While I appreciate the engagement, still kind of feels like the rest of the league is running my team. I haven't updated my trade block.

All jokes aside, I do think it’s unfortunate that MC can’t manage the team the way he sees fit. He is clearly itching for a deal and everyone else in the league seems to be itching for action, so why don’t we all make an offer for his guys at the same time and let the best man win. Full disclosure, I will be making my own offer right now. Can I guarantee it will be good? No. Come beat it!
-
That is a good point. On the flip side, 3 of the 6 guys in your return were cut within 2 weeks, Manoah looks like a shell of himself, Mead has a 56 wRC+ in AAA, and Moreno still swings a wet noodle for a bat. And you still have Trout. No harm no foul?
-
Scherzer's trade value only going up. Thanks for helping me out everyone: Scherzer has admitted that he's still pitching with discomfort below his right scapula, Dan Martin and Mike Puma of the New York Post report.
Scherzer first injured his shoulder last month and had a start pushed back, although he never went on the injured list.... His effectiveness and ability to not aggravate the injury are in question, though. Scherzer sports a 5.56 ERA in five starts this season.

how about u stimulate my dusty ass, dork
-
hence my whole RIP to competitive league. I can simulate consensus opinions all day long on MLB The Show or w/e. This dusty ass league needs to face some music one way or the other. Humoring a secure status quo trash tho.
-
I’m guessing the reason it’s become inactive is because the league now has to decide which deals can and can’t happen, or wtf or someone else will cry when a deal they don’t like goes down. I’ve given up on making offers since that debacle, and plan to manage my team through free agency.
-
Sticky issues aren't fun but this league has one thing going for it, and that is competition. It's been among the best of Otto for ages, Cosby with his recent shiny crown a great example. Turding out a dead roster for a season is stupid and bad and honestly the MC and Cosby trade should've happened. As it stands it's my least active league and that's been the inverse over the years.
-
Trying to make trade and get told "I'm waiting this out for NYSwallows benefit as requested so there isn't the same issue that you had last season with Cos' buddy Sho Time. I'm inactive and will be dropped a end of season." --- that is not best for the league or competitive
-
Okay, so, like, if WTF is gone and leaving end of season, why are we not opening up the team for a new manager to compete moving forward. A locked team/roster/manager is not the best outcome.
-
we're all just waiting on the paperwork to go through
-
Is WTF playing? Normally he's the one that chimes in on needing a valid roster.
-
No worries MC, I wasn’t going to offer up anything good anyways. You have receipts to prove that. I love to send junk.

True. I’ve also been having trouble getting a new stadium built. I’ll be in Vegas by 2027, look out then.

MCs, Oakland punts years in advance and no one minds.

Paging: In order to act like a real MLB team when considering the timing of my trades, as apparently I'm supposed to do, I will be factoring in stadium attendance, season ticket renewal rates, tv ratings, the latest on the tax incentives my city gov't. is considering offering, and a host of other factors that are similarly impactful in this league, before making any trades that make my team worse this season, but in my estimation better next season. Come back to me in July I guess.

TOO SOON! Grab your pitchforks everyone, paging wants to have transactions again!

How long is appropriate to wait before I send bad trade offers for the same players in the deals that were vetoed?

Very funny to read these messages so soon after all the empty threats to leave the league. As though you could ever do that - if you did, who would you talk to about how awesome you are? I imagine all 11 of the rest of us could quit and you'd still be here shouting “I’m the best!” into the void. I do appreciate the clarification though, I know your league mates are very invested in all the details of your “chips”.
-
Sorry, 4 of the last 6. Details details.
-
Duzy, which deal? What's the concern. If you're going to speak up please do so.
-
BTW, In my time in this league, outrage has never been the norm when the first blockbuster of the season happens. This deal is causing the concern

