Dumb baseball!
Doubled up Miami in run diff, .5 games back in the standings.
May want to consider trading Marino for a 3 headed monster bullpen.

Guys like Vargo, Delgado, Claudio Lopez, Johnny Cruz, Potts, Mochi.
All guys that should be receiving a ton of interest from teams across the league.....radio silence. Sure the bigger contracts I get.
Billy and Dave dont count because we all know their type of offers.
I am trying to fire sale and cant even do that right AND I am losing to a much inferior Miami team!!!!
Stupid season.

The block is mostly "everyone" - which leads to shopper paralysis. I want it all but can't decide what I want more so I buy nothing.

Haven't looked so don't know. What are their contracts? That may be why you have radio silence. And adding some players and giving up the farm would not work for me so that's why I haven't hit anyone up

I think the main thing slowing down trading is simply guys not asking or being proactive.
But...These '19 ratings differences are just too much, way too much variation. It makes trading really difficult when I have a guy rated 70 potential , for exmaple, and it seems like every other owner has him rated completely different.

The league I did without scouts was awful. When everyone sees the same exact thing it is much worse, especially come draft time

I am so ready for something to be done with the scouts. I don't know if the star system would work better, if there's sliders that can be adjusted or what. The differences are just way to much.

Star system sucks. I have not seen any kind of slider that adjusts the variances in scouts.

It's been bad before, and people have been fine. I think it's more of a confirmation bias when 2 guys who usually trade a lot end up with differences because one of them gets a new scout and all of a sudden it seems like they can't find a middle ground. Not saying that is or isn't what happened to Wasted, I think that's why we see it pop of from random people here and there.

And the trade pool has dried up to about 4 guys the more we turnover it seems so theres that.

Also, less injuries means less need to make changes on the fly, which means less needs for trade.

Lol, just obsessed with injuries.
There has been 14 trades in October. It is the afternoon of the 11th. I think we will survive.
