  Dan's Deli on July 12, 2024 9:20 AM

• Sure if you take it out of context, I'm starting to think that you like to distort things and words, seems unfair unless you have extra SS and love what Pages did in the minors and his start in MLB, I would do it again with my eyes closed

• Everyone in the league has some good pieces for a winning roster and it’s still very early in the season – – everyone has a chance and let’s just play ball and enjoy the battle. Would hate to see anyone leave over a less than earth shaking trade.

  JLo(we) and the Band of Brandons on May 7, 2024 12:18 AM

• Let’s take a collective chill pill fellas — it’s fantasy BB (and I stress “fantasy”) and we’re just trying to have some competitive fun enjoying the game we all love. We all try to rip-off each other in trades and curse at trades others pull off and we can’t — it’s part of the fun. If Papi wants to devote his life to a 1,000 leagues, God bless him and I applaud his insanity! And if Salmon is shrewd enough to maximize his roster and pull out another trophy, God bless him too!

• it costs me time and money to set up and host the draft on couch managers to accommodate the league. to imply im going to do that and then spend all year setting my lineup to give ottoneu 25% of the pot and hope to win $600 and then split that with my comanager and whoever else im colluding with is really insulting. if anyone else has any issues feel free to message me directly, i'm not going to entertain anymore of this collusion bs from fly or fry.

• I just vetoed it myself, so shut up

  AKA Big Papi on May 6, 2024 10:50 PM

• in this trade 3) Pages - Baez for Volpe and Stroman, I agree net advantage to Salmon but I had to let go somme SS (had 9), so might as well go get a guy that's hot and promised to a bright future. But no, you two guys see conspiracy base on one trade (never mind 1) and 2)). Won't be back next year in this league, don't have any time to lose with guys that believe I'm a cheater. You really have too much time on your hands.

  AKA Big Papi on May 6, 2024 10:49 PM

• You guys are full of it, you think you are THE guys in this league, we only heard from you two up to now. You base your judgment on three trades that happened with Salmon to say I'm a loser, a double crosser, a cheater, that I spend my money to grab the Ottoneu lottery, well as far as I'm concerned, didn't make much $$ since I'm in Ottoneu and I'm none of those bad guys, simple coincidence. 1) A guy sells me a player I like for 6-7$, why souldn't I jump on that 2) trade Bieber - Volpe + 7$

  AKA Big Papi on May 6, 2024 10:45 PM

• Fry guys lined it out nicely with facts and causes for concerns, which I think are valid. I certainly hope this is all just a strange coincidence and questionable decision making, but there's a lot to suggest it could be more than that.

  Fly the W on May 6, 2024 8:48 PM

• Salmon, I think you're full of it personally, but I also know from experience, you try to rip people off. This trade to me seems suspicious, but I have no proof. I will veto it and see where the cards fall for now. While I agree that it doesn't matter how many leagues someone is in, spending 10K in one year is strange, especially when you don't appear to winning many of the leagues.

  Fly the W on May 6, 2024 8:46 PM

• So now there have been 4 trades in this league since the start of the season, and 3 of them between Salmon and Papi, all of which have appeared unbalanced toward Salmon at the time of the trade. Maybe Salmon is just that skilled or maybe Papi is just that desperate for the next prospect. All I know is that trades are usually like pulling teeth in a fantasy league, and mostly don’t get done, or come at greater pain than originally planned. This all seems way too convenient.

  🍟 FryGuys 🍟 on May 6, 2024 8:42 PM

• overpay), more likely an Oswaldo Cabrera gets it done. Certainly didn’t think Volpe, Papi just got Volpe and must really like him to have traded Bieber and 7$.
  
  Can’t see how a 2 week hot streak for Pages nets Volpe, Stroman and taking on Baez for another $1 of budget relief. Completely lets Salmon off-the-hook for an earlier trade that went bad and gives him more budget to work with. Essentially 3 for 1 for a guy that was just won at auction 2 weeks ago?

  🍟 FryGuys 🍟 on May 6, 2024 8:23 PM

• Que the message about Pages being available for a SS, Salmon is a bit desperate to fill out SS on his roster, so maybe a fair deal or even no deal will materialize. I was even considering making an offer for Pages, but was thinking Grissom would be a fair exchange. Decided against it since I prefer Grissom, but hey that’s my evaluation. However, my antennae went up and I instantly assumed Papi would trade a SS to Salmon. Looking over his roster, I figured maybe Kim (though that seemed like an

  🍟 FryGuys 🍟 on May 6, 2024 8:23 PM

• with Papi loving the prospects at seemingly all costs, so sure, why not.
  
  Of course we all know Bieber is out for the year and that Volpe has made some swing changes and looked like a stud for most of April. While he has cooled off in the past couple of weeks he is still ranked as a top 75 player ROS by FantasyPros. So great, Papi made out on this trade and looks like he has a stud SS in Volpe.

