Best players to trade for in MLB The Show 20

First Base

Matt Adams (NYM) – Age 31, Overall 71, Potential C, Contract $2.2M (Final Year)

One of the easier first baseman to trade for on this list. Adams features good power (78 vs R, 65 vs L) while sporting fielding, arm accuracy and reaction ratings around 70. Won’t cost anything significant in a trade if you need this power bat off the bench or to fill in for an injury.

Jesus Aguilar (MIA) – Age 29, Overall 76, Potential C, Contract $2.6M (2 years ARB)

While not an amazing standout in any one area, Aguilar is a good power hitter with good fielding. Not hard to trade for as the Marlins love to shed salary, but you’ll have to trade low cost players to get him.

Derek Dietrich (CIN) – Age 30, Overall 68, Potential D, Contract $2M (1 year ARB)

Strictly a bench/utility guy. Good fielder, but can only hit for power against RHP (75 power rating). Value comes in his versatility as he can play 1B, 2B, 3B, LF and RF.

Edwin Encarnacion (CHIW) – Age 37, Overall 80, Potential A, Contract $12M (Final Year)

Need a 1B/3B for a year that crushes home runs? Encarnacion is surprisingly easy to trade for to get a great power hitter (89 vs R, 86 vs L).

Dominic Smith (NYM) – Age 24, Overall 71, Potential A, Contract $584K (1 year RNW, 3 years ARB)

While I don’t recommend putting Dominic Smith in LF, he can play both positions. A young, under control, high potential 1B who is blocked at positions with the Mets. If you want an above average fielding 1B who can hit for power (76 vs R, 66 vs L), trade for Dominic Smith.