Wtf you quit yet?
-
I will say the veto to Insufferable's deal makes no sense to me. WTF needs penalized for being an outright reactive baby clown if that was why you guys veto'd - if not, why? And poor MC? Like, shitty deal imo but he wanted his guys and was declined on some outrage. Now he's stuck with dealing with a bunch of haters and shit talkers lol.
-
Rotting for you bud. You’ll need it to topple the mighty Cosby sweaters
-
The people shall vote
-
As commish said he’ll cancel the bullshit jrod deal and we can all move on with our lives.
-
Congrats to all you crybabies. Still going to take home my third straight title and 4 of the last 5. Bunch of snowflakes can’t accept that some managers are better than others.
-
I mean, I've placed every year I've paid lmao. I'm in the running this year too with plenty of flexibility. I'm not the one causing a charity trade riot 2 weeks into the season, but please continue to fault me for accepting a trade we all would have. Definitely not your waivers for Trout and Scherzer nonsense ... or ability to discuss it without a ragequit attached.
-
That’s a hot take. I get your perspective though, the only chance you have in this league is getting gifted jrod, Betts and Xander.
-
Curious to see how either trade gets vetoed though if we aren't vetoing based on consensus value. Can't stop any owner from being a dumbass if that's their choice. I have years of receipts of WTF loathing me for my offers, no whiff of collusion. To top it off I 100% think WTFs return crushes MCs and it's not that close. 3 or 4 of his guys were very recent waivers and Manoah nearing droppable IMO. These opinions are why we all play though
-
You did nothing wrong MC, lol. Outrage is the norm when the first blockbuster breaks. Get your guys.
-
2) the league. I’ll refrain from putting players on the trading block or entertaining trades until a majority of teams in the league have made a trade or some other arbitrary date that feels right to everyone. Of course I’ll then only make trades that the average league member would think I won. Not expecting a lot of activity. See you in the draft next March.

1)I did have these players on the trade block and replied/countered to multiple offers prior to accepting this offer. I also don’t understand the logic of why I need to wait until later in the season when 1) the played I am trading have less value due to their expected salary for next year and the amount of time they can contribute to the other teams results and 2) the increased likelihood that an injury erases all of their value.
Having said that, if the league vetoes the trade, that’s u

4) As far as the second trade...I don’t think it would have happened had the first not occurred. I’ll void the second trade if the first is rejected. Everyone should vote, that is the process that is set up by the site.
-
3) I’m pretty sure if the roles were reversed neither MCB nor COS would like it either. As proven by the reactions to second trade. What is the magic date that a trade like this is ok? I don’t know, but it’s obviously not now. I think at this point the WHOLE league should have it’s say. Let’s see what the vote says. If it’s rejected, you guys can rework it. Maybe offering pieces to other teams and countering their offers.
-
2) MCB, while understanding your strategy, applying it in the second week of the season is in somewhat poor form. Essentially you are blowing up your team. A trade such as this would not occur in the MLB in April. Thus, pissing off most in the league and putting the whole league at risk.
-
1) The site won’t allow me to post this reply as one post. Hopefully it will be read in order. As far as the first trade is concerned...I waited till most of the emotion and any potential alcohol added thoughts had waned. My thoughts as commissioner...

Maybe that’s a bad strategy, maybe I executed it poorly. But I paid the same entry fee as everyone else to try to have fun, do something interesting, maybe learn something. If everyone valued all players the same and used the same strategy there’s really no point to joining a league.

I drafted Trout for the express purpose of trading him at some point before or after the season for players that would be a better value next season, the earliest I thought I would reasonably be able to compete. I thought using my salary cap in this fashion would be more effective than directly drafting players. The offers I’ve received thus far for Trout were not as good, in my opinion, as this offer. Given Trout and Scherzers recent injury history I decided I could not risk waiting much longer

Curious why you would veto my deal with mc?
-
I vetoed them both
-
I typically have quietly gone about my business in this league. I must say, my initial reaction to the JRod, Betts, Bogaerts trade was "this can't be legitimate." I wanted to wait and think about it to make sure I wasn't reacting out of personal reasons. After giving it thought I still feel the trade is highly questionable. I have no problem losing legitimately but this is sketchy. I will honor whatever our whole league decides...

Also I appreciate the pass
-
Thanks for that generous. I appreciate the reality check. Like I said, I’ll leave if the trade isn’t canceled.
-
Hahaha come on Cosby, are you always this insufferable? It's just so rich: "I don't like the accusations". You were making the most serious accusations! (of collusion) Although I guess in your defense, your subsequent commentary made it clear you don't actually know what the word means, so maybe we should give you a pass? In any case, that's multiple threats to leave the league, and I don't think anyone has jumped up to hold you back, so please don't let us stand in your way.
