Tony, if the game were to go off the rails a bit and offer you way more value in a trade than you thought was correct, would you accept?

No, I wouldn't. I shopped Jose Rondon around and got a crazy offer of a top closer for some reason and didn't accept the trade.

Getting back Aquino is pretty good. 
 

Where do you expect the 3 pitchers to start?

Gutierrez is going Bowie and the other two were sent to Norfolk. DeLeon is on the 40-man roster so he could be in the mix for a promotion in long relief.

I liked getting Aquino.  Well done.

There were a ton of offers for Sisco, but Aquino seemed to have the most upside. Once I realized I could get some of the C+ arms with some ability to stretch out by trading away Bleier and Lakins, both of who did not have very high stamina ratings.

OOTP has several settings for trade difficulty.  I think many/most players set it to "Hard" and "Favor Prospects".  Which means you're going to have to work at it to get anyone to even consider your 29-year-old regular second baseman for any kind of decent prospects.  And as a GM you will get multiple offers every week for what appear to be stupid trades, like a 33-year-old one-star outfielder and a Grade C- prospect, for your setup guy who has 11 K/9. (Say, 2016 Nolan Reimold and Mike Wright for Brad Brach).  To the point where I don't even open many trade offers, I just delete them.

But you can still get in situations where you get what you think is a really good deal.  In my mind I don't mind an occasional deal that looks like its in my favor after being presented with 100 that made no sense for me at all.

The trade offers on the fantasy leagues were too funny sometimes. Its like they are hoping you didnt read that Kershaw has bad elbow and its out for the season, not to mention, there is an injury icon next to his name. They are hoping you would just accept the offer. And dont depend on your co-manager to vote against bad trades, like Chris Davis of 2019 for Mookie Betts of 2019, that some clown got the guy to agree to.

Yep, I'm not sure if I have ever accepted a computer started trade unless I altered the deal significantly.

      She’s awful.  I wouldn’t take anything she says to mean anything.

      This Twitter thread is interesting. A lot of things track. I generally think she doesn’t know much but she does seem to know people around the team. She’s also been a Hyde defender.

      I feel like they did it to entice pitchers on short-term deals to come here and now have their stats blow up.

      Who will pay Burnes $400M this offseason?

      By Just Regular · Posted

      Here was the Wheeler extension from this past spring - he is finishing 2024 under the terms of his original 2020-2024 contract, so these are guarantees Middleton and Dombrowski made blind to whether Wheeler would hit any health bumps in 2024. Wheeler 5.30.1990 is 4 plus years older than Burnes 10.22.1994, but has a ton more October achievement, including 7 shutout innings this afternoon.    30 Swings and Misses!!! 3 years/$126M (2025-27) signed extension with Philadelphia 3/4/24 25:$42M, 26:$42M, 27:$42M

      Elias: It's on me

      By Sports Guy · Posted

      It wasn’t Cowser and Ortiz for Burnes..it was Cease.  And at that time, they did have to give that to get him, clearly. I never wanted to lose Urias for nothing. And yea, I wanted to trade some of our vets and play the kids…and put more emphasis on the pitching staff. I wanted Hays gone and wanted Mounty gone.   And it was definitely you but whatever.

      I don't remember those conversations.  I pegged them at 90-95 wins in the poll, so there's no way I wouldn't have believed they could win 88 games.  Which of course they didn't, even with the injuries and underperformance. The biggest thing I remember arguing with you about last off-season was that we didn't need to give Ortiz and Cowser up to get Burnes and it would be foolish to give up them both.  I specifically argued that we didn't need to trade Ortiz as we could find a place for him to play, specifically citing the likelihood of injury. I really think you're thinking about somebody else.  I'm also not sure why you think you were one of the voices arguing for "depth" as you were willing to lose Mateo and Urias for basically nothing, and they both contributed to this team and were a bulwark against injury/underperformance.  You were willing to trade Cowser and where would we have been without him? This team's performance this year was well within the boundaries of what I expected, if a bit on the lower end.  The only thing confusing to me about it was what happened to Rutschman. That said, my "confusion" is what is the best path forward.

      I think he’s getting somewhere around $180 million
