I can't even see why this trade raises flags when it has Painter, Jobe and Amador in it. I love the way my pitching staff is lining up for the next couple of years. Gallon being 28 has nothing to do with the fact that he's going cost me over $30 to keep next year. The World Series season of last year put 243 innings on that arm. It's not the direction I want to go with star tier money. I'm loading up on cheap pitching is going to spend on bats. This trade is perfect for me.

I'm not winning this year in case you didn't notice. I got three players I'm really excited about for next season for one player I would've kept. Gallen threw 243 innings last year. 2nd half red caution tape! To get the two best pitching prospects in baseball in my opinion and the future star Shortstop of Coors field. the real deal. He's killer! It's a no-brainer for me. This is a league that values prospects. They are not easy to get in trades. I love this trade for my team. "MY TEAM&quo

... I sold BIG names, high priced guys I had no intention of keeping into my contention window, in the first month of the season for a BIG return of near to the majors prospects. It was a strategy that was not popular, but made my team better in the long run.

As for the timing...early in the season. This doesn't raise any flags for me. I have used this specific strategy in a rebuild. I knew I had little chance to compete for a title in the first year of taking over a team. I bought a couple of high priced stars at auction, that were not enough for me to contend, with the sole intent to sell them as soon as a big injury hit a contending team....

My take...just to add on. I have played Ottoneu since near the beginning, & I have seen this type of trade a hundred times...been on both sides of making them. This is not a haul I would look for, but I haven't done a deep dive on the return. There are certain prospects that I know well, and am certain that I value WAY higher than some..it is baked into this pie. Everyone has a vote, & I urge them to vote their conscience..but..vetos are meant for evidence of collusion, not a dea

Gallan is 28 and a top tier SP.......the two pitching prospects that he had to have.....one is projected to be a mid rotation starter and the other has pitched in two years and had TJ in 2023. Sorry but this trade impacts the league and ruins the integrity of the league, esp. given how early in the season it is.

Sure, I would've loved to get a chance to to match the offer. But fact of the matter is KP saw an offer he liked and made a deal. My loss. If you think something illegal happened, then you gotta do what you gotta do. But this league has been around for a while, and I like to think that even when we disagree, the action is above-board and cooler heads end up prevailing. I prefer not to set a precedent where we veto trades that aren't illegal or that don't fundamentally harm the league.

I looked back at the leagues trades over the last few years.....I couldn't find one trade that including a top tier player for prospects this early in the season

if "you just know" then why not advertise that you are giving up on the year.....get more offers and the best deal possible.

Yeah, it's a little early, but some years you just know. Full disclosure before (and honestly after) the Yamamoto deal we were putting together offers for Gallen as well. No offense to KP, but he didn't have to advertise to us that he was a prime candidate to sell.
