he didnt change from zone hitting which i could argue is the same thing. Just a thought if you feel like pitching is still to easy
MLB the show's trade value, according to devs, supposedly got redone this year so trades may seem weird but they say they take 3 years of player performance into trade value not 1 year. Makes it weird especially if you don't understand all of baseball finances but go for what the trade finder shows as a baseline
Also Kenny if you didn’t know, for a pitcher ER Is earned runs, not errors😂 i love these vids so much, make me wanna sit and watch MLB film wit you and just talk baseball
Get Keston Hieura he is a beast in this game + try to make trades with two players because the second players value will add less so a perfect trade would be something like this. You recieve: Keston Hieura and Adrian Houser or Luis Urias from the Brewers Brewers recieve: Jacob Nottingham and a 3rd base "prospect"
You should bump up Rodriguez BB/9 to at least low 50s anything under that and the pitcher 9 outta 10 times will have era 5+ hes killing it in right life and for the future always take a look at there BB/9 higher the better
That TikTok is wrong Kenny, for a circle change, and all other pitches, you don’t have to wait for the animation to be done, although watching it helps. You wanna move your stick in the same speed that the animation shows. So when it says too fast it means you tracked with the stick too fast
Dope video as always. Pro tip if you want to make yourself sound more baseball-y: instead of saying their average when talking about how a hitter is doing, look at & talk about their slash line (also called triple slash). The general benchmark for a good season is slashing 3/4/5 (.300 average, .400 on base, .500 slugging), but that isn’t universal now that league wide averages are down. Not important at all, but I know you said you were still getting into baseball stats, so I figured I’d throw out one of the standard go-tos

This is my favorite series on UA-cam rn. Congrats on the birth of your daughter Kenny!
Yeah congrats! I didn’t even know lol
Trade for Joe Adell! He is super young, solid and has crazy potential! Nottingham for Adell. Do it!
That makes sense
The angels wouldn’t realistically give up Adell
It’s too lopsided
@@zacharyeiseman2906 true
Please
I say for the trades you should go for the Detroit CF prospect bc Austin Meadows is already like 27-28 whereas the CF is like 22 and can be apart of the future with his A potential
Jo Adell right?

We love this series Kenny
Lol ur name

I love this series too
Bad teams will offload players who are great and good teams will too if they have one year
@9:06 love how Kenny just doesn’t hesitate and calls ER (earned runs) error
MORE OF THIS SERIES
Make sure to dedicate sometime adjusting the lineup (you can start by moving polanco to inside the first four, I would say no. 2) I've been loving the series!
Ryan Mountcastle must really be the man, he’s killing it in this series and Brett Barrett’s fantasy series
Can’t stand that guy. He’s way too annoying to watch
@@Bur6212 Nobody can please everybody 🤷🏻♂️
Idk why but the “JORGE!” got my ass 😂
Loving the series bro, and congrats on becoming a dad!
LOVE THIS SERIES KEEP IT UP KENNY
Love the videos, and also you need to move Bummer from your second set up spot. The game almost never puts in the second set up man during sim, they usually get maybe 10 innings per season

Kenny leaning over to see Franconas jersey was great

27:08 when i have runners on the corners i make the base runners steal when he pitches and i bunt bc by the time they field the ball they cant turn a double play and u should score if all goes right
Quick tip, if you have an open base with force outs and your down in the count. Don’t be afraid to walk the batter!
I don’t even like baseball and I’m watching you still that means your doing something right
Polanco didn’t get injured in 2020 they only play 60 games
For how many runs there are in each game nothing is realistic just have fun with it
This series is awesome
Didnt even notice the Danny Brown vinyl at first, thats so dope. Also loving the series, keep it up!
the biggest thing i personally love to do for trades is moneyball strategy, trade players a year or 2 away from hitting free agency for players with 5+ years left and some room to grow. I like to think i can use players at their peak and then trade them off, tampa bay and cleveland style
I love this series Kenny! It’s great stuff!
kenny said "its just me getting into the swing of things" baseball pun without knowing 0:10
Day 1 of asking you to trade for the young star Triston McKenzie on the Guardians
Let’s go O’s! I got that same reaction when Adley, Grayson, and Hall’s picture lol

