Hells I'm not confused. You stated any trade veto and you would leave the league. Do I have to prove this?

One more since Eric seems confused about my position.
I agree on "obvious funny business". Or as I said earlier "used with extreme care".
EG: a manager gets a loaned Mike Trout in exchange for a roster space. That's clearly messed up and probably should be vetoed.
Listen, the only reason I brought up my issue with vetos in the first place is because I was openly critical of that trade and didn't want anyone to think I was behind one of those votes.
Have a great day.

My uninvited two cents on vetos: if a trade is lopsided enough that more than half the league thinks it shouldn't go through, it probably shouldn't go through. I won't veto a trade unless there is obvious funny business going on. I suspect most people feel the same, and I doubt it will ever come up. It is within the rules, so if you don't like the fire sale I'm having because you think it's bad for the league, and you want to veto... go for it.

Back to talking trades... I am still looking to unload Kluber. Haven't gotten nearly the interest that I thought I would. Maybe if he didn't suck.

Yeah I was calling you up on your offer. You get mad at ownersroght to veto so you decide I’ll quit if a trade gets vetoes. Talk to the person who created this rule not owners who follow rules. This is all in you bud. Next time don’t threaten an entire league if you don’t like some who veto a trade which is allowed. Done here

Right, and you said go ahead and quit. Twice. Like I said, I suppose it was a little overblown to hypothetically quit following a situation that hasn't happened yet. It's also not very nice to invite someone to do so. Again, the main takeaway here is this: vetoing trades can - and does - ruin leagues. That's all I'm going to say about that.

You said you would leave the league not me. Didnt you state that? You said if a trade is vetoed you quit.

It wasn't hostile, it was stating my opinion that trades are between owners and a veto is something that should be used with extreme care. Perhaps a threat to leave the league is a little over-blown. If I think a trade is so bad, I send a message in the league chat ribbing them. A veto is usually not likely to pass, as it is, but it's just bad juju. Not good for leagues to fire off vetos and invite others to "quit if they don't like it" as you've done.

Hey fifty my comments were not hostile. Hostile is stating I will leave the league if a trade is vetoed basically telling all owners not to veto any trades.

Speaking of trades, I'm looking to move Greinke and Stroman. Rendon, Braun and Miggy also on the block. Open to moving anybody really.
-
Houston, please stop with the hostile comments.
-
I care because it's anti-competitive to veto trades. The veto button isn't for trades you don't like. It's for clearly messed up situations and should never be used 999 times of 1000. The trade I'm referencing was bad, in my opinion, but certainly not heinous.

Who cares Hell? I did veto and did nothing wrong. Like you said you should leave the league if a trade is vetoed or personally call Niv. If you don’t like the rules then leave

Hell’s we have the right to veto. I’m not the one who created the option. If you don’t lik3 the rules, then you should leave as you stated. I’ll reserve the right as all other owners to veto any trade.

Just want, for the record, to point out: while I was publicly (and privately) critical, I didn't veto that most recent trade. I notice two people did. C'mon guys, vetoing is bush-league. I'm serious, I will leave the league if a trade is ever overruled by veto. There's no place for it.

DJ is doing well and should continue to get time. I don't really know if he will be a major piece of the Yankees plans past this year, and I think Frazier has done a lot to suggest he will be a big part if that offense.
It's not the worst trade I've made, but I think Frazier *could* be an asset for years.
-
I guess I'm the dummy. I've been legitimately agonizing over this one for days - I really didn't want to give up DJ
-
Note to self: when a trade is not accepted within a few days, cancel the trade. Happy birthday, Kenny Powers.

Houston, you need to stop. When a team is out of compliance, they show as red. Verlander has done nothing wrong and you continue to harrass him. Manage your own team and I'll manage the league.

Step 1 for being a stickler for the rules: Read the fucking rules

I'm confused. Nobody is in an illegal state right now. The reason some teams (mine included) have over 40 is that players on the 60 day IL do not count against the roster slot limit. When they become active, the team will need to cut down. This is totally normal and within the rules.

Thank you for your service