  🍟 FryGuys 🍟 on May 6, 2024 8:22 PM

• Then, 5 hours later, Salmon trades Drew Thorpe to Papi for $6 (no players in return). This was the first time I even knew it was possible to do this in Ottoneu. Thorpe was the very last pick of the draft and now Salmon gets an extra $6 in budget for him? Brilliant move again for Salmon. However, this is where my antennae goes up…was this all worked out prior to the draft, and the reason why Salmon knew he could spend every last dollar? Probably, but while it didn’t seem fair at all, it is in-lin

  🍟 FryGuys 🍟 on May 6, 2024 8:22 PM

• Then I remembered that there was the message prior to the draft that Volpe was available for SP help. So, just as the season is starting Volpe gets traded for Bieber (plus an extra $7 from Papi). With most analysts claiming Bieber looks like an ace again with his increased velocity and Volpe struggling last year, this looked like a steal for Salmon, but in-line with how Papi operates, but an extra $7 loan on top of it? Brilliant deal for Salmon at the time. Didn’t seem like anyone else had inter

  🍟 FryGuys 🍟 on May 6, 2024 8:22 PM

• Coming into the draft, it was clear that Salmon had incredible hitting, but was thin at SP, so I thought it was interesting that Salmon focused primarily on hitters and spent nearly his entire budget in the draft. Ok, I get it, plenty of pitchers pop up during the year, so get your hitting studs. But it will be tough without any budget.

  🍟 FryGuys 🍟 on May 6, 2024 8:22 PM

• I'm going to start this out by saying I don't ever recall vetoing a trade since I've played Fantasy Baseball (which dates back to 1987). I've always been of the mind that a manager should be allowed to manage their team however they want, it’s their team and there are multiple ways to have fun with it, and Fantasy Baseball is supposed to be fun. But I feel something needs to be said here, as there is clearly a pattern.

  🍟 FryGuys 🍟 on May 6, 2024 8:22 PM

• Yeah man. Not only is it HIS business, but maybe this IS his business.
  Still amazed, that's a big old pot of matzo ball soup. I can't even fathom the draft logistics.
  While we're at it, I'd like to officially renew my request for Rooker.

  Nappy Dugout on May 6, 2024 8:10 PM

• and i don't mind people voicing concerns about trades on here but who cares how many leagues papi is in, that's his business. leave him alone

  🐡 Salmón de Campusano 🐡 on May 6, 2024 6:50 PM

• pages averages almost 2 more points per game than volpe, if i wasnt so desperate for a SS i wouldnt even do this. sure pages could regress but he's hitting everything in the air and everything hard. volpe could regress too, he was bad last year. and for the record papi did bid on Pages

  AKA Big Papi on May 6, 2024 6:03 PM

• I'm just flabbergasted you pay $7k a season to play fantasy baseball. Does ottoneu offer a volume discount?

  Nappy Dugout on May 6, 2024 5:48 PM

• I've talked enough on this

  AKA Big Papi on May 6, 2024 5:45 PM

• I've been talked off the cliff and I'm convinced Papi thinks he's helping his team and not in collision. I'm not convinced any one else thinks he's helping his team however.
  
  Maybe just bid on the guy next time Papi, you apparently have the money since you're giving him more than he paid for him two weeks ago.

  Fly the W on May 6, 2024 5:44 PM

• How many leagues are you in?

  Nappy Dugout on May 6, 2024 5:35 PM

• Fly the Dub, you have to realize that AKA has literally somewhere around 70 teams in Ottoneu and uses a schizophrenic method of populating them, so these types of trades unfortunately track.

  Trash Can Drummers on May 6, 2024 5:34 PM

• Man, I'm in many many leagues, if you think I even remember the Volpe-Bieber deal you're wrong. Starting from there Pages (I'll cut Baez) for for Volpe and Stroman (33 years old and fading a bit), I would do any day the way Pages is on fire. I'm an instinctive guy, go with the moment, I have Volpe in about 30 leagues so I like the guy but now Pages has my attention, sorry if it bothers you, but there was no malicious intentions

  AKA Big Papi on May 6, 2024 5:31 PM

• He traded you Volpe 6 weeks ago. If you think trading Bieber, Stroman and $34 for Baez and Pages is a good deal for you, I want what you're smoking.

  Fly the W on May 6, 2024 5:23 PM

• Don't even know Salmon and didn't remember trading Volpe to him six weeks ago, no collusion here at all. If you remember Pages wasn't even a thought at that time. He was looking for a SS for Pages in our talks, I offered Pena, he didn't like him, then I offered Arcia, Volpe or Kim, they chose Volpe. I have eight guys who can play SS so I could spare of those three for Pages. Zero collusion dear Fly the W and please don't go based on a wrong impression

  AKA Big Papi on May 6, 2024 5:17 PM

• I'm going to be completely honest and I am sure it will ruffle some feathers, but IDGAF. If the trade between Salmon and Big Papi goes thru, I don't see myself sticking around here. Salmo just traded Papi Volpe 6 weeks ago and now he's giving him back? If you combine this offer with the trade 6 weeks ago, Papi is giving Salmon, Shane Bieber (before he was hurt), Marcus Stroman and $34 for Javier Baez and Pages?!? Ain't no way that is close to OK. You guys working together or something?