28:43 you need to pitch 5 innings to qualify for the win
I was fr looking to see if the next episode came out like a minute ago
Big W for a hell of a series.
Thanks Kenny,I’m going through a tough break up right now. This is what I need and I want u to keep going

Kenny when looking at pitchers stats ER stands for earned runs meaning the other team earned them and un earned run would he off an error or such 9:11
To rob home runs, you have to be running as you jump into the wall at the perfect time. The easiest way for me is to zig zag back and forth on my way to the wall until the ball is there and I can time it perfectly. Your momentum doesn’t matter you can jump whenever
Love this series man keep it up
I’m loving this series kenny
i dont know what it is but this series is so damn entertaining
Do not forget to look at the minor league systems and call players up and down. (Even if its just from AA to AAA)
The ad placements are too funny Kenny
Prospects always super high value. The A.I. is good at trading for what teams need so don’t sweat it. Get starting pitching, hitters are 10 a penny. Good starters win titles
5:50 lmao it says crap with the teams interested
Loving the series Kenny, also for a starting pitcher to be qualified for a Win they need to pitch at least 5IP
Kenny u should trade for a number 2-3 starter with some team control someone Sean Manea or Pablo Lopez
*9:06* is earned runs, not errors
Bro the Santander out at 3. Little tip you can tag up a little bit early before the tag up buttom appears Just time it go right before the catch the ball
I love this series so much
Pull the trigger on Lauer. Struggling on a team fighting for playoffs and Brewers need a catcher. Makes sense and good trade both ways
I think you think more realistic for trades, j to make the growth more gradual
I like that short stop you drafted I wish he had more opportunities
Kenny is the GOAT 🐐🐐🐐
Whoever pitches through the 5th and has lead and keeps lead gets the win or if lead changes later the pitcher that’s in when lead changes gets win
kenny with the moneyball season with this team lmao
Mullins and Mountcastle are my favorite players on the team
I recommend trading for “solid” 3rd or 4th rotation guys with a few years of team control this year, to prepare for playoff pushes in future years, then when your team is ready, you are a piece away from a great team while your younger guys develop
Kenny is back with another banger lets go
When making trades look at the wording above the meter and it will say whether they will accept it or not
In my nationals franchise I traded for Ryan Mountcastle and the dude is insane. Definitely one of the orioles best players
Call up Travis Lankins Sr that guy always sims well and is actually on the Orioles real life roster.
35:38 you can make catches off the wall if it’s at a human height
My cousin actually babysits for polonco so it’s hype you get him on your team
Gotta love a 40 minute Kenny video
Also Kenny, for a win a pitcher needs to be winning after pitching 5.0 innings
3:55 Morale doesn’t have any effect on players anymore. In the past they had an effect on OVR
You should put hitting on legend
i know its rude to bring up other creators but bengal changed his pitching interface to classic to represent the pitchers stats like control rather than keep pinpoint. But he didnt change from zone hitting which i could argue is the same thing. Just a thought if you feel like pitching is still to easy
What batting camera view is that?

I was laughing when he said that
You should definitely get Meadows. Not an insane or unrealistic trade on either teams part and he’s a big improvement for the Orioles
Upload this series more
Go to sliders and put cpu pitch speed all the way up
Kenny, Terry Francona is also the coach who was lucky enough to coach MJ for his short stint in the minors
not a big baseball fan, what happened at 24:38 ?
Your awesome bro keep it up!
Finesse
Teams that are trading star players are always willing to take good prospects in return if they are starting to rebuild
Yo Kenny the ER in the pitching is the earned runs
Just finess if the trade pops up, have fun my guy
Can you get a Eloy Jimenez
Get Keston Hieura he is a beast in this game + try to make trades with two players because the second players value will add less so a perfect trade would be something like this.

turn controller vibration off if u haven't already. love the franchise vids
kenny what happened to the wheel my nba series?
It is a 5 inning minimum for a pitcher to get a win and the team has to be winning at the time he comes out, they also have to win obviously.
gotta upload these more kenny 😘
Does Kenny have to try Legend difficulty???
That Jo Adell trade nasty

you have to choose the base to throw to way earlier if you don't want Polanco to do that lol
