If anybody would like to send an offer for Verdugo, I am looking to make a deal.
-
Hello all! Thanks for having me. I’ve updated my Trade Block. I don’t really have any “untouchables”, but there are guys who will cost you. Make me offers!

I just added the second new owner to Lab Rats and we are full again! Welcome guys.
-
Hey everyone, happy to be here! Just wanted to let you all know I’m open for business and pretty much anyone on my roster is available so feel free to reach out or send any offers!
-
I have posted the team openings in the forum.
-
post it on the forum
-
Also, we now have two open teams needing owners if you know of anyone: Flying Squirrels and Manfreds Lab Rats
-
Now that that the trade has gone thru and opinions heard I've been swayed and wouldn't have hit the veto if I had waited to think on it. Offseason trades have a different balance that those tight deadline trades.
-
Winnetka, I had already hit Veto and couldn't go back and undue the veto on the page in the system thats all. (although I could have thru the commish tools I suppose in the end)
-
Best of luck LAb Rats, be safe out there.
-
Hey everyone this is probably a good as time as any to let y’all know that I don’t plan to play in this league in 2021. I wanted to make sure of it and get through arb before deciding and I’m now sure. Thank you all for a good season last year and I’m sure you’ll find a replacement easily given how I’m leaving the team now.

The only standards of voting on trades are what the owner deems appropriate. The threshold for a trade to be cancelled is so high that each person should vote how they see fit.
-
Moose, what do you mean by “It’s too late to take back my veto”. In addition, when did we vote to change the standards of voting on trades?

And Rake, let’s be realistic... I count 7 players on your roster who are definite keepers at their salaries. I like my team’s chances a lot more than yours for 2021. No offense intended. I don’t doubt you have a plan. But just based on our rosters, I see more to like on my team right now than yours. Trust me to handle my team. I have won plenty of titles over the years. It will be fine.
-
I plan to trade or cut at least 5 prospects. And I see a few of my prospects as major league ready.
-
Who is tanking? I’ll bet you a beer I finish no lower than 5th. My team will be fine.
-
its the fact that you have 11 prospects already and traded away 2 of the few surplus producers you have. playing with a tanking team is not fun
-
I could be wrong and maybe I over-reacted. They are both top 50 prospects I grant that, and each to his own. the Value balance for 2021 and even 2022 just doesn't work for me. It's too late to take back my Veto . At least we're getting in some Hot Stove Heat in November. ;)
-
Rake, if you look at our trade, is this much different? Rotowire has Martin as the 11th ranked prospect Gonzalez the 26th. Adell and Pearson were ranked high last year at this time were not impressive at all in their MLB debuts. Keep in mind Stanton has played 41/222 games the past two years.

In regards to this trade, I hate it for Saratoga, but with a roster approaching $600, I don't know how much of a difference this trade makes for Winnetka. Could be wrong, but I don't think I'll veto.
-
Woof. Whit for Asa/Hancock? I don't know man...
-
I screwed up, I traded Whit Merrifield $18 for Lacey and Hancock both are 56% and 30% owned and higher salaries than Gonzalez and Martin.

Btw, in one of my other leagues I just trade Nola ($26) for Lacey ($6) and Hancock ($5). I'm curious if you guys would have a problem with that trade.

I've been Gonzalez from day one and went somewhat aggressively in all four of my leagues, Spa City sees that as well. Watch some film, Gonzalez is a hitting machine. If anyone cares to wager on who has a better ppg between Witt and Gonzalez I'll take Gonzalez.

Giancarlo has played 41/222 games the past two years. How valuable is that? Regarding the prospects, I suggest do some self scouting. Gonzalez is a future star at a skill position. He even raked in the Cape Cod league where home runs are hard to come by. Top draft picks less than a year out are way under valued. By the end of the year both of these guys will be top ten prospects.

No offense taken. But for you veto guys - if Urias and Stanton are so valuable, why no offers from you? It seems like you are just using veto to prevent me from making trades. Meanwhile I get no offers or counter offers from most of you. Not a problem worth fighting over. But it seems weird for you to complain about me not getting enough in a trade when you know you would not have offered me more.
-
Have to agree with Rake here on the trade, too much talent to give for Martin (75% owned) and Gonzalez (25%) owned. Both of which are too far away from the bigs to have value this coming season (or even 2022 with arb hike value likely). Urias and Giancarlo are two top producers at reasonable if not cheap cost control and each could command much more individually even. Way off balance IMO, sry guys but I had to cast a veto vote.
-
All teams other than Fl. Sq. did arb. I will post a msg on the board soon to find a replacement. If anyone knows someone, lets make it happen.
-
this is an atrocious trade, a team with tons of prospects who is way under the cap, gets 2 more no name prospects by trading away 2 value producing vets
-
could be worse, my other league had 4 teams not do arb
-
Do Ryan/Ventura and PTBNL plan on doing arbitration? Ryan/Ventura wasn't very active this year, so if he doesn't plan on staying, we need to know.
-
Ok all, I've taken over as Commish now so any thing that needs addressed let me know. Make sure you spread and spend all the Arb $$ appropriately and (*pro tip: don't forget to scroll down and hit save on each team page) have a great off season and lets hope for a full MLB 2021.
-
I can take on Commishing this league . .. NP. Best Coast Rules!
-
Moose, if you are willing to take the commish job, it is yours if everyone else is cool with it.
-
Best wishes and be well Squirrels. I would volunteer to be a co-commisioner, or The commish if needed.
-
Hey all! I am sorry to say that I am going to be bowing out of this league. I just don't have the time and need to cut back on how many fantasy teams I am doing so I have a chance to actually keep up with one. Hopefully either Winnetka can fully take over as commish or someone else is willing to help him. Thanks for a great couple of years guys and good luck in the future!
-
"Those Lab Rats sure learned fast. . . " Congratz on the close finish to take the 2020 Title!
-
Congrats Lab Rats!
-
Thanks WT, I was at Kings Island all day with the family checking the score off and on, it certainly did come down to the end. It was a fun season!

I think it is pretty safe to say Congrats MLR, it was well earned. Not often does the championship go down to the last hour of the season.

I have Abreu today & then I can't get any more points, hit all the maxes! Makes lineups easy - great sprint season though.
-
I’m still in this race! I just need a really big finish.
-
Looks like this one is going to come down to the wire.
-
Yadi's going to catch up to me I think because I'm running out of position starts!
-
Yadier beat me by 12.6 points in 2014.

these teams are 600 points ahead of the leader in my other league
-
Close race for the title!
-
Saturday and Sunday combined 5.6 points in the lineup for me.
