Commish, you can abandon my team, I won't be returning next year. I didn't commit enough time to it this year as is. I already completed arbitration, best of luck guys!

Hey papi, welcome back. Your old team is available in this league if you want it.. “mercury lounge”.. hasn’t been marked abandoned yet because of prior interest but nothing taken to date so just wanted to throw it out there

Would be good if the two currently not legal teams could be made legal before arb ends so theres clarity for allocations

Thanks for playing Stott! Been fun. Ridiculous- any luck in finding a new manager?
-
Hi all, I will not be returning next season. Thanks for many seasons of enjoyment.
-
Yes I know someone who may want to join
-
Mercury - sad to see you go but thanks for playing with us the last few years. Before I mark abandoned - does anyone have a contact who might want to join?
-
Hi everyone, I am planning on scaling down my Ottoneu team commitment for next year so I would like to removed from ownership for my team. I have already allocated for arbitration so we should be covered. Thank you!

Asa Ms fan it certainly doubled my horror realising what I did

Ha, I was looking at Woo’s page to see if he was undergoing TJ or something. He’s been added back, no worries
-
I'll take Woo off your hands for $9, Felix. No worries!
Great season to all except mine. That was a disaster. Looking forward to next year.
-
Hi All - please forgive my accidental cut on Woo - oops! Fat fingers!! LM could I please have him returned as definitely want to hold and was an accident

Thanks! Great season to Felix as well, and Moniak already somehow in the top 3 after a very brief hiatus, congrats! Fun season everyone, highly competitive as always and was super close for most of the year. Now comes the 5 months of darkness…hope everyone enjoys the playoffs and has a great offseason!
-
Congrats to Coco! A new franchise gets in the winners circle

Doing everything in my power to blow it, glad that I’m proving some entertainment :)
-
House Cat, closing fast! Great race Coco and Felix!
-
I have more pitchers and some bats I’d like to move before the deadline. Talk to me.
-
Exactly right, teams are all valuing players differently and we never know how it will turn out. Let’s say Clase got sent down to the minors tomorrow and gator offers you tatis and bregman for Gaddis, are you accepting? I seriously doubt it

I've gotten much better at letting trades slide that are unbalanced in my eyes, because we all have biases. But there are some that are so blatantly lopsided they can't be ignored. And it doesn't matter whether there was intentional collusion or not. I don't believe this was malicious. Irresponsible trades by 2 teams that upset the competitive balance in the whole league are bad for the whole league. This trade sets a horrible precedent and owners should veto it.
-
I think that's the proper approach to take, Coco. Agree that there are definitely unnecessary players in the deal, and the return looks light especially compared to other offers that have been out there, but if there's no collusion the veto process needs to play out.
-
Agree with most of the sentiment here, though I generally still believe that trades shouldn’t be vetoed unless there is obvious collusion. As the person most negatively impacted by this trade, I don’t really see that there is obvious collusion.
To A Frauds point, Gator did probably get the best keeper, though I question why Cortes and Bregman needed to be involved.
I’m not going to unilaterally veto the trade, if it gets enough votes then so be it.
-
I’m voting to veto. That said, there’s one player in that trade that would go for a higher price at auction next year.. and it’s the one gator is getting

Also if you drill it down. Mercury has 50 innings left, tatis a couple games, and bregman.

Veto the trade
-
Honestly, it makes me feel better about the trade offers I send out. After they get rejected, I’m like “Yeah, that was bad I shouldn’t have offered that.”
But I’ve offered the moon and stars for some players and still got nothing. Let’s keep it fun!
-
What is the defense for trading a closer/reliever for those 4 players "Well, no one was going to give me anything for them."? There IS no defense. Trades like this ruin the integrity of leagues. It's insulting and angering that it was even offered, never mind it was thought to be OK by both parties. Gator offered me Tatis ALONE for Skenes! And now he gives up Tatis AND 3 useful players for a RP?! Shameful. This requires a commissioner veto.
-
Bullshit. All bullshit. It's not about if you can keep the guy. You a fucking kamala the butcher voter too?
-
I accepted the trade because Tatis I’m not keeping and wanted to get something for him since he will play a couple games in September. The other people I wasn’t keeping. So it really was trading a bunch of non keepers for a keeper.

I’d like to hear Gator’s point of view as to why he accepted the (very lopsided) deal.
-
Veto these trades. It's bullshit
-
WTF is the deal with that trade? That's a great way to try and ruin the league.
-
I have several players I’m looking to move to contenders and those rebuilding ahead of the deadline. Let’s make some moves!
-
Tatis is on the block!

I’ve updated my trading block. Other players can be available for the right price, but I’m less inclined to deal players not on that list.
Ideally, I’d like to give 2-1, 3-2 etc where I give up more players than I receive even if it’s somewhat of an overpay on my part.
I’ve offered Strider to several owners, but only in deals involving top 20-25 players in the game.
-
Inversely, I am looking to buy. Send over any offers!
-
FIRE SALE THRU 8/31: Team Deuce is finally ready to throw in the towel and play for next year. Skubal and Yordan are the only players relatively unavailable (but when it comes down to it, everybody has a price). Feel free to message or send offers if anybody is of interest to you!

Coco comin in hot!

Someone that needs SP come get Lugo already. I know the White Sox are a AA team, but another 65+ points today. Top 10 scoring SP, and he’s cheap. Let’s get him on a contender already.
-
Looks like Trade SZN is upon us. I have several players I’m looking to move as I focus on reloading for next year.
-
Congrats on Acuna, Moniak! Now what am I supposed to do with all this extra cap space I have?
-
I’m looking for offense—OF is a priority, and then MI—but open to all types.
Willing to move plenty of keepers to acquire.
-
Mercury has got it bad for JHM!
