I love trades. However most people do not like making them,...or they are bound by the salary cap.
I am in an 80 million dollar league playing in Kauffman. I traded Shane Victorino,and Brandon Phillips for Alex Rios and Kaz Matsui(players I received in trade). Does anyone have an opinion on this trade? Did I make the right move for my stadium? Thanks for any opinions!

I cant stand leagues where there is no interaction among managers.

amen!

I am going to start looking for leagues with you gentlemen in it because I have pretty much givin up on posting messages or offer trades in leagues. It is almost like saying something in an empty room and expecting a response . Whatever happened to guys who liked to mix it up do some trash talking and make a bold roster move??? I am in leagues with guys whose teams are 30 games below .500 and they are guarding their rosters like any series now the big turnaround is going to happen. :lol:

For all who want a talkative league, come join the," Frenzy 420 League". It is a brand new public league with 11 spots open. It is ATG3v2,DH,frenzy,80million,20% drop! Please come join; no password and all are welcome!!!!!

Loobee, I know how you feel. I think what happens is the managers of the teams that are 30 games below .500 no longer pay attention or check in with their teams. I would be trying to make the record as good as possible for the overall manager rating but I guess a lot of guys don't care.

Its not so much the guy does not want to deal, thats cool with me. It is when the offer is read and then stays open without being accepted or declined, it leaves me stranded in limbo. I hate being in Limbo .

Loobe,
I agree with you. Nobody has to trade or accept an offer. But at least they can reply(so you are not left in limbo). Hey if anyone wants to join a ATG3v2 ,80 million,DH,Frenzy,20 percent drop league,please sign up. I love making trades(if the offer is right for BOTH teams). The league is called,"Frenzy 420 League"(no password require, all are welcome).

When I get stranded in limbo on the trade offers, I rescind the trade. I encourage trades by announcing who I plan to cut, set a deadline for an offer, and pretty much accept any trade offer for someone I was going to cut anyway. Often am surprised by the fact that my trash is often someone else's treasure. :D
