Coastal Empire's trade block has been updated!

We'll see about that.
-
Unless I trade Mike Trout soon, you're not finishing ahead of me.
-
Ah, but this is the perfect time to obtain the pieces I need to finish ahead of you, Schrodinger. That, you see, is my new season goal... Finish ahead of Schrodinger. 😀

Gotham, can you take a day off from updating your trade block? It's the freaking All Star break.

Coastal Empire's trade block has been updated!

Sorry man, I had no idea this would happen. I feel terrible
-
Matz and Hammel are both hurt. Thunder, did you put a hex on those guys before you traded them?
-
I see. Did not know that. Thanks Coastal!
-
Waiver rules are different with newly managed teams.
-
Interesting. Jedd Gyorko was cut at 9:44 this morning, and an auction started for him at 9:45. No waiver period. Am I missing something? Not that I was interested in claiming him, but maybe something is wrong?
-
Boy, I'm going to miss Clayton Kershaw. Clayton, we'll always have these two starts together.

Thunder Gun's trade block has been updated!
-
I see somebody was reading rotographs today.
-
I'm not sure what I'm doing at this point. I think those trades I just did actually help me this year and long term.
-
So you're all in on going for the championship, AND all in on rostering prospects? :)
-
I'll save everyone the trouble: I will not accept any offers for Carlos Correa or Lucas Giolito unless you're handing me the title this year. They aren't worth any short term gains.

Welcome Matt! We're glad to have you. Feel free to ask questions on the message board, as I'm sure any of the rest of the owners would be happy to help get you up to speed.

Hey everybody. My name is Matt & I am taking over for southside. This is my first ottoneu league and I am looking forward to learning on the job.

In the mean time, if any of you guys know 2 active owners that would like to take over, I think we need to address both Southside and Harrison. They have become a drag on the competitive balance. I don't like to intervene on ownership/trades, but when we get an owner that just says he doesn't care as rationale, I think it's in our best interest to find someone that does care
-
Alright guys. I understand that a lot of people were upset about the trade. There is no need to insult other dudes in the league. It sucks that our suspicions were correct, that Southside just didn't give a shit anymore, which is the root of the problem. I know that we all take pride in having a league of 12 guys that try their best, but it appears he no longer fits that mold. There was obviously no collusion with Thunder. I think we should exercise our veto power, and move on
-
It's a shame too, because Southside actually has a decent team if it was actually run/managed. I hate dead teams in a league.
-
It's all good man.
-
-2 years from now...."This isn't another one of those Nelson Cruz's, is it?"
-
Sorry, Alabama, that was too good to pass up.
-
I wonder if this will come to be known as the "Nelson Cruz Incident"?
-
Wait one moment.
-
I wonder if this will come to be known as the "Nelson Cruz Incident"?
-
Except exercise our individual veto powers. We'll see where that ends up.
-
Funny because I have a trade offer out there that's being ignored as well as multiple others that were ignored/rejected. Oh well. Nothing we can do now.
-
Oh, I'm just SO offended. ;-)

listen, it's clear you dont like my bash bros style here in this league. I'll just see my way out. By the way Marisnick is not my love child nor do I think of him sexually. I just stop caring about this team a little while ago and started accepting trades sent to me by everyone except dark knights. Cause frankly that dude just trades too damn much. Peace y'all

Yeah typically players are done getting better at 24. Nobody ever has developed after that age...
-
Nelson's surplus value is $25-30 with his current salary. Marisnick will NEVER EVER produce that. He's barely ever going to be worth the salary he has now. He was a top prospect three seasons ago in 2012 and hasn't done anything to suggest he'll ever live up to that billing.
-
So in the case on top 50 prospects Marisnik was as high as 35... So why veto that deal..
-
ill just cancel it. How about kick South outta the league too, would that make you guys feel better? Clearly you don't like how he rubs his team so why don't yall just do it for him.
-
This is what the vetoes are in place for. If the league doesn't like a trade, they can veto it. If this conversation never happened, but the trade was vetoed, I'm sure you would understand why. Obviously, people here have already voiced that they will veto the trade. If you plan on vetoing every trade from now on, you'll need 6 other people as well. We're all playing by the same rules.
-
Money was a huge factor in that deal. There was a non-contender making a future move with a contender. If Nelson Cruz was $40, this wouldn't be an issue. But Thunder, you're getting a no doubt keeper for two guys who probably wouldn't warrant spots on most rosters. There are players, there is money, and there's a combination of the two. This deal doesn't make sense from ANY of those angles.
-
I gave a guy who has no shot of winning this year based on his points per game and inning numbers Jorge Soler, Jon Lester and three top 50 fantasy prospects. How is that an awful trade?
