Well played, Justin. Word in my locker room is we're comin' for the championship next year. I hope all owners plan to return too.

Congrats Justin!

Hope you're staying dry and safe, Makers.

Hello all. I just wanted to let you know that if I become illegal or do not check my team for a few days or more, I have not abandoned. I am in a spot that will be affected by Hurricane Irma (even though I should not take a direct hit), so I could lose power, cell service, or run out of battery.

If anyone is itching to sell for any last minute deals that doesn't involve Conforto and his dodgy shoulder, please let me know.

Haha, how much value does an OF with a dislocated should have?

I'd like to trade Conforto $9 for a healthy keeper of equal value who can help me by actually playing down the stretch. Let me know if ya'll are interested.

Especially because that was a joke for David since we actively argue on Slack how much better Rich Hill is than Verlander.

I know Verlander isn't having that good of a season, but please don't offer me worse players for him.

Masahiro Tanaka is available. Would package with another prospect for a high quality keeper. Send me offers.

I have a decent offer for some of the guys on my block, so if anyone else is interested, please let me know in the next day or two.

I think KBO did the trade with eyes wide open, so it's ok. It is bad for me because I'm pressured to buy to keep up. Again this hurts me as a buyer, but sellers can say: "I'm near a Posey deal, send any final offers for him by X date." Then, the league is more on notice and may take these sell offs better. The nature of not contending is to blame, not the seller. This is part of the cycle of the league setup.
-
wtf...what's this? trade shaming now? where was the outrage before? 😂
-
Ok I'm tired of being the whipping boy over a trade of a non keeper for a $1 SP with upside. If you've watched Montgomery or read about him you would know that he is an interesting lefty playing in a stadium that favors them.
-
There's a fallacy that people make that they think a trade offer is always a take it or leave it offer. I doubt an MLB GM reaches out for a desirable player and says "We'll only offer you this if you want to move this guy." The lack of response makes it a take it or leave it offer though because I am not just going to keep throwing things against the wall (like Justin said) if there is no or limited communication. I am just saying this, so you understand our point why we don't reach

Um Trout...I was told by an owner don't bother asking for anything too good bc the Trout return was so light.
-
Which happens in most leagues I have been in...It's just that some of these star trades we have had really stick out.
-
I don't think it's a league "being weird scenario"...It's that clearly some owners value some players less than the average Ottoneu owner. That Machado trade set the tone, really. If I hadn't been in rebuild mode (and doing somewhat good at that I think) I would have been livid.
-
This league is just weird, it seems like every trade is significantly more beneficial to the buyer than the seller (I know I've benefited from that on a couple of my deals).
-
If this is the trade I beg to differ. I'm keeping Archer and Braxton. I was working and getting several offers so didnt have time to look. Everybody was telling me to look at their team.
The Makers of the Sexy gives up...
PLAYER NAME SALARY
Austin Meadows $3
Stephen Piscotty $9
Mitch Keller $1
Outgoing Loan $0
How about something like this?
The KBO Thumper gives up...
PLAYER NAME SALARY
Juan Nicasio $1
Christopher Archer $29
Keon Broxton $4
Outgoing Loan $11

I agree. That is exactly how you do it. I did not do it in this instance. As I stated I hung the open for business sign up, got lowball offers and then silence. You are 100% correct I may have been able to do better for Posey. We will never know. Given my limited experience with you guys and the take it or leave it offers I have received I doubted that I could so I made this trade.
-
When you posted guys on the block, I reached out and was told that you are too busy to look at my team, but make an offer. I made an offer. Got the rejection notice with no explanation and with no follow up message. I guess maybe the posting saying you only got "lowball offers" was my response. Even though, looking back, my offer would have been a better return than just Montgomery.

I beg to differ that you know "how to maximize my trade value" if you didn't reach out to anyone else in the last 24 hours before you pulled the trigger on this. Maybe Justin (or anyone for that matter) goes, "Crap, I will beat that then."

Makers I have no idea what that last comment is about. I always respond to trade offers and am open to talent for talent trades they hopefully benefit both teams. I've alway been that way.
-
Montgomery doesn't have to be Sale or Kershaw for this to be beneficial. I know I'm the new guy in this league but I've been playing ottoneu for 6 years and I know how to maximize my trade value. Given the lack of viable offers for any of my players I made a deal I liked. I've reached out to Justin in the past and have an idea how he values guys. With the lack of communication I never thought to reach out.
-
Also, from my experience, it is tough for someone to reach out afterwards when you are told that you want youth, told to send an offer, and get that offer rejected with no explanation or counter. It seems like you want no one. Granted, maybe it is just that time of year of boredom and everyone wants to just take any offer since I have seen so many light returns taken lately.

Even though I am realistically only battling for 3rd and didn't really want Posey, this return is super light for Posey unless you think Montgomery is the next Sale or Kershaw. If you actually traded Posey for Montgomery and $49 in space, I would get that more. Justin is right that it behooves you to reach out to others unless you get a deal that just blows you away.

I did, and asked you who I had you would want. You only mentioned Thor. Oh well, I'm done now.
