Trading for young talent is what I love about a keeper league. If you have a young stud I would be interested.

My initial reaction was based on the fact that I'm lower than you in the standings!! I stink and you don't!! I think leaving would really undermine the moves you've made which by all accounts are legal so I would hope you'll stay and hopefully finish below me.
-
I would like you all to remember one thing, I started this about 200 players behind the rest of the league and I am not last. If loans were not to be used they would not be legal . If the majority of you think I am bad for the league say so and I will leave.
-
My team stinks so far and maybe it's a better idea to purge after two weeks but I'm not at all a fan of what's happening in this league. Players for players are fine but I don't love the loan part. Just my opinion.

Guys, how could I be tanking when in these leagues there is no advantage to tanking plus I am 11th now so how can I get much worse. As for drafting a descent team I am good ,what can I say. The only way to move Bellinger and get a descent return was to basically pay for someone to take him
-
I can see the issue with timing. 10 days into the season is very early to go all Marlins on the league. That said, I don't think the trade was unfair (nor worse, done through some collusion). It was a market-based transaction where two owners made a decision that they each saw as fair given their competitive timelines. NB probably has two long term assets, SFB has one year of Bellinger. You could dispute the loan amount, but to what end? Was $30 ok? $20? $10? Seems like splitting hairs.

If there's no loan, there's literally no benefit for me at all. I'd have to drop $36 worth of players. (Sure, I asked for a whole whopping $4 extra than what I actually needed, granted.) The whole point is that I trade future resources for current ones, and vice versa for him. That is in the best interest of both teams. It's not "silly" that the manager who is a year behind everyone else (and did not get the benefit from a single low-cost keeper) is prioritizing future seasons over thi

Totally agree those factors all definitely matter--and rightfully so. If they're removed, what benefit is left for me here? I'm mortgaging my future, so I'd better get quality value for this year back. Further, 6 months of Bellinger is worth less than 4 months of him. His value as a rental depreciates with games played, making him less likely to get better return in a trade. And if Vlad gets voted off? Well that just means he gets to keep the player who *would have* been voted off instead.

Yeah I’m not a fan of the loan aspect. I think it’s a little silly to be tanking 10 days into the season esp after NB drafted a decent team.

My quibble with the trade is mostly the timing, but also the loan size: It's not even mid-April! NB might have gotten better offers when the season picks up. Also, cap relief + $1 Bellinger kinda distorts his auction price, and if Vlad Jr. truly breaks out at $3, NB will just lose him to the vote-off arb... (I'm only speaking as an owner here and not comm'r)

Thank you

FWIW, I think the trade is fine. I can see both sides of it.

Look I started with nothing and if I want to build up I had to make a tough decision. I am not going to be able to keep Bellinger at $41 and this is the only offer I got to hopefully improve for the future
-
I mean, that's one way to look at it. Alternatively, it's a 1-year rental of a second year player still not out of his late season slump for the number 3 and number 11 fantasy prospects (according to Fangraphs) at nothing prices. (Number 2 and number 10, if we remove Ohtani.)
