TRADES DIALOG
Setting Up a Trade
First, choose the team that you
wish to offer a trade to from the drop-down list box in the middle of
the dialog. When you pick a team, the list of players below the team name
will change to reflect your choice.
To put together a trade offer, click on a player that click the Add To
Deal button above that player's team. Alternatively, you can just double-click
on a player to add him to, or remove him from, a trade offer.
If you would like to add money to the deal,
click the arrow buttons next to edit boxes to the right (to increment
the amount in millions of dollars). The computer will not let you set
a monetary figure in a trade that is higher than the amount of cash the
team currently has.
Proposing a Trade
To see if the opposing owner
will accept the deal, hit Submit Offer. The other team's owner will respond,
either accepting the deal or letting you know how reasonable he considers
the deal to be. If he declines your offer, click the 'Hint' button to
get a description of that team's needs. Building a trade offer around
these needs will increase the likelihood of your offer being accepted.
[Hint: You can always find out what an
owner is looking for by offering him nothing in exchange
for one of his players. When he declines the offer, click the 'Hint' button
to get an idea of what he's looking for.]
Getting a Counter Offer
If the other owner turns down
your offer, you can ask for a Counter Offer in return. Click the "Get
Counter Offer" button to ask the opposing owner to add players to
the deal until he finds it acceptable. The owner will not remove any players
from the trade offer, and will not alter the amount of money that you
proposed to change hands. Within those parameters, he will try to craft
the fairest possible trade that he would accept. If this is too difficult
he will let you know that he is having difficulty building a trade involving
those players at which point you should start from scratch with your negotiations.
To clear an entire trade offer, simply
click the 'Clear Offer' button.
You can involve up to 15 players on each
team in the trade, but be sure to fill your roster and readjust your lineup
after making trades so that you can field a complete team come game time!
Balancing the Trade
To save negotiation time, you
can let the computer balance the points for any trade offer. Just fill
in the players and click "Balance Points" and the other team
will tell you how many points he will contribute (or demand in return)
in order to consider the trade a fair trade.
Scouting the Players
In many parts of Baseball
Mogul, double-clicking on a player's name with bring up that player's
Scouting Report. For ease of use, double-clicking a player in the Trade
Dialog instead allows you to quickly add or remove players from your trade
offer. If you wish to view the Scouting Report of a player who's listed
on the Trade Dialog, click on the name and hit the 'Scouting Report' button
next to the relevant player list.
