Zimmerman, 2, and 3 for Kemp and A-Rod should have been the deal in the first place.

Ding.

Also, Jennings just got the call.

TRADE TRADE TRADE

Sportsguy trades Albert Pujols and his 7th round pick to DevSop
DevSop trades Mike Moustakas, his 2nd and 10th round picks to SG

[Sportsguy]

confirm

[Jack Quinn]

you're giving up a 7th? Why? Moustakas a 2 and 10 for Albert should be the deal

[DevSop]

Because that wasn't the trade we worked out.

I love how we have a crew that protests every trade and tells us how it should be done.

[Jack Quinn]

I love how we seem to do a lot of shitty trades in this league. I guess once you drop out of contention silly things like fair trades don't matter

[Attitude Adjuster]

I was really hoping Moose's first post had the sarcasm meter turned up. Apparently not. Lighten up, Francis.

[Jack Quinn]

a shitty trade is a shitty trade

So, I was barely online at all during my vacation last week and just now saw this thread and the ruling on Zimmerman. Needless to say, I'm not happy about it. This trade is no different than any of the ones we've made in the past involving PTBNL. With ESPN, you have to include players to make a trade, so those two guys were throw ins that I have no intention of keeping. The trade WE agreed to involved a PTBNL. If you are going to veto it, then open up the trade deadline and we'll spell the deal out for you - ARod and Kemp for a 2, 3, and Zimmerman after the season is over. If you want to make a rule about PTBNL, that's fine. But make it going forward. Don't make it retroactive to a trade that's already happened.

See, this is just one big misunderstanding. You misunderstood our trade and we misunderstood your message. Tabata and Ludwick were guys I was going to drop, so I just sent those over. The PTBNL is Ryan Zimmerman, FWIW. Plus, I don't know how you could take two men as a PTBNL. If that was the case, as a grammar junkie, I would've said PLAYERS to be named later.

Basically, this is one big misunderstanding and I think it should go on as stated by me and agreed to by Pun.

I'm just going to go ahead and quote this since it seems like nobody decided to read it when I first posted it...

There will be a closed door meeting at the C&B offices regarding this.

For shits and giggles, AA and myself may start handing out fines to fund our (his) gambling budgets.

I read it. I just chose to ignore it since a decision was already rendered by the C&B Board. Whatcha gonna do--fire us? We're already fired! Fire us? We're already fired! ABUSE...OF...POWER!!

I have no qualms with Zimmerman going to Pun after the season is over. That loophole will be closed for all trades going forward.

No players to be named later will be permitted in any trade. All players change teams immediately. The only post-transaction activity I see as valid is conditional draft picks in the case one team wins the title or some such wording (i.e. I trade a #1 for Lincecum but AA gets that pick AND a #8 if I win the title. Or AA trades a #5 for David Price, but that pick becomes a #2 if AA makes the playoffs. Etc.)
