I was going to be dropping Acuna at the end of the season. He was just too expensive. Now I have some flexibility. If Yordan wakes up I'll be sitting pretty.

That Vlad for Strider switcheroo is panning out, at least right now…
-
Brutal…making me have flashbacks to the Strider news…
-
Whew! It's a good thing H Town rejected my trade offers for Acuna.
-
Yordan just got expensive…. Losing Ronnie oooofffff

The baseball gods said they were tired of seein Ronnie not hustle too…poof…lost a second season to the exploding ACL
-
He’s one hell of a clubhouse guy for the Giants…!
-
All without Yordan ever playing a game for us. Lol!

Giants, you can shorten your name to Awake now...you made it to the top of the standings! 🤣
-
Discussion is good. We all value players differently for different reasons. Keep on trading, y'all... ✌
-
Oh wow! I thought for sure that one was going down. Thanks for all the input everyone.

Alright,Trademageddon has passed…moving along.
-
I was one of the two teams to veto the wheeler trade, and I've approved this Yordan one. I thought the wheeler one was far more egregious personally
But i think its a good example that trades look different to everyone and that's why the veto exists. Get out there and review those trades!
-
The previous trades involving Clase and Wheeler (transparency - involving me) were deals perfectly in line with playing for the future and building your roster. I think this one currently under review may have pushed the envelope a bit with people's expectations.
It is what it is, I think we all know what you are trying to accomplish with the roster. I have to admit, TinderDate made me laugh with the "this deal is ass" comment.
-
I'll just say, and it's in agreement with Brooklyn's advice to Giants, if I'm giving up Yordan +$40, I'd personally want a lot more back than KC and Ford. I think the issue for those with an issue is the top player plus the $40 and the minimal return. The optics are, giving away the player to someone in the Top 3. The premise of the trade is understandable. The execution of the trade is puzzling.
As commish, I'm not lobbying for or against, I'm trying to connect the dots for all
-
Veto this trade or not, I am still going to keep rebuilding for next year
-
Clearly this is a trade with an eye towards next season and not the current. Lets take a look at my team's circumstances: nearly 1/3 of the season done, I'm in last or near last, no hope of getting to top 3 for a payout this year. But wait! Its a dynasty league! Lets not sit on my hands and feel bad about all my high salary players that are getting me nowhere this year. Lets trade them for cheap assets and build for the future. Look at my 2 prior trades with Clase and Wheeler...
-
For those asking, this is straight from the Ottoneu Rules Page...
"After a trade is confirmed, league managers have 24 or 48 hours to review the trade, per league settings. If a majority (50% + 1 vote) of league managers object to the trade, it will not be finalized. This clock begins automatically once both teams have accepted the trade on the site"
So in our case, it's 24 hours to review and it would take 7 veto votes for any trade to be blocked by the leagu
-
Funky makes some very valid points...appreciate your perspective.
Wakey Giants - thanks for supplying your perspective
At the end of the day, everyone in the league can vote on any trade, either to approve or to veto. So, however you feel about the trade (not just this one but all trades) I would encourage everyone to review it and vote your feelings.
-
Oops my bad Awakening I thought you were selling Yordan. Yeah it looks like Dunning is already tapping out for this year.
-
This is my first year playing in a dynasty league. Only my second team ever playing fantasy baseball. I don't know what the norm is.

But I could add that there have been some other recent trades that were one sided.

I have no idea it was presented to me with no message. I actually debated it for a while because I have been getting the same production from Carpenter for a lot less salary. I consulted the only player in the group that I know. Brooklyn Bums. He said I could get more. Lol! My thought was that I was going to be very strapped at the end of the Year. But I'm a Houston guy so I did it. That's my explanation.

I mean Kerry Carpenter is not a scrub but this deal is ass for Dunning.
-
What is really fishy to me is that Harry Ford was just picked up off waivers 2 days ago by awakening for $2 and wasn't even bid on by dunning who just traded for him as the "main piece" in the deal. He had the cap space to easily get him on waivers so not like he really wanted him anyways.
-
Can’t say that I’ve seen one quite like that in a league before…what’s everyone else thinkin?
-
Come on $40 loan for someone like merry carpenter….. what are we doing?

Y’all are going to have to explain that last trade, no reason that shouldn’t be declined by everyone in the league…. That is suspect for sure

“Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue”…

Muncy and Freeman at the corners and Pages roaming the OF. I really am a Bum!
-
Whoever nominated Alek manoah. Please DM me. I have plenty of starting pitching options for you. I don't want to see your team suffer having him on your roster. We can work a deal.
-
That time Mason Miller was the most exciting closer in baseball and I traded him for some guy with a famous name
-
Either Houck or Pages for $3
-
From a value standpoint mine has to be $1 Travis d'Arnaud

Who is your best value so far this year? I think mine is Suarez $3.

I love when you start 4 auctions and only get 1 player...
-
Your lineup is fine but if winning him puts u over the salary cap or if it puts u over the amount of roster spots then your lineup is locked and you won’t be able to make any moves (including trades) until you make a cut

Question: if I win an auction during the middle of the day (like with rojas just there), is my lineup for the day totally invalid? Or can I wait till tomorrow to cut someone?
-
LFG! 😳😳
-
👀👀👀
-
On a more serious note...I wanted to remind everyone about utilizing re-auctions for players you've already dropped this season to either (a) cut the cap penalty in half, or (b) have someone take the player and the salary off of your books for you.
Just a general statement as I see there are a few teams that could take advantage of this and wanted to make sure that managers from last year remembered that rule and also for the newcomers so that they knew as well.
-
…waiting on Acuna…
😇
-
I guess Melonhead has some new found wealth as well. I really wasn't expecting to see big names dropped like that in this type of league. Maybe I'll l have to see how bad people want Acuna. Lol

Crow cleared up a lot of space just in time! Should be able to out bid everyone for Arenado too.

Vlad for 23 dollars
-
I cannot WAIT to have a reason to cut Vladdy Jr
-
Waiting for the drop(s) that will be required for anyone to keep him and definitely appreciating the additional $22 in cap space I’m about to get.
-
Who is participating in the Strider Sweepstakes? Let's all make an agreement that we will not bid over $29 does that work?

Is 7 pitchers on the DL a bad thing?
