I'm offering Gary Sanchez and Tim Anderson for the best SP pitcher available. If interested message me or make offer! Thanks!
-
I didn't notice the $15 loan until after I accepted. That's nobody's fault but my own though so I know I need to wear it on that one.
-
I think the trade is fine fwiw, just thought the extra cap space was a nice gift/perk thrown in. But I'm pretty easy-going with trades, 2 consenting (I presume) adults and all. Doesn't mean I don't think someone isn't getting fleeced on occasion, but that's their problem.

The price is so steep that I can't imagine a mere mortal could ever reach it. And it goes up with each walk-off homer.

Who you want for Tebow?

Adam Jones hasn't been bad either really has he? 391 fantasy points. and a prospect.
-
I didn't think it was that bad. Puk is getting Big Unit comps (though I'm an A's fan and could be biased). But whatever you guys decide is fine.
-
That being said, did seem like a nice gift since he's taking Jones on anyway whom I presume he won't keep for next year.

You are not, NCTB is paying Cruz's salary this year. It'll give Oaks some wiggle room on waivers and other trades. Got a good prospect though in the deal and actually rather common in trades...at least paying part of the salary.

Question re the Oaks--NCTB 5000 trade. So Cruz is being traded along with his full salary value ($15)? In effect, he's being traded at zero value? Am i missing something?

Once I had Quintana in this league, I knew I needed to act and get him on the real cubs.

Verlander is available. Probably fairly cheap. It might even be salary dump-ish.

It feel like months, dammit. Maybe i'm just prickly because the Cubs forgot how to play baseball and time is crawling.

Sorry, Pinochle, I was vacationing and just kind of checking my lineup. I didn't feel like I was gone weeks, but maybe I was.

Well I can't figure out Jum Hendry who won't even respond to trade offers. Been sitting there for weeks.

The 2017 Cubs absolutely suck at baseball.

Cueto and Shark available for young prospects. Punting on another year.
-
Difference of opinion. Any owner who bids on Tebow is welcome in any money league I play in. :)
-
Hahahahah! I wanted to say that but i'm not the commish haha
-
Whoever started that Tebow auction is banned from the league :)

Bumgarner, Cole, Santana all available. King Felix also if you want to take a shot on him recovering in 2nd half.

Also looking for SP help. I'm kind of flush with 1B/OF types on the ML roster, and more than happy to move prospects as well.
-
You're doing just fine without any help :)

Would also be willing to move prospects for good SP (and maybe SS and C help). From CGT's link, have 2 (Robles), 16 (Torres), 18 (Mejia), and 20 (Meadows). Trying to stop the three-peat!

I tried to trade for Darvish a week ago and offered 3 top 100 prospects and was rejected. The response was "I'm planning on keeping Darvish." Seems odd.
-
...and I have no issues with lobbying either. So if you really think a deal is unfair in the future, feel free to voice it as you did and we'll see if enough people agree with you.

I have one deal out there that's been sitting for weeks now, I've had it happen many times before. I stop offering after awhile and then just deal with those that will engage. That all being said, I'll veto the deal for now, don't want anyone feeling like the league isn't fair, but the veto trade option is there for such things so don't change your mind after the fact. Next time this happens we should just let that play its course.

A few things...we all value players differently and group think is always behind the curve. Trade blocks aren't always updated. Let's not get into name calling. We didn't talk about the deal, it showed up, I accepted as anyone would. I know JD/Jum from fantasy leagues and a Cubs blog, he just likes trading. It's not anyone duty to shop their deals to everyone. A lot of people can be a pain in the ass to deal with or don't answer their emails and you just stop trying...1/

Also look at trade block. No indication by Jum that he was shopping players. No indication by CGT that Arcia was on the block - presumably not even worthy of a mention.

Look at ownership and average salaries of McMahon and Arcia. Very low. Clearly not considered top prospects in Ottoneu universe and no way reasonable return for Lindor and Darvish who are both top producers, and at least one of which is a young stud in his own right. Easy veto for me.

If Rob does that, then you guys know who's on the market. My bad.

Hey, I don't want there to be sour grapes. If you guys are really against and Rob is, too, then it's alright with me if he just wants to commish veto it right now. I don't want there to be hard feelings.

Rob......I think you are in a tough spot as League Commissioner. In addition to the diverse opinions on the players involved in the trade, comments by several managers---and more importantly by you and Jum---expose the inequity of the trade.
I foolishly approved it, knowing it looked very peculiar. My mistake. I think the trade should be cancelled, and re-engineered to reflect the players you all thought you meant to include (Zobrist, Albies, etc). That seems a reasonable alternative now...
-
Jum may say it's "not up to [him] to figure out how to trade you my players" - but it is, apparently, up to him to torpedo the credibility and integrity of the league. I'm happy now to move all my prospects for win-now players and will sell to the highest bidder. Thanks.
