Nothing like making the first fantasy trades of the season. In 2 separate deals, dealt away Jesus Montero, Thames, Martin Perez, Zach Britton, K-Rob, Downs, and Guyer and got back $1 Farnsworth, $1 Betemit, $7 Niemann, and $5 Matt Harrison.

Just curious what you got back in the Montero deal.

MagSeven and i recently made a pre-draft (keepers) deal in my local league where i gave up Moustakis $1 for Jesus Montero $1. I also have Lawrie $1 and he also has Avila $1. So, we were trading extra pieces to fill vacant positions. Seems like a good deal for both of us. Although, i have to wait for Montero to gain catcher eligibility (5 starts).

I'm in a 12 team 25 man mixed keeper with 12 minor league spot. I turned

Brett Lawrie, BJ Upton, Cole Hamels, Joel Hanrahan, Kyle Farnsworth, Julio Teheran, Michael Choice, Lonnie Chisenhall, Jacob Turner, Starling Marte, Jonathan Sanchez, and a couple of mid round vet picks (I figure it cost me Heisey and a 3rd catcher - probably going to handcuff Hanigan to Mesoraco now)

into

Evan Longoria, Curtis Granderson, Adam Jones, Michael Young, Kipnis, Jordan Walden, Gavin Floyd, Henderson Alvarez, Will Middlebrooks, Chad Billinglsey, and Chone Figgins

All those trades also freed up a few keeper spots so I could keep Balfour, Reimold, and Prado too.

Gave up Montero, Thames, and Martin Perez for Farnsworth, Niemann, and Betemit. Montero was my only definite keeper
