Yeah, I agree with you.. Not so much in not trusting Avila, but what is his real direction with the money this winter? I want to believe that was long as Mr I is above ground, is balls to the wall to get a title... Spend is necessary...

Anthony Fenech? Really?

Unfortunately, I've never actually went to the Opening Day game, but I have been there after work to partake in the festivities. I'm not sure I trust Al Avila running the team. Hopefully he learned a lot from Dombrowski. I've excited to see what DD does with the Red Sox. Already making swift moves acquiring Kimbrel. DD is going to thrive in Boston. I wish he wasn't let go, but he was sniffing around. My best friend is the Tigers beat from the Freep.

This past season, 2015 was the first Tigers home opener I missed since the second year of Comerica... That's my Mardi Gras every year, favorite couple days that I look forward to all year... Really, really hoping 2015 was an aberration and plan to be back there this April to kick off 2016... Nothing like it

I am currently in PA, where I was born and raised, but just moved back from Michigan after 15+ years living in the Detroit area... I love it there, and imagine will probably be back one day

Then between the 3-4 new guys, and the 5-6 losers that have been here for a while.. Maybe one of us can find our nuts this year and at least make Laser work for it a little bit... Fuckin ridiculous this guy winning 3 in a row... It's an embarrassment... Don't know how you guys can live with yourself.
-
Found at least one new owner, going to sign up today... He's legit, came into my yahoo keeper league last year send was handed a total abortion of a roster, and won it this year, a year later... Think he'll definitely be an asset. One more that is a good player from anther league is considering t, and I know he'll do a good job too... I also posted it in my dynasty league... Ill also post something on Slack, or Knights or Dizzy, if you want to post to solicit on the app...

Laser is busy...

I updated my trade block to show the players I'm at least considering cutting, if not definitely cutting. Anyone not on this list will be more difficult to acquire.

Some might say, I have a deal in mind where you get 12 of my guys and I get 10 of yours, including Harper, Donaldson and Fernandez ;)

That's awesome, welcome back... Certainly looks like we're back on track... I abandoned Cruz, so we're left with two openings... Mickey & Cruz...
PS, welcome back to you too Dizzy... :)
-
Hi guys - I had Mickey Rivers until a few days ago when things got wild. Happy to jump back in with Spahn... onward! Get at me with any trade ideas.

I really think replacing the owners we've replaced (especially Spahn) makes this a much better league moving forward, and the new owners all seem to be pretty good. Vibber actually agreed to take his old team (Dizzy Deans) back on, so one spot is full.
-
Spahn is gone... We are now 3 short, and 4 if I include Cruz, who hasn't checked in since August, so assume he's gone too... Losing 2 over the last trade debacle hurt...I hate to show 4 open teams to those looking, so I'll try and fill a few spots before posting Cruz... Any questions, comments, concerns, etc?

I'd be happy to see you two work out several more realistic, smaller deals. This thing has to get vetoed for the integrity of the league though.
-
Urban - I am actually one of the biggest proponents AGAINST vetoes - like commish said, basically only for collusion or similar. This falls into that bucket. This was a retaliation trade to Laser and others who rejected the lopsided deals he's been proposing the last few days. I highly doubt he realistically thinks this somehow makes his team better.
-
Tigers's trade block has been updated!
-
Guys, I have no problem voting against the deal. I think it's one sided.
-
What leads me to think this is shady... I offered a deal earlier today for Matz, offering two players that arguably have better value then any player in this draft.. And was rejected stating that Matz was a true #1, etc... Then turn around and give him away doesn't jive...
The only player in that deal that's at a value going back to Spahn is Desmond... He alone may have landed Matz, or Mcj, or even JD or Harper... Not all of them...
-
I've honestly never vetoed a deal in this league, or any league for that matter... This may be the first.
If it's not collusion, and coming from Urban, I don't believe it is... However, I do think that Spahns extreme distaste for laser, had him make this deal in order to take him down... Which brings to another point, which is that deals at the deadline and with loans are totally different circumstances then off season, not too mention, don't think anyone that's been in this league would help h
-
Do you veto every time you're not happy about a trade?
-
The question I'd ask is - if someone else (especially Laser) were on the receiving end of that, would you be happy if it went through?
-
And re: your point on laser. Dude has won 3 championships in a row. Fair to say he hasn't hurt his team long term in any of those deals?
-
I have no idea what he thinks or reacts to. All I know is he sent me the deal. I have no problem with voting against it because you have the option to do so with any trade.
-
Spahn - last year you made me type out and rationalize why I made a deal you didn't agree with. Can you do the same here? What is it about this return that makes it worthwhile for you to give up all of your good contracts? I'm open to being convinced this deal isn't crazy, need something more than talk of penny sized dicks though.
-
Urban, I'd 100% accept that trade if I were in your shoes too. It's too good to turn down. That said, I vetoed as soon as I looked it over. Take out Reddick, Familia, Donaldson, Forsythe, and Matz and I still wouldn’t make that trade from Spahn’s perspective. Wayyyyyy too much talent flowing in one direction and the only reason that should happen is for prospects, youth, or salary breathing room - none of which Spahn is getting here.

Why don't we get that deal canceled, and you two negotiate it out in smaller chunks that actually make sense.
-
Urban, you don't think this is his rash overreaction to all of the one-sided deals he's offered recently being rejected? Before this he offered me Harper for Bryant, Sano, and Cole, all under $20. How does he go from that to giving away all of his value contracts for players everyone else would cut?
