I find it funny in a way that as the league’s original member and founder that the two most hotly debated trades in leagues history have involved Arenado.
-
I tend to agree that it is a pretty lopsided trade. If people want to veto or not I think that settles it but I also think a "I'm not sure if I want Arenado on my team" argument is a little silly for a argument. I'd be interested to hear Hac Man on the subject.
-
This is only my third year in the league, but it seems that if you have more chips in front of you, you’ve got a lot more options. You can buy a lot with four all stars, even if they’re all 3B. I’m not against Arenado being traded, only the potential value in return.
-
I disagree about the three players only having to be a part of Arwnado’s value. It’s true that Hac Man can use the $40 to fund another player or two in next year’s auction. But will those players be able to score what Arenado scores while only filling one spot in his lineup? This is why I believe that one 1000 pointer is worth more than two players who score 500 each.
-
He also might be able to trade some of his newly acquired keeper pieces for higher priced more productive players pre auction – there is more than one way to build and compete.
-
It should also be noted that Hac Man doesn’t need either of the 3 players he just picked up to come close the Arenado’s value (his 3 new players will cost $11 in 2019 dollars after the $6 in auto raises while Arenado will cost $51, so he freed up $40 in auction money). What he needs is his 3 new additions PLUS the player(s) he acquires for $40 at auction to meet/beat Arenado. With the right auction bids I think that goal is attainable.
-
I decided to sacrifice some of my future to make one last push at winning this year. If I keep Arenado next year then I have to move Turner, Donaldson, and maybe Bryant if he loses his OF eligibility and I might also need to move Correa and/or Kluber etc. to stay below the $400 salary max. That movement will be good for trade activity for the league in the offseason and/or more available players for the league during the auction.
-
The trade was not a no brainer for me. I’m not sure if a months’ worth of production from Arenado is enough to catch Ozzies. If I don’t catch Ozzies then I have traded a 24 year old SS eligible player with a $2 salary, a 25 year old OF with a $1 salary, and a 22 year old SP with a $2 salary for Arenado and Arenado while very good (he is 10th offensively in total production year to date) he is also pretty close to market value (Goldschmidt went for $52 at action this year as a comparison)
-
I also realize that there are two shoes. I just completed a trade with Hac Man for Jones and Upton, neither of whom are likely to reach that gold standard again. Also, Jones has a salary that is prohibitive for keeping. Upton’s is on the fence for me. Arenado, at $49, is still well within the keeper range as a top fiver. Thoughts?
-
I’m concerned about how the Arenado trade keeps our league competitive. I can understand the reasons for making such a trade: Choo to make his team better, Hac Man to play for the future. However, I don’t think this is a fair deal. Arenado is a perennial top 5 fantasy player. He reaches the gold standard of 1000 points every year. There’s a great chance that the rest of the players in this deal never come close. If a player like Ohtani or Acuna or Albies were included, that would make sens

Sounds like fun. My brother and I did a cross country trip some years ago and hit 10 major league stadiums. I’m jealous of all the minor league parks. I’m still hoping to hit Phoenix one year for Spring Training.

Just to share, since we have to be aware of MiLB in this group! Wife and I roadtripped last week..In six days: Kingsport @ Greeneville, Reds @ Braves, Greenville @ Augusta, Clearwater @ Daytona, Mississippi @ Pensacola, Gwinnett @ Charlotte. Have family in AUG and CHA, the rest was about knocking out the last of the Reds affiliates and seeing the new (and awful!) ballpark in Atlanta. Saw all six levels of ball in six days.

I will move David Price for a pack of Cigarettes and a David Cone trading card at this point... FUCK!
