So far though, there isnt enough base to keep the shiny sprinkles around...if I can get a fair offer. There are a few of you that are loaded though, and need to make expensive veteran additions, in order to beat each other out.

Correct. Someone decided to shaft you guys and abandon his team. Im just trying to point it in a direction I would prefer to go. That starts with a cost controlled base, with expensive Vets sprinkled on top.

I know, it is what makes this league fun. You got screwed because you missed the draft; I don't hold this decision against you. This is only our second year, so our first encountering this. It's a borderline veto for me, honestly.
-
...and worry about who he cant afford or keep next year. We both know this is a common dilemna in pro sports every year. Load up and go for it? Or save for the future? Its a decision made each year, by every GM.

I hear you, and I know you know what youre talking about. In fact, you and I prefer to build teams the exact same way...which might be why we keep running into each other. Personally though, I think you need to let a guy make a run this year...

I understand the trade on both sides, but you have a $45 Votto going to someone who has $26 in cap space, making his roster $419 with money to spend on free agency. Without the money, he can re-arrange cap space and idc... I'm done arguing. It's whatever
-
That's right. If people think it's fair that's fine. You asked for Matt Harvey, Byron Buxton and Addison Russell though. That's the #1 prospect, the #1 pitcher (preTJS) MORE than you're getting now.. You dont lose in this trade, but everyone else does.
-
I guess its only fair for Van Buren Boys to build through young players and prospects though. No one else should have the ability to add young players through trades?

Everyone has the right to try and win, or rebuild...and since there is no incentive for anyone to cheat, there is no reason for me to veto anything. Each man is welcome to his own opinion though. Thats why it is setup for the majority to decide.

I made you a similar offer, and you replied with some snide remarks, and a diatribe about how it was disrespectful. Everyone has their own opinions, and valuations, which is why i would never consider vetoing anything.

I voted to veto a trade for the first time in here. I don't like vetoing but this one is too lopsided. The money makes it unfair imo. I understand why you're doing it BC, cause you can't win this year, but WSB get's Votto when he can't afford Votto.

From last to first!! I am going to keep the lead the whole season... What up!!
-
As a new franchise owner, my first order of business is to convert my team from sporting baseball caps to wearing Urban Sombreros.
-
Since he hasn't answered, I will abandon him and the team should show up.
-
I know someone who will take over Grand Salami's team. Maybe someone already has, but that person hasn't filled out his roster. I sent WC a message about replacing GS but he hasn't responded. Can we boot GS for my friend?
-
It looks like someone has picked up the team. I have sent him a message late last night, and he has not yet responded. Hopefully, he will today.
-
What happens if no one picks up his team?
-
Grand Salami has missed his deadlines to renew and has been abandoned. HOpefully, a new owner will step forward.

...participating in any auctions or waiver claims. I got bad instructions...I guess. I am very happy to have you in the league...12 active teams is all we hope for.
-
Sorry if my post came off accusatory, I certainly didn't mean to come off that way. I am familiar with the rules, I have taken over two abandoned teams in other leagues. I was told in those instances that my free round of cuts had to come before....

We are all pretty laid back in here. I don't think anyone is will complain and TAJ was probably more concerned about a systematic glitch. I'm glad you're willing to take over a crappy team! haha Thanks for playing!
-
Any additional cuts (ones I make now) will result in the same penalty. Its a concession made, as an incentive to have people take over abandoned teams, as not to have leagues with dead spots

Bc I did not draft this team. I took it over after someone abandoned it. That allows me one free round of cuts, at no penalty...but thanks for asking

for the rest of the season. This penalty has been levied against a few of us already....not sure why it has counted against Brew Crew.
-
Just wondering why Brew Crew has not accrued any cap penalties for cutting players he/she has won in an auction. The 24 hr waiver period is over. After the keeper deadline, any player cut has half his salary (rounded up) count against your salary cap...
-
I wish I were as confident in my team as you are....
-
Paranoid Android's team is ridiculous. He's gonna repeat. I should have kept Strasburg or bought him back at least.
-
I trust my proxy....no need to delay for me....whatever you guys decide is fine with me.
-
Just took over this team. Looks like I missed the draft. Will be nominating some players, and will try t make a go at building the team up.
