Have you actually looked at Judge's numbers. This is a very fair trade. I'm surprised anyone is calling this one out. I received the best player in the deal and best keeper value. I'm in last place, what am I supposed to do with two players whose salary is too high to keep next year. I maximized their value to me. I should get a thanks instead for remaining competitive and actually attempting to get the maximum return. Ask Chicks if that stung, bet it did. He's putting all in this year.

The loan has to be there. There's no possible way for me to trade Harper or Goldie(to anyone) without giving a loan. That's what the loan setup is here for in Ottoneu. If I'm trading for low cost players, why in the world would I want a high priced player in return. Also, I made it very clear to everyone, I was making a trade for those high priced players. There are only a handful of players, I would consider trading them for. I got tremendous value in return.

Man, are you kidding me! Aaron Judge is the best player in MLB right now. Numero uno! And he's .30(by far the best keeper value in our league). He's better than Harper, then it takes Goldie to offset his keeper price and make up the gap between Judge and Harper. I can't get Judge for just one of those guys. It took both to get him. He was my #1 target(Benintendi was #2 and was not available for trade per McCheese. And that doesn't include getting Beckham and Siroka(first rounders).

Exactly, it's the combination of both that makes the trade unacceptable.

For me it's not the players involved, it's the amount of money being transferred. A few dollars to help offset a price gap or value difference is fine, but we are talking about almost the entire salary of two of the highest priced players in the game. If this trade had little to no money involved, I wouldn't call it foul. Judge is a tremendous value at $3 but all that value is lost with the inclusion of that much money.

100% agreed with Torpedoes. And, I have never vetoed a trade in Ottoneu...until now.

Wow. Pretty clear why the disclaimer warning needed to be sent out before announcing this trade. I know Judge is hot, but COME ON! Dumping two $60+ superstars onto the same (first place) team, along with $117 to pay their salaries?!? This trade represents everything that is wrong with Ottoneu. If this deal does not get effectively vetoed by the COMPETITORS in this league, then why do we have a veto system? I urge every owner in this league to carefully consider what it means to COMPETE!

By the way, it pains me to trade for future. I am a diehard to keep pecking away for that last hope. Unfortunately, my team is not cutting it and it's really the only play that makes sense. I promise, I will show my competiveness for the league by trying to get the best return I can possibly get.

I'm about to make a blockbuster deal. Just want to give all owners a fair chance to make your offers. Harper and Goldie are on the market. Will listen to all offers for all players on my team. Keep in mind, I am looking for a return that will help me in the future.

I have to agree with Hotspurs. He made his intentions very clear using the channels available to him. Donaldson is no bargain at $48, and he received some strong value in return that will serve him well this year and in future years. In a dynasty format, future value is a consideration whether you like it or not. He paid $100 to run his team as he deems fit. I really don't see an issue with this. If you don't like it that Robots improved his team, make a move of your own to counter it.
-
In fact, Torpedo, you sent me an offer earlier where you targeted Seager. You offered me Taijuan Walker and Tyler Glasnow... So don't sit there and tell me what Seager is worth when you've sent offers like that. Hypocrite.
-
I don't need your condescending bullshit. I ran the numbers and double checked my projections. I don't need to explain myself to you people. I believe this makes my team better, end of story. I dealt from a position of strength to fill a weakness. I shopped both players around and this was the best deal that came my way.
-
It's not bitching, he's correct. I agree, worst part about Ottoneu. And you can hang up any chance of a veto. Never seen one in Ottoneu. It will never happen. That's a bad trade. No one should be able to gain a Seager and Donaldson type player for that little of return. Where did you fix your pitching at? Carrasco for the price of Seager and Donaldson. Seager and Donaldson type players are hard to come by. You don't settle for simply good players for top MVP type players.
-
Dumping? I fix my pitching staff, gain a legit power/speed OF, along with another OF with some power upside all by trading from positions of depth. I can still put Story at SS and Machado at 3B. Been screaming for the last two months about wanting to trade these guys for pitching and OF help. You all had your chance. Quit your bitching.
-
As so the dum(b)ping begins... Really guys? Two studs PLUS a loan?!? And for what??? Worst part of Ottoneu, hands down.

Welcome, indeed, to the Four Horsemen, who have already made a positive impact on the League with a sweet team name. It is a pretty active league and a good group, overall. Great to have you aboard!

Hello everyone ,hope this is a active league

Apparently my tablet accepted it as a cut request when I refreshed th browser. If this can't be done, please let me know ASAP, as my team is currently Invalid and I'm going to have to end up cutting someone of importance to rectifying this mistake. Thanks

I made a mistake, I meant to cut Maybin, not Buchholz, can this please be rectified?

So, now that everyone has had a chance to sort through their team and assess needs post-draft, I'm looking to make a move. I'm in the market for an OF with some power/speed that won't kill me in the Avg department. I'm also in need of a closer. I'm still willing to move Donaldson or perhaps Seager.

Thanks, Sluggers! (I wondered how that was going to occur.) I think I got it. Please let me know if you catch any other administrative duties that need tending to.

Nice to have the draft behind us. Torpedoes, you will need to "end" the draft so that we can set rosters and begin making moves. Thanks!
