Another Trade

[bbgarnett]

Yahoo Keeper league H2H 12 teams 2 divisions 7X7 Cats

I get

Albert Pujols

Hanley Ramirez

Miguel Sano

I give

Kris Bryant

Jose Bautista

He said he has interest in Julio Urias if I would be willing to trade him and feel free make him a counter if I didn't like this deal. So my first reaction is no to this deal and that maybe counter the same but swap out Ramirez for Braun and then add Prince Fielder to my side.

So I get Braun, Pujols and Sano and give up Brynat, Fielder and Bautista

this is like the 15th to 20th different trade he's offered me, you can check my previous thread and I finally just said to him no thank you I do not want to make any trades right now so he stopped for like 2 weeks. I mean he must just like trading as he's already make 10 different trades this year one of them being an 8 player deal 4 from each side.

No. Just no. I wouldn't trade Bautista alone for that return. And I wouldn't consider Braun vs. Bryant anywhere near equal value. Just move along.

OK thought so and so I counted him with Rasmus and a 17th rd pick for Gattis and a 19th rd pick which he said no and countered back with Pujols and Gattis for Fielder and Bautista which he said I think were close with this one. LOL not really sure what to do at this point because also in my counter I said I really don't want to trade anyone or at least any of my bigger guys such as Bryant. That was like the 3rd or 4th time I have said something similar and usually I just decline but he just keeps coming back with more offers. So I was like fine I will counter you back with this smaller deal and if you agree then fine if not then lets be done but it's seems to be getting a little crazy with the amount trade offers at this point. the other thing to is this guy is in 2nd place yet he has blown up his team so much this year already with the 10 different trades he's made.

I've had guys like that in some of my leagues. I like how you tried for a smaller deal though, by his reply it shows that all he cares about is getting Bautista/Bryant for cheep. There is no one right way to deal with them. Just make sure you don't get pressured into making a bad deal.

[Zorro]

He clearly wants Bautista, don't sell low!!

[bbgarnett]

OK well hopefully he's done offering me trades for those guys but he has also really wanted to pry Julio Urias from me and keeps sending me messages asking if I'd trade him which I keep saying no. But today he asked if I would Take David Price or someone else for Urias. He has Jose Fernandez and so if I could do Fernandez for Urias straight up would that be fair as I don't think Price for Urias straight up is a good deal for me.

[Eskimo Brother]

I would definitely do Urias for Fernandez if I could.

[Bass56]

No. Just no. I wouldn't trade Bautista alone for that return. And I wouldn't consider Braun vs. Bryant anywhere near equal value. Just move along.

Exactly my thinking! Stick with your guys.

As for the other deal, I like Urias as well; Price, not so much!

[bbgarnett]

OK well I'll see if I can get Fernandez for Urias.

Also he has now offered me Starlin Castro and Hanley Ramirez for my Dustin Pedroia which again I think is a no. Let alone he has just made his like 11th trade on the year trading Francisco lindor for Mikael Franco. so he is really trade happy but yet everything he seems to offer me doesn't seem to be a good deal.

[bbgarnett]

Ok well I asked if he'd do my Urias for his Fernandez straight up and he said he he do Urias and my 1st rd draft pick for Fernandez and his 2nd rd draft pick.

[bbgarnett]

Well I offered him Urias for Fernandez and while he wanted to also add a swap of my 1st and his 2nd I said no I'd only do 1 For 1 which he ended up accepting.

That's a nice deal. Good job being patient with him.

[MacLiii]

That's a very good trade that you finally made. Never would have done his initial offer.

[bbgarnett]

alright thanks and well now he has also just flipped Urias and made a deal for Max Scherzer so he did Julio Urias and Jake Lamb to another guy for Max Scherzer

Your league has some very interesting managers...
