5 players you need to trade for on MLB The Show 23

Spencer Turnbull

Starting Pitcher, Detroit Tigers 79 overall

The back end of a rotation is important. You are never going to have a rotation of five guys who are aces. You would deplete your roster doing that. Finding guys like Turnbull can be the difference for your franchise.

Due to his age (30) and his potential (C), you will not have to part with much to acquire the veteran pitcher. Again, when searching for pitching, find guys with 70+ control ratings and go from there. Turnbull has 74 control with 98 velocity and 99 break.

He is easy to pitch with if you play a lot of the games and don’t simulate whole seasons.

Oswaldo Cabrera

Left Fielder, New York Yankees 79 overall

Whether you acquire him to be a starter or first reserve outfielder, Oswaldo Cabrera is a must for your roster. The 24-year-old righty has B potential and is a plus defender. He is also an ultra utility player, listing almost every position on the field as secondary positions.

The bat leaves a little bit to be desired, but he is balanced in terms of facing righties or lefties. Again, at 24 years of age with B potential, the growth will certainly come.

Dealing with the Yankees is tougher than most as they cannot absorb a ton of contractual obligations. To make this deal work, money will have to basically match or be very close. He is gettable, but he will cost a MLB-ready player and a prospect.
