Anybody want Joey Wendle for cash? LMK.
-
But we did agree on a smaller deal and the way to make it work was to accept the larger deal and then flip the two big players (JD and Trea) back to their original teams. I hope this made sense and am sending this so everyone knows what was going on. All will settle properly in short order. If you have questions or would like to discuss further please do so here, or DM me, or call / text me, etc.

Wanted to give everyone the heads up that tomorrow IfYouAintFirst and Clown Prince (me) will trade JD Martinez and Trea Turner back to their original teams. It's an unusual circumstance. At the time we did this deal my team access was frozen as my roster is out of regulation until my trades clear. We had a pending trade offer between us that we could not agree upon. Continued...

A little 2020 planning...looking for feedback on Sun Mar 15 6p central or Sun Mar 22 6p central for our draft. Please let me know if you could make either date and also if you have a preference between the two. Thx in advance, always like to get the date locked in early.

somebody cut Skaggs in one of the other leagues..just wrong..

It's a cut throat league with hard decisions to make. It came down to production and he just wasn't cutting it.

Dude catches a concussion and busted nose playing hardcore baseball...his rewards, the Sleepers just cut him despite his league minimum salary. Harsh!

This is a PSA to Paul Ryan. Is he still here!?
-
The terrible trade part is just my personal opinion. My team sucks so what do I know, really. I’m going to contemplate about that.
-
just now reading this. I agree with trynottosuck. No collusion. Just a terrible trade that I personally vetoed. If it goes thru, then fine. Casey is always trying to get the big loan. How is this a surprise?
-
The Blum Report. No collusion!!! Play Ball!
-
Thank you, but I believe a veto is only to be used in instances of collusion. We should respect the other owners decisions on what they feel is best for their teams. We didn’t have a discussion when Clown got Degrom for Muncy and Laurano, nor should we have as both owners thought they improved

Casey, a veto (for me) does not mean collusion & is not a personal attack. It means I don’t think a trade is fair. They can be mutually exclusive. I have done it before. I would hate to see you leave the league because you are fun, engaged and will negotiate with the best of them. But I will never change the way I feel about or make decisions on proposed trades. I hope that no matter what happens you will reconsider and be back in 2020.
-
A suggestion of collusion is not part of this conversation. I am 100% confident that is not the case. And am confident the league owners feel the same way. This discussion is about a bold, potentially difficult to evaluate trade that generated competitive balance concern in the league. So we are talking about it. Casey, you are a good active owner, we know and respect that. A reminder to everyone, this is a new format for most or all of us - we are still learning.

I think it is very safe to say Castillo is >>> Wheeler. And if Wheeler could potentially get any of mondesi, yates, bregman and trout then my deal is a steal for Chris. If you there was collusion, then I would hope it got Vetoed, however that is not the case here. If you veto it, I will step out of the league at the end of the year as there is no sense me being in this league if you think I am a cheater. Thank you

Sale and Blackmon are obviously great players, but there is a 0% chance I can keep them past this season. Votto will be cut minutes after the trade is executed. I think you all know the importance of cheap contracts especially for pitchers. I will use Clown Prince as an example since I respect your valuation process and have a great team. I asked about Wheeler, and his response was "I have interest in mondesi, yates, bregman and trout. $5 pitcher like wheeler though, you know"

Diaz is very valuable especially at his $1 price tag. Rays are one of the smartest organization in baseball and they wouldnt trade away a good prospect for Diaz for no reason. He has always been one of the hardest hitters in baseball, his launch angle just needed a tweak. Mountcastle was BP's #26 prospect going into the season and has done nothing but hit so far this year. Reynolds has a 1st round pedigree and flew through the minors, another great value at $1.

Thank you for reaching out and for your concern. Obviously its always a concern when the two people trading are brothers, but if you know either of us we dont "give" anything away to each other just for the sake of being brothers. If it doesnt help my team I wouldnt trade with him and vice versa. I do not have any interest in adding to my offer. Pretty much everyone in the league has tried to get Castillo from me, as you all should since he is on a CY Young pace and only $12. ...

And a reminder, we are all here to have fun. We have owners of varying experience and are only in our second year with each other. Trade debates pop up from time to time, it's all in how we handle the discussion.

My general approach is to let the deals roll and not engage. Unless there is significant concern expressed in the league and / or the potential to unreasonably impact the leagues competitive balance. So, here we are. We have the veto / approve vote function that can be used. You can also voice your thoughts here. Constructive discussion is welcomed as is keeping our league open and transparent.

I am letting the group know that I have received several notes of concern regarding today's trade between Casey and Chris. Specifically, that the owners I heard from felt the deal was not reasonably balanced. I learned a long time ago that it is difficult to evaluate trades, particularly in dynasty, at the time the trade is made. So many factors to consider. continued...
