please vote on who should get Bauer
Our NL only keeper league allows teams losing players in trades like this to acquire the player coming back.
This Puig trade is obviously a head-scratcher as there are two "victims."
One team contending for title in 2019 owns Puig (on a $27 2nd year of 3 year contract, earning $25 in our 4x4 format according to my value calculator) and a rival for 2019 title owns Reyes ($10, 2nd of 3 year contract, earning $14 according to same calculator).
We're supposed to work this out between us, and if we can't then it goes to an arbitration panel. I guess we're each going to try to argue that one of his is the greater victim and deserves Bauer.
Team one argues that Puig is greater loss and most damaging to title run, and that the whole point of compensation is to protect against current-year devastating losses.
Team two says Reyes a bigger loss because contract value more useful long-term.
Who should get Bauer?
