And with that cut, so ends the great post-trade debate, Arcia vs. Albies! It was close...?

I would love trade my work shift for your bachelor party but the league would probably veto it.
-
I’m at a bachelor party. Can I get a TL;DR?
-
I would agree that the rest of the league doesn’t seem to care or think this rises to the level of the c-word. Having said that, we do have some newer owners that weren’t around the last time Marc was in the league and might have been curious about the owners involved. I understand wanting to make that public if you feel you have “no allies” in the league, but I’d appreciate it if we could drop this and move on. Please save anything else for the airing of grievances...😏
-
Cool. Kind of like asking your own focus group. Similar to Slack it seems
-
Not at all. I saw a lopsided trade go down between two managers who are related. I asked all the people I know if it was me, or if the trade was lopsided. 8/8 people I asked said that it looked fishy so I brought it to the league. If that offends you, then that's your issue. I mean, Friday night and all...I already made my point hours ago...the more you keep defending yourself, the more I feel we as a league should worry about this going forward. Game is on. Enjoy your evening.
-
You weren't trolling me? Sorry, my mistake
-
Marc, nobody seems to care. Let it go, your trade will pass. Thanks in advance for not calling me names in the future. If there's anything wrong with what I am bringing to the league for discussion then correct me. Don't spin things calling me a troll.
-
First a few things. Please don't call me names. I haven't called you names, don't call me names. Clear? Second, and the purpose of this conversation. You fleeced your brother. I doubt anybody else makes that trade. Nobody I know does, and people have agreed it's a bad trade. I just voiced my opinion and let everyone else know that it's you and your brother trading...and that I vetoed. What's trolly about that? Calling it like is makes me a troll?.
-
My dad, brother and I have been playing fantasy baseball together for more than 20 years. Not sure why this is being treated as a bad thing or why you would allege we are colluding. We are competing against each other just like everyone else in this league. I took offense to Miguel saying that my dad is trading players to me because he is my dad. That is a pretty jerky move, man. Not sure what you get out of being a troll Miguel, but God bless
-
If i get drunk and download a Pitbull album is that acceptable? Asking for a friend.
-
Am I not allowed to trade with people to whom I am related? Am I allowed to trade with people I am friends with in real life? This is ridiculous, Miguel
-
I personally don't see the value of slack chiming in...It's like going to a yahoo board to talk about a trade in your yahoo league. Their opinions are both irrelevant and inconsequential. If you guys are cool, then I am cool. Must be nice, you know...To have your bro give you a hand when you are in need.
-
Hahaha, I also love that slack didn't care about this trade. They were too busy talking about Marc's other trade.
-
My granny's daytime soap operas used to start at 1230 too.
-
In all seriousness I am kind of surprised that this trade is garnering that much attention. To me this might not even be a top 5 worst trade that I've seen in my limited time in this league. I don't think this is a great trade or anything, but I generally don't veto anything unless there is some serious evidence of collusion. JMO.

2 - the Thor / Bellinger trade is terrible. I'm annoyed that someone was able to dupe someone else into such a lopsided deal, but I also think it falls into the vetoable-but-not-mandatory-veto range.
-
1 - no problem trading a player of that caliber for money alone. Basically the same as a cut / waiver claim.

No, I definitely agree. If I vetoed for anything other than collusion, I would probably use it here. I was more up in arms over the Arcia for Albies swap over the winter (you might have been taking a break at the time). I want to say this wouldn't happen anywhere else, but Marc just did get Trey to give him Trout and Goldy for Matt Chapman, Teoscar and some bit players.
-
Dan. Thanks for jumping in. Agreed that $ values are different for everyone, but my issue is that I don’t believe that trade happens anywhere else but in this scenario. Again, no gripes. I used the board th voice my opinion, which I am allowed to do as a paying customer. The right to the veto button comes with the $9.99 price as well.
-
Honestly, I'm more annoyed that I jumped ahead of Jeimer for one night, and it cost me Beltre...
-
Ok guys, back to your corners. I think I'm not too shocked by the deal as Bellinger was just traded last year for Kershaw, Bumgarner and Vlad. Even just seeing that as the barometer, and considering that Bellinger has slumped his way to 5 p/g, I'm not rushing to veto. I don't like it, but I wouldn't pretend he isn't valuable. This feels like him for Thor, which you can squint and see based on prices, with Eloy then going to a team that is out of it for Severino. We all have different $ values.
-
No need for name calling. I am not the one with allies in the league. Calling me names doesn’t change that.
-
Um, nobody is yelling. I am just pointing that you made a lopsided trade with a relative. Maybe the league doesn’t know you guys are related. I do. So I voiced my opinion. I mean, you are the one explaining all about playing with family members and how that’s advantageous. Relax. Your trade will go through. Nobody reads these boards anyway.
-
Again. Inaccurate. But you just yell and yell, little buddy
-
Your dad was here those two years. Right?Now I know how.
-
I've won this league twice. How have you done?
-
Possibly. But you still need your brother to win. Besos.
-
You are a clown
-
I do have brothers. And sisters. And cousins. I don’t play fantasy baseball with them and a whole bunch of strangers...Thor is top 5 in the league. Severino is in the top 20. Both worth way more than a prospect and a platoon dude. But then again, if you need your brothers help to win, which is what it looks like, that says a lot. I’ll make sure to remind you from time to time. :) Nobody else sends you Thor for those two guys, let alone “throw Severino in.”
-
That's my brother. Do you have brothers? If not, you may not know that there are few people you enjoy competing against and beating. Also it wasn't two SP for just a prospect. Cody Bellinger also was in the deal. He's pretty good, I think
-
Marc, are you related to the person you traded with yes or no? No gripes here. Just asking the league if they are cool with the lopsided trade with your relative. Cheers.
