  • (2 of 2) The loan is there to help teams trade high contract players who have little value on a bad team to winning teams who value that player more. My trade return would slow my rebuild if I had to match or be close on money in a trade. For example if I asked for $30 Bregman, he's now $32 next season, plus all the arb money he'll get because I have no other good players so his contact is no longer valuable to me.

  • (1 of 2) I appreciate all the public and private feedback, it helps me learn this league a lot quicker. Value is a relative term when it comes to player contacts and also trade returns. The loan doesn't reduce Soto's salary to $13, but it allows a $62 Soto to be rostered for just the remainder of the season. A $62 Soto is probably cut or can have arb $ applied if you feel his contact is low. My focus is a trade package that will provide me value for the next several years so I can compete.

  • I don't really have a problem with it, but a $13 Juan Soto is worth...... a lot.

  • Likewise, happy to talk through any issues with the trade if anyone feels like they'd like to have a chat.

  • I can assure you there is no collusion between Glaus and myself as should be evident by the other trade I have made so I don't understand the reason for 2 vetoes. Please direct message me with concerns and/or help me understand the reason for the veto and I am happy to discuss this with you.

  • Thanks Dan! I want to be fully transparent with my cuts and the reason I want to wait is that I want to make sure to have close to a full lineup so I continue accruing stats and be fair to all teams. Each point counts for the standing and I don't want to give any unfair advantage by rolling over and not having a lineup.

  • Morning everyone - Salvy (Derrick) has asked me to make his PF Cuts tomorrow AM as he'll be away from his devices, so I'll be doing that at some point before noon tomorrow. Once I have the list of names, I'll post publicly so that there's no semblance of me sitting on such valuable information :) But yea, still will honor his request and make the cuts tomorrow (5/15 AM).

    Carry on...
    Dan
