Personally, I only veto trades when there's obvious collusion. Unless CR paid ten bucks for the abandoned team, which would be the most pathetic thing ever, I don't think there's any malfeasance here. While I think the trade is insane and possibly the most one-sided deal in league history on the surface, we're all adults here, presumably, so I voted for it to pass.
-
Consensus is against veto. The punishment is being made fun of by other managers apparently.

Please just veto the trade. I won't take it personally, and it's completely fine. I have won ottoneu leagues in the past, and I am leading 2 of them now, so I know how to keep teams competitive and how to rebuild quickly. Sometimes you over-pay to get players you like who you think are under-valued. But the last thing I want to do is mess up a league other people are enjoying. It's your league, not mine, and I don't want to ruin it.
-
I'm definitely drinking, but I resent all strangely sexual charges. I'm willing to give up cheap, unproven players with high ceiling for overpriced stars since I inherited a team with very low overall salary. Seems like a normal way for the league to re-balance.

A person can't legally give consent if under the influence of substances. The imbalance in the trade does suggest the possibility that alcohol or other substances were involved

Since both parties apparently consented, I don't think we could convict on rape, but we might could go for a misdemeanor sexual assault charge, assuming we can agree on which owner was the victim. If you are playing for the long term, you don't give up future stars for a one year shot at finishing 1st. I turned down a similar offer for Ian Happ and I'm glad now I did because I couldn't handle another A felony on my record.

Fair enough I am willing to go with whatever the consensus is on the deal. Like I said I never veto so I likely won't now but man that trade is ugly, like I grew up in Chernobyl ugly.

i thought it was a bad trade, but clearly not collusion - which to me means clearly no veto. I welcome the competition!

It took me half the year to move Rizzo due to his price but in the end a deal materialised.

I get you are only thinking of next year but that deal short changes your potential rebuild significantly. I have to believe if you waited a little you could get better offers.

The loan isn't the issue. Kershaw had that loan attached because a mistake during the draft left him with a ridiculous value. We didn't actually bid him up to 125

Agreed. But nobody else wanted them. I like Barreto and Dahl for next year. But i take no offense at a veto. Kershaw plus more than $100 went through so it seemed like that was sort of how this league goes. I am only interested in players I like next year.
-
I am tempted to veto and I never ever feel that way. It isn't collusion but it is incredibly poor asset management. Arguably every single player Adirondack gave up should command in trade what was offered for the group.

I didn't think someone would be so sensative to that word in a fantasy baseball league. That being said you can tell how seriously I take fantasy baseball by the performance of my team.

Rape is such an extreme word - it seems odd that a trade in fantasy baseball, no matter how lopsided you find it, would bring that word to your mind. But everybody is different, and I suspect you take fantasy baseball much more seriously than I ever could. Rape victims probably would not think "rape" no matter how lopsided a fantasy baseball trade was. C'est la vie.

One word comes to mind and that word is "rape"

What does everyone think about this trade? I have some pretty serious reservations but I wanted to see if they were shared by the group before I went into them in detail

Too far back to try to catch up to steam donkey. Like all those guys listed but i can't afford them long term. Gonna be capped out or close after this year as is.

Carry On My Heyward Son's trade block has been updated!

I'll answer the call. I have the best kind of problem to have, my team is playing so well that I have to pivot and play for this year. We'll see if they can keep it up. I'm a potential buyer for anyone that's selling. I'll update my trade block.
-
Has everybody conceded the league to Steam Donkey this early in the season? If anybody wants to add Lindor, Machado, Kris Bryant, Wil Myers, Puig, Marcel Ozuna, etc, feel free to reach out to me. Trade negotiations are the best part of this game.
-
I am interested in Sale. If you want send an offer.

Chris Sale is also available, along with a loan for his entire salary. I imagine a team adding both Kershaw and Sale would see an immediate and substantial boost in their P/IP. Or that a team seeking to counter a rival's addition of Kershaw could even things out by adding Sale (who is at a reasonably keepable salary).
-
I have a fair offer for Kershaw on the table I am considering accepting, so if anyone wants Kershaw and a loan for most of his salary, now is the time to send an offer. Perfect for contending teams. I am looking towards the future (especially 2B/3B/OF) since my entire team is hurt.
-
I am planning to make my penalty-free cuts later today. Nobody particularly valuable, but if you are interested in players on my roster who I am considering cutting (e.g. Brad Miller, Adam Frazier, Profar, Ramos) I would trade them for small loans to keep them off the waiver wire. Not looking for much - they won't cost me anything to cut, but if you like them and have an extra $1 or 2, then we can work something out.

Louisville Cardinals's trade block has been updated!
-
Hello all. I will try to make this team competitive, but it is too late to contend this year. The prior owner does not seem to have been filling out his lineup card. I am open to "rebuild" type trade offers. I am open to any/all trade ideas. I am mainly looking for players who could help me next year. I am open to minor leaguers, but I tend to avoid players below AA. I don't have patience to wait 4 years for a player to reach the majors - I am too old to think that far down the roa

You have a lot of good pieces though. Every other team is active, so you should have no problem moving guys you don't want.

I adopted the vacant team. It is a bit of a mess but I will see what I can do.
-
Welcome to the league, new owner of Crawfords! Now that you're here, please trade me Ozuna, thanks.
-
Have 4 corner infielders for 3 slots. Taking offers on Lamb, Arenado, Rizzo, and Healy. Looking to move one for pitching and/or younger keepable player at short or catcher

It appears not. You're the third person to mention it to me. I sent a message a week or two ago and never heard back. It's a process but I'm aware of the situation.

Commish, is Crawfords active? I was looking at their line up and it seems like he isn't starting Chris Sale ever but does have a ton of DL players active.

Gonna be cutting Buxton soon. Which means you can either get him for 9 at auction or cheaper by making trade with me (willing to subsidize most of his salary with a loan). Send offers if interested, if not i totally understand.
