I'm very easy to trade with.

This.

I don't list them in any particular order, sometimes I do all pitchers first and then hitters but that is rare. I usually for MLB guys then prospects.

Sometimes I will say these are the positions I want to fill in order with a little blurb of what I want from that guy. 3B must be able to start next season, power hitter with great defense/arm.

I think I am pretty easy to negotiate with. But if I am giving up someone I really don't need to, Wright or Sims, I will have my asking price. If the other owner can't accept what I am asking for then I look elsewhere or keep the guy.

And I am an loyal person when trading. Ry had an offer in for Sims, someone else made a decent offer Bit told him he has to wait so I can I hear back from Ry. But at the same time if his offer was 100% better and gave me more pieces I would have accepted and explained that to Ry.

George, you are very easy to negotiate with.
That is how Corey is too.
We all list who we like, then we see what we can put together that we agree upon.

As someone else stated, it is very hard with the difference of opinions between scouts now, so personally, I think listing all the players you are interested in is the easiest way.

Trading away Kevin Pritchard for SP Todd Williams in 2023
Trading away Carl Hodges away for two MR's (I did win the world series with them though)

1) trading away Dan Sims when I was pissed at the game!
2) probably trading to get Sims back and giving up to much but ah well, should be able to find a couple of OF prospects to replace the ones I moved at some point. As for Jimenez, glad to have that cancer gone! but he is performing again for Omaha in the friendly hitting confines.

Don't you hate it when buyers remorse starts to creep in. I hate that feeling.

3 replies in 3 different hreads regarding this.

Nerve touched. Mission accomplished.

Not quite. Bored in an airport. But I got your hopes up! Mission accomished.

Well since we can still trade, I'll still listen to offers for Snider then esp since he didn't decide on his contract extension yet for some reason

Worst trade had to be the Hayden deal. The prospect bombed and the two SPs never reached their potential

As for trading, I'm the same way--name who you want, I give a list of guys I like, and we figure something out. Or we realize the pieces don't fit up and we try again down the road. Isn't that hard.

I want to say thank you to all who had recent trades.
You all did a great job with instructions and having your teams ready. Made all the trades easy to process and get your teams ready per your instructions.

Sheltown ready to make a playoff push!!!

I lose my 4th starter the day AFTER the trade deadline.

Blow your arm out earlier dummy!!!

5-1 sim though as the new guys got their name tags and hit some bombs.

Mason and Hercules seem to be picking up the pace now that Highbarger and Salgado are gone. But my other fill-ins are struggling around them. David Hernandez, the knuckler, has made 1 start and lasted all of 3 innings before spraining his ankle. I'm not sure what to tell him... the only way to go lighter is to start tossing it underhand.

I think we are due for that realignment talk again.

The NL is so stacked.

That walker trade is on of the weirdest,quietest big name trade of all time.

Even ootp doesn't mention him in the news,they mention lynch.

Didn't he just win a Cy Young?

Damn, 2-16 in August. I should've made some trades yesterday while I could. Playoffs chances are quickly evaporating.

I thought he won 2 of em.

Maybe Nick's scout loves those 2 guys coming back, my scout did not.

LOL, The roller coaster continues. Just when I think the aging Polar Bears are fading, they go 5-2 and get back in the Wild Card race.

Not hijacking this as my trade thread... but I'm still open to making some non-40 man trades. The trade deadline only effectively applies to players on the 40 man roster.

yay lost Hayden for 3 months.

You need to start cruise control in July next year instead of August
