I'm sorry but this trade absolutely stinks. It's robbery. I was dumbfounded after reading this when it first was published and nothing has changed. Well, other than my ability to respond to said stinky trade. Sometimes you guys overwhelm me. In this case not in a good way. It's trades like this crap that seriously have me considering a trade voting procedure for our league.
I don’t really understand either of the last two trades between Tim and Dave. They are clearly lopsided. Tim, any chance you could give your view as to why you think you’re getting fair value?
These last two trades aren't explicable from any look- near term or future. Trades are in most cases in the eye of the trader, but these are obviously too lopsided.
I have the same view on these two trades. That first one was a head-scratcher in particular given that I don't see it being a win in current or future value for Tim. If the first trade included Adley Rutschman and the the prospects from the second trade, I might think it was even.
Why bring this up? Trades like this significantly shift the balance of power, and make the league less fun. We're all adults, and we're all here to enjoy ourselves or create a diversion in life. I'm not looking to make bad guys, but I seriously question the viability of this league if this is the trading norm.
I'm willing to back off if Tim feels he has the right of this, but I'm at a bit of a loss on how to proceed.
