So everyone cut is cut . . .and that will be our pool for the auction?
-
Nope.
-
So Commish, did anyone contact you about cutting someone involved in pending trades?
-
The trade feed on slack is still buzzing, lots of late night deals getting done!

I'm always out here :)

3 hours to deadline...Anybody out there?
-
Cano is available if there are any takers.
-
If anyone would like Scooter Gennett the right handed killer, or one of my stud RPs, let me know. Happy to keep them all but figured I'd check in.
-
Just a heads up to the league should any trades go down. I have zero problem using the commissioner tools to cut players that would be in a pending trade today (going through after the deadline). I don't know if this has been a deal breaker for anyone or not, but if someone were to acquire a guy they would cut as a part of a trade, I can clear that cap penalty.
-
Speaking of last minute deals, Harvey or Fernandez anyone?
-
Anyone want to make some last minute deals? I'd like to move Mike Zunino and Dilson Herrera.

That being said, I will be more thoughtful on my responses if I ever decide to make trades or if any of you send me offers. I understand how that response could seem a bit condescending, but in all honesty - some offers I've been sent have seem condescending as well...Obscene actually. Like, "take my injured player and give me five of your players kind of deal." So I guess it's a give and take.
-
Which was more or less the offer I got at that point. I understand that's how it's going and that it will only increase in the days leading up to the deadline, but I am not interested in helping other teams salary caps, which I think I have made clear by making a stink about that Cano trade. We all seem to be very active in this league, not sure where my intent of not taking on high salaries got lost in translation.
-
@Hector It isn't that I completely mean "God, you’re so stupid, why would you ever make me that offer." It's more..."Why on earth would I agree to this?" Which I believe I sent in my respose to Short Porch and he neglected to include in his rant on the board. I try not to judge on many trades, but recently, the whole "I'm gonna dump all this salary for a nobody" is becoming the norm in this league...and I think that getting offers in that vein really annoy me. Cont...

@Duda I had a feeling Brugal was involved in some of your messages. ;)
-
but to keep it general (unless anyone wants to be more specific). The league is better when everyone is involved and understanding. I don't think anyone in this room is honestly malicious. Probably best to keep that in mind with any offer that is sent/received. There are plenty of offers that I get that are not close to what I would want. To me that's part of the game. I just try to look at any offer and see if there are slight changes to it that can help my long term goal.
-
I agree 100% with what Tom said. All things considered, I'm sympathetic to both sides. I have absolutely zero issue with any team not wanting to trade (that is no problem at all), but if you want to make an upgrade via trade the best way to do that is typically give other teams some guidance in offers (or propose offers of your own). To give zero feedback (or feedback that may be interpreted as hostile) doesn't help anyone. There are many different tangents I could take off of this...

I sbd most others throw a bunch of offers out there and see what sticks. My issue is that this is a game, and to reply like you're too good to be offered something so ridiculous is just bring as ass, plain and simple.

Not taking sides here at all...just shooting from the hip...I am as guilty as any as sending out some terrible trade ideas. Sometimes it is just to get some dialogue going, sometimes looking for a steal, sometimes it's Brugal (#Griffey feel me, lol). Yet and still I think I have gotten a deal done with just about every owner out there. It's Fantasy land and having fun is what we are here for. This league is great because people are involved, a rarity that we should appreciate.
-
Maybe both the offer and the reply are stupid, as you pointed out … but to me the best thing to do with a stupid offer is to just hit reject, instead of escalating with a reply like that - we all get bad offers, I know I get a ton, from all different teams, but I just reject them and don't worry about it. Just my opinion, and like I said that doesn’t mean it’s right, but if we’re going into it for real, that’s how I see things. Hope we can all work it out and get back to baseball.

Again, it seems like your intent isn’t to be rude, and I appreciate that, but I certainly understand how to a lot of teams (and myself included) that reply feels only a hair away from “God, you’re so stupid, why would you ever make me that offer.”

I know that owners have made plenty of offers that they put some thought into, and thought that they were offering a player you might want based on some comments or other reactions, and even if the trade is still something you have no interest in, my point of view is that I don’t see why it takes more than a couple seconds to just click no.

I mean, I don't say this to start/continue a fight, or to say that my interpretation is better than yours, but I'll be honest, "Jesus please don't waste my time like this" feels pretty harsh to me. It seems like that's not how it's intended, but I think that's how a lot of people feel.

Alright...I was going to leave this alone, but let's go about it because it's snowing outside and I think we may be lacking in the entertainment department. Since when "Jesus please don't waste my time like this." quantifies as a harsh response? I mean...Considering that short porch already called me a jackass, and a somebody with a personality disorder, do we need to elaborate more or did we get to a point where we can move on? I'm here all afternoon anyway.
-
And I agree Tom. Much better to get along. Way I look at it is that offers perceived as stupid happen when you can't tell what someone wants. There are very easy solutions to that problem.
-
We're talking about cigars? Right? Cause I can make some deals in that case.
-
Plus, I know what Griffey likes - Cubans. Gotta draft some of those new imports and then maybe it's deal time :)

I will say, I don't like the idea that any bad offer needs a harsh response... sometimes someone tries to make a legitimate offer but just isn't sure what players a team will like. But I'll second Urban Achievers, much more fun to get along than to argue.

@Jeters Hey, all I can do to help. Not that you and I have ever had any problems, you know? I may be wrong, but didn't we trade recently?

Success! Now i can be reminded to never trade with you :D
