No this is a rare situation where a team with a lot of talent also has the best value in the game. Ending the season before it starts barring injuries to multiple guys really sucks and I can see where a lot of the owners are coming from. Hell both sides are right. The trade is future for win now, but win now usually doesn’t end a season race day one.
-
So basically any impactful trade we need to check with the league to make sure each owner thinks it’s okay???? Get out of here

Main concern with the trade is after seeing initial reaction that it’s percieved the league is over and people will lose interest since first has a clear front runner. That’s my two sense, if it was a deadline deal with a month left and the other competitors were close and incentivized to buy then it’s a different story.
-
Too many times in fantasy owners only think how it effects them PERSONALLY rather than how it actually effects the two teams involved in the trade. I accomplished a goal and made my team better by trading away keepable assets. While the other team gainsed keepable assets that will help them contend in their long term goals 2020-future years) vetoing a trade because it doesn’t benefit you personally is not the right way to play fantasy sports

I’m with ya there man. The opportunity was there for shex to set his team up to contend in 2020 by trading for one of the best assets for next year. While trading away guys that he won’t keep

I"m inclined to accept the trade. Although the future-value side is a bit light, the trade is just a present value/future value swap turned up to 11. If other teams have future value like Vladito and Gleyber, they too can cash it out for a big short-term upgrade.

Each owner runs his team the way he wants to. It would be ridiclous for this trade to be vetoed. There is no collusion. And that’s the only time a trade should ever be vetoed for

How on earth would this get vetoed? It’s ON baseball each owner has his own value of a player. I don’t think it’s rigjt for a trade to ever get vetoed. He’s getting upside In 4 keepable assets. There shouldn’t even need to be any explaination as to why this trade was accepted. Shex obviously liked his return. As did I. Played multiple years of ON baseball as well as ON football never saw a trade get vetoed.....

Look I'm the new guy in this league but I don't see anything good in this trade. There is nothing wrong with vetoing a trade that seems wrong or unfair for some reason. Everyone can make their own decision one way or another. The race for second place shouldn't happen before the season even really begins, as Launch Angles suggests.

I would love to hear some defense for this trade. It basically feels like we would be allowing Kluber to operate from day 1 with a $530 salary cap while the rest of us have the standard $400. Beyond the players involved it seems unfair to the rest of the league to give someone that level of financial advantage at this point in the season.

....and the race for second place starts today.

Just a note for everyone (particularly first-timers): Trades can be accepted up until the cut deadline at 11:59 pm EST on 1/31. However, if the accepted trade does not process prior to the cut deadline, you will not be able to cut any of the players that you are receiving in the trade. So don't accept or offer any trades for players you don't want to receive after 1/29.

On that note, I still have one too many between Turner, Rendon, and Cruz. 3 expensive guys for 2 spots. If you like any of them, make me an offer. I want cheap & interesting talent.
-
It's almost time to make your cuts or final trades people. Deadline is 6 days away.
-
Agreed. And our differences in evaluation are why trades are even possible in the first place. Bye Bye Baby, Diaz was worth something like 850 points last year, which is like 400 points above replacement, not 200-300. But THIS year he probably will get like 650 points, in line with your estimate. It's crazy how great he was last year, which was one of the main reasons the M's outperformed their expected record.
-
Absolutely. I liked hearing other people’s thoughts on the trades. Because everyone has a different approach to the game. I already can tell I will like this league.
-
One thing I like about ottoneu is that you can ask about a trade and get reasoned responses. Without the ad hominem attacks, it doesn't even feel like fantasy sports.

Major concern about Diaz opportunities on a new team (see Familia’s numbers on Mets). Cheap star potential on two young players. RP elite is 200-300 higher than average replacement, position players elite is 400-600 higher than average replacement. All factors for me.
-
Obvious regression from Diaz and he’s a little pricey meadows could be a star didi was great last year
