Also I forced a name change and you never know how that's going to affect a squad.
-
My calculus was trade while lots of folks are competitive per Lamb's last comment. I updated my trade block and asked several owners with assets I liked if they were interested. This just happened to be the deal i preferred. I can totally understand folks not liking it, my calculus is verlander is a borderline keep, votto is a cut now, benitendi borderline keep for next year and elias is just a throw in for innings. Sanchez is a $40 dollar player, Mccullers could be a $20 guy, and joc who knows?
-
It's all individual strategy and very league/team dependent. In some leagues 1-2 teams are far ahead so they have all the trading power since no one else sees the point in moving future assets. In other leagues (like ours) there are 7-8 competitive teams, so arguably a good position to start selling if you don't think your team will compete. You can wait, but standings shift, players get hurt, etc. and all of the sudden you lose your window to sell for premium pieces.
-
To each their own but it's not even June, selling for next year is a bit brazen
-
Agree with Put it in the Books - this is the intent of mid season trades. I wouldn't say it was a great or balanced trade from my personal perspective, but it all depends on individual views of the players by the teams trading. Unless there is collusion seems fairly normal
-
When teams look to sell in FGPTS leagues they try and move larger contracts for controllable priced assets. And teams looking to buy use roster surplus to get higher priced assets in order to contend in a given year. This deal is par for this format
-
If that trade is for real it’s a joke.. I want my money back
-
Would love to hear a reasonable explanation of that trade...

Reminder to everyone: You can see the 10MiLB rosters in the Restricted Players page which is in the sub header on this page (some team names have changed so if you have questions holler). Also when you are looking to make trades make sure to read the comments of the trade proposal as that is where any 10MiLB involvement will be disclosed. Hope people are enjoying the season even if some of your players are giving up too many dingers or are injured

Also thank you for the forgiveness on my fat fingers
-
Can we talk about the name Skye Bolt?
-
im putting a claim in on cole tucker so i object. ;)
-
I wouldn't object to this. We all make honest mistakes and Real Eloy pointed this one out very quickly.
-
Hey commish, I did not mean to cut Cole Tucker...didn't see he was checked would you mind adding him back to my squad if possible?

Hey everyone, Drew and I are looking to make some deals. We have some interesting pieces and no one is off limits. If you're interested in anyone on our team, let us know and we will send you a list of players we like on your team and we can work something out. Otherwise just feel free to hit us up with off the cuff trade offers - that's what we've been doing - and we'll go from there. If you have an outstanding offer from us be warned....Look forward to chatting via otto message or slack!
-
Sanchez I traded Cash for him plus took on his salary
-
beat me to the message board!
-
If you are already capped out with salary dropping a $1 player would put your squad in an invalid state so a trade like that circumvents it. i prob sent out about 4-5 offers to teams who had open roster slots so in theory it would be first to accept would just get him. but there is nothing wrong with posting a msg on the board or trade block and choosing a team that way.
-
Yes, you can advertise it or you can reach out to owners individually. Generally, try to look at rosters and see where an owner may have a need and/or cap space and then message them. But you can handle it however you'd like. It doesn't typically happen for expensive players, but it can!
-
OK, got it. No problem. I hadn’t really seen that before, and vaguely remembered that happening with Sanchez. I get the concept that you would only drop someone if you know their salary will be taken up immediately. How do you decide who to offer a player to? If I wanted to give a player (and salary) away, could I advertise it and then choose who I want to give him to? Is that allowed? Thx
-
Its a commonly used strategy in Ottoneu to open up roster slot(s) or money. A similar trade was done for Aaron Sanchez in this league.
-
Am I the only one confused by this Rowdy Tellez trade? It looks like a player giveaway. Is that allowed?

Drinking and cutting is worse
-
I mean I might as well, most of my pitchers drink before their starts
-
Drew doesnt know what he's talking about...always drink and nom, Taters. Always.
-
Never drink and nom, Taters. Never.
-
Oh I guess it didn't, nevermind. I had too many drinks when I added you originally, good riddens Fat Albers,
-
I didnt realize that would put me illegal, can I reverse that Albers cut
