Agreed that no changes should be made mid-season. I don't think there should be any hard limit on trades either, but if people are interested i know some leagues have a min salary cap enforced for each team (ex: no team can have a cap below $350) which limits the ability to do massive loans. I've heard it works well, so I wouldn't be opposed in future seasons but it isn't something I feel strongly about.

I’m mostly just bitching because it jake and it birches about everything I do. I completely agree with Doug, but I vote for whatever Kenny decides because he is smarter than all of us.
-
Amen to that

Evening Gents--My take as someone that *excels* at making DumbFuckTrades, unless it just seems so obvious there is collusion (and how is that a thing in April?) anything is worth whatever some other rube like myself is willing to pay for it, so I am not sure why everyone gets so hot about an 'unfair' trade. Some trades are good, most of mine suck, but if two paid members agree I don't see any 'unfairness'. Time for a cocktail--have a good weekend everyone.

It freaking snowed in Boston today and I am stuck inside for day 390 something...rabble rabble rabble

I’m not certain this one sucked that badly where it should have created this firestorm.

I would not change a thing in season for sure - Veto system is in place and if majority dont object so be it. Some trade are just bad based on facts today. Sure no one knows the future absolutely there can be trades that just suck and should be called out
-
Go look up the recent trades for Yordan in his ottoneu profile and you’ll see a way worse one
-
I think it’s also bad form to use the message board to call each other out for bad deals because we’ve all shown for multiple years at this point that we are all active owners who try to make informed decisions right or wrong. Sometimes bad ones — this coming from the guy who traded three players for drew smyly this week.
-
While I wouldn’t be opposed to the below if we all agree on it I favor keeping the rules as they are and just moving forward. We can use the normal veto process and veto deals if we think it’s right thing to do. Personally I think you have to let trades play out because it’s part of fantasy baseball unless you see something really egregious. Would rather make sure we reserve vetos for really extreme situations.
-
Also, for full clarity, I declined a 1 for 1 offer of Kelenic for Yordan. So maybe I value prospects too highly myself.

I can tell you plenty of owners do not see this as an egregious trade...

Say moving forward max loan for a trade is $40 or $35 or $20 or $15

Why don’t we put a cap on loans?

Since this now seems to be a recurring issue, maybe we try a new policy? I'm thinking, if multiple managers contest a trade, then all managers must vote on whether or not to veto, no abstaining. I'm just thinking we'd probably all be happier if things were done democratically and knowing that all managers had weighed in. Or maybe someone else has a better idea.

John Means is the definition of a free player. Dude’s FIP will be over 5 by next Friday.

straight up for Yordan I don't blink...but then there are the 2 players for free
-
i did veto it
-
Veto it. As the entire league was going to do with your trade, you didn’t need to cancel it.
PICKLE DICK on

Better cancel it.
-
Definitely not as bad but still very awful. Ottoneu isn't dynasty, so prospects aren't worth all that much. Yordan is worth more in keeper value alone.

Yordan alone is too much for those guys at $18.

Literally no one is going to agree with that.

That trade is WAY WORSE than mine!!!

Trade is cancelled
-
Kenny presented a good point, unlike some others. I will get the trade cancelled unless there are objections.
-
Unfortunately, trading the 2 best pitchers in the last decade for the best prospect in the last decade because you think they may come unglued does not seem to be a sure enough thing for most teams to swallow.

What is exactly your complaint?
-
You can spend your $100 however you want...but if it’s going to fold the league or at the very least question how we move forward, someone needs to step in and ask some questions.

Did I say my guys are trash Kenny?
-
its pretty disingenuous 4 days into the season to act like players that just went for 30% of the team budgets are trash. If this is the state of things all good...just not worth my time investment going forward
-
In your opinion jake, but please let me know who I should go after and what strategy I should use to enjoy my $100 buyin and what else I should do for never finishing worse than 4th in this league. I’m wide open on ideas on what to do in a rebuild besides getting one of the top prospects in the last decade, a pitcher that is making an impact now at $4, another at $3 and a $9 bat that I value at 6p/pg
-
While I understand the logic of wanting to give up assets to acquire the players you want the most, this is one of the most lopsided instances of that I’ve ever seen...

Go ahead and cancel the trade since you all know better than me how good those guys are I want and how unlikely it is for max to get hurt at age 98, Iglesias to not suck all of a sudden.
-
First of all, I don’t even know who the guy is a trade with so I’m not sure if you are implying collusion and second in selling these old pitchers before their arms fall of and I don’t get a chance at wander. Also, I have been in rebuild mode since the middle of last year so why should I wait around to get guys I want?
-
Seems to be the consensus...we are a week in to the season, seems aggressive to accept a trade with “happy ass kicking”.

That trade is broken...if this is what we are doing I am just playing out the hand here and hanging them up

Adding Castillo to the block if anyone needs pitching...

No major restrictions but strongly prefer a March draft.
