Because Skull wanted a $10 loan to make the trade, but there aren't any loans until the season starts.
-
I love the creativity. Why wasn't Rivera for Perez just part of the first deal? (first day in ottoneu so I don't know all of the trade restrictions).

That said, I don't think either component of the deal is so out of balance to warrant a veto, even when viewed separately. I am using NO commish powers in this trade, and I'd be happy to enforce similar pledges between any of you.
-
As part of the deal Skull and I just agreed to, we've also agreed to trade Rivera and a $10 loan for Perez once such a trade is legal. This is 100% agreed to, and not severable, so evaluate that too when you evaluate this trade.
-
Looking to trade Brian Wilson - any takers today? Need SS, OF, or Util of similar (ish) salary.
-
You know, this was a bad idea. It'd be onerous for anyone but me to negotiate an unofficial loan trade. Go ahead and make pledges if you want, and I'll police them later, but I'm not messing with values for me or anyone else. Ethics woke up late today!
-
We could ask Niv for a clarification on WHY you cannot loan before the auction/draft. We are preparing for the season right now, and a trade with a loan is just as useful now as it is after the auction/draft.
-
Yeah, sort of. I'm not sure if I consider it a "technical limitation" or a "rule." If the latter, going around it would not be a good thing.
-
Not sure I understand... are you trying to allow a loan in the offseason outside of the rules?
-
Would anyone mind if I changed player values temporarily to simulate a loan? Once the season started, I'd put in a trade for the loan and reverse the player values. If any of you wanted to make a loan and felt like you couldn't, this wouldn't be fair.
-
That A.J. Pinera thing was an experiment. I immediately removed him, but it doesn't show in transactions for some reason.
-
This auction is looking like more and more fun all the time...
-
Hm, about 1 second after I cut Cano I wondered if someone would have wanted to lock him up at $51 for a small fee. Ah well.
-
Don't worry I'm in! I was messing around with the roster organizer earlier this month but apparently that doesn't count as activity.
-
Crap, I somehow missed that Queen City has been idle since Nov. 1. Sent him an email and I'll give him some time, but we might be replacing our 4th team.

OK, welcome on board Steve. Sorry to give you a hard time, it was probably an accident that you signed up for the same league twice. Thanks for making some moves to let us know you're alive. Don't forget to pay by 2-15.
-
I re-abandoned Regina and will follow with Sabr. I can help new owners cut player penalty free for a bit after the deadline if someone comes in late.

"Blood-dimmed tide" is from a famous Yeats poem; "Pickoff Psychosis" is from a poem by Marianne Moore called "Baseball & Writing" and refers to Whitey Ford.

I majored in English Lit. Did I ever mention that, when I didn't know the answer on a quiz, I would answer it "Byron"?

Skullet Master's trading block has been updated!

I messaged Regina and also offered him a trade - no word. Not good! I will say, though, this is the FIRST TIME in 12 years of fantasy baseball that I have managed and/or strategized in January.
-
Byron's not an allusion, that's really my name. I abandoned Sabr since no one said they had any friends. I'm worried about our replacement Regina: they haven't done anything and the roster's not legal.
-
Yes! On to upgrading the team name...
-
Yeah, I didn't catch the allusions either. But maybe now that Skullet helped me figure out the site I can change to something poetic and menacing.

Up on the very top... Next to "Logged in as" and Email Settings.

Wow! So much poetry in this league now. Byron, Yeats, Marianne Moore.

How did you change the name? I'm kind of tired of being called "Virgin" in the chat... :)
-
Thanks for the welcome. anybody want a bunch of chumps that I'm just going to dump anyway? heh.
-
That's a new owner, but they've yet to be active on the site. I sent them a message in the last hour reminding them of the keeper deadline.
-

Is there a new owner for Regina Raelians? (I offered a trade to them today, now I realize I have no idea if that is the new or old owner... ooops)
-
Well shoot, I no longer have the scariest team name. Welcome, Blood-Dimmed Tide is Loose! Sabr hasn't paid yet, so I guess he's out. Does anyone have a friend they want to bring in before I call him abandoned? Solid team.
-
The Blood-Dimmed Tide is Loose's trading block has been updated!
-
Hah! I realized that I used the wrong email address when I tried to ask if Sabr paid, so I asked again and am waiting for a response. If he's paid I'm going to leave him, as he spoke after arbitration and was active all year.
-
You could offer him a trade like Harper for Ibanez and see if he accepts or not... :)
-
So you emailed Sabr and no response yet? I think you should be able to find out if he's paid or not; if he did then I think he's gotta stay in even if not responding.
-
I'm not sure. Seems odd to not get a response, right? Only takes a second or two to confirm yes/no. I'd hate to boot someone who was legitimately not bailing on a team....
-
I was getting ready to boot Sabr, but looking at his roster as is I could understand him standing pat. Not that I consider everyone on his team a good keeper, but he can fill out a full lineup, and a pretty strong one. Should I wait?
-
Welcome to our two new replacement owners. Skull, I'm trying to find out if Sabr's paid for this year before I boot him, but if he hasn't I'm happy to make sure your friend gets his team.
-
Update I DO have someone (who is knowledgeable and won't disappear) to fill a dead team if we end up having one.
-

-
That really sucks about our dead teams!! I MAY have a person interested in playing, if we need one.
-
Well, Schpiel and Regina are gone. Neither has gotten back to me, and they haven't made a move or left a message since May and July, respectively. Holding out hope for SabrTooth, but we'll see.
-
Ugh, I just remembered Pineda was one vote away from getting voted off in arbitration instead of Upton. Even worse now.
