Originally posted by revo View PostSure, I'd buy Reynolds low. But Bard and Cortes have been great, so not sure that's buying him low.
I personally would not do it, and I understand some angst but it's possible we look back in a few months and the players in the "get" column in offer 2 are better than the "give".
Gorman has his K issues, Bard is a closer for Colorado and it wasn't long ago he had very, very little value on this board, and Cortes was just cut by Seattle less than 2 years ago.
I would personally value the Cortes/Gorman/Bard higher right now, but I could definitely see a team with a sell high buy low plan thinking this is a great deal.

Gorman is generating a ton of interest so if I do trade him I should be able to get a nice return.More American children die by gunfire in a year than on-duty police officers and active duty military.

I don't think this is a bad offer, and you're right, Bard & Cortes can go back to being the real Bard & Cortes next week. But obviously, the dumper wants them too. I'm not sold on Chapman being that good any longer (but a save is a save), and Cortes looks like the real deal even if he was a journeyman just last year.
I'd do the counter I proposed, Gorman for Woodruff & Reynolds. Maybe if asked, throw in a pick or lower level prospect.

AL only, 12 teams. 10 farm spots.
I was offered Mize $5A + 1st rd pick for my Mullins $9B.
Mullins is a stud, under $10 and extendable.
Mize is a pitcher with very low k rates and an injured elbow. 1st rd picks hold subjective value, but typically dealt for non-keepers (often a decent $30ish player but not a stud).
Am I overly offended here, or is it as ridiculous as it seems?Larry David was once being heckled, long before any success. Heckler says "I'm taking my dog over to fuck your mother, weekly." Larry responds "I hate to tell you this, but your dog isn't liking it."

Originally posted by Ken View PostI think it's just this, not offensive.
I'm sent an inquiry asking after my $25 Donaldson or my $34 Franmil.
I respond with a list of 5 players, none of which are Mize. I even offer to take back a guaranteed $10 Biggio through next year if it helps (a likely cut and $5 penalty).
No response.
He trades one of my targets (Mountcastle) for Abreu $31 and Lemahieu $18x and Zimmerman $4. Fine, he filled his holes.
Then comes back with the Mize + 1st for Mullins offer.
Poor communication. Why ask me who I'm after, then offer someone I didn't mention?Larry David was once being heckled, long before any success. Heckler says "I'm taking my dog over to fuck your mother, weekly." Larry responds "I hate to tell you this, but your dog isn't liking it."

Understood, sometimes it can be frustrating when the other team doesn't offer the players you have stated you are interested in. That said, I get probably 5 bad offers for every 1 decent one. From my experience that's just part of the game. Looks like you don't have a match that will work with this guy but I would not be offended.

Originally posted by revo View PostIn an AL only, I would assume Mullins is a 1st round-ish type. I don't really know the true value of a 1st rounder, but this seems like an offer to scoff at.More American children die by gunfire in a year than on-duty police officers and active duty military.

This guy has sent me 4-5 laughable offers thus far, but this is my favorite:
Kenley Jansen for Camilo Doval and MacKenzie Gore
H2H points league where closers aren't super important, but starting pitchers are huge. And it's a keeper league where Gore can be kept 4 more years (at $5-10-15-20).
