NorthOf49 Old-Timey Member Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 Yeah. I'm feeling pretty cheap right now. At least we finally came to a trade agreement that involved actual players. Hypothetical, but it still counts.

Fearthedoc Verified Member Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 So I'm guessing North displayed arms from both BTS and my teams to offer in a package for Votto?
Fearthedoc Verified Member Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 Semi-related: I really hate being involved in multi-team deals. They almost always break down, and unless you're the middle-man you're left with no idea if/when the deals you agree to will actually go through. This is why I feel no guilt if I ever go behind the middle man's back.
BTS Community Moderator Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 So I'm guessing North displayed arms from both BTS and my teams to offer in a package for Votto? I don't think it was Votto.
BTS Community Moderator Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 This is why I feel no guilt if I ever go behind the middle man's back. Dinger and I cut North out of a 3-way he engineered last offseason, lol.
NorthOf49 Old-Timey Member Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 So I'm guessing North displayed arms from both BTS and my teams to offer in a package for Votto? Nah, I was packaging Votto with one of your arms for a different player. But after learning yesterday that NJH was getting Votto I moved onto using an arm as a centrepiece for someone else. Dinger and I cut North out of a 3-way he engineered last offseason, lol. I'm just kicking myself for not agreeing to those deals on their own... was getting Chris Archer for Matt Davidson lol. Shouldn't have waited for the other parts of the deal to materialize, since that three-way component was so good.
BTS Community Moderator Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 Still shopping Morneau, looking for a SP now, 5 way trades preferable. Surprised you're having such a hard time moving him. Guy has two more years at Coors, and will probably put up pretty serious numbers.
Laika Community Moderator Posted October 21, 2014 Author Posted October 21, 2014 Nah, I was packaging Votto with one of your arms for a different player.l If you were packaging Votto, then it pretty much had to be Tulo. That or some player who hasn't been floated at all, but that's pretty unlikely considering there would only be like, 10 names.

I don't think anyone's getting Tulo, it was impossible to agree to terms with Jaysblue even though I was willing to overpay and Tulo's supposedly available.
Laika Community Moderator Posted October 21, 2014 Author Posted October 21, 2014 Yeah it was Tulo. I don't think anyone's getting Tulo, it was impossible to agree to terms with Jaysblue even though I was willing to overpay and Tulo's supposedly available. figures!
torontofan Verified Member Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 Does anyone use Tap-A-Talk mobile app for pro boards. If so how the f*** do you find our board?
Orgfiller Old-Timey Member Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 Does anyone use Tap-A-Talk mobile app for pro boards. If so how the f*** do you find our board? I don't think our board is on that, it once was IIRC but not anymore.
Orgfiller Old-Timey Member Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 Tbh, I really don't mind the regular computer layout on my phone, I find it's just as easy to navigate through, and it's much better for PM's and handing out thanks, which everyone loves. Might be annoying if your phone isn't touch screen or your screen is not big/you have large fingers like I do.
Boxcar Old-Timey Member Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 Yeah it was Tulo. I don't think anyone's getting Tulo, it was impossible to agree to terms with Jaysblue even though I was willing to overpay and Tulo's supposedly available. Oh wow, what a shocker.
BTS Community Moderator Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 Lamentably he's only under contract for 1 more year with Col, but Steamer likes him to repeat most of his great 2014. $9 million mutual option for 2016 that they'll probably pick up though.
BTS Community Moderator Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 Wow, for me Votto > Tulo. PRetty surprised Votto + good SP couldn't get it done.
jays_fever Old-Timey Member Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 Funny part is he sends out memos claiming he's almost reached a deal and people should get an offer in before its to late.
BTS Community Moderator Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 Can we get a mod to delete the last two pages before North and jaysblue have to meet at Yonge and Bloor?
Laika Community Moderator Posted October 21, 2014 Author Posted October 21, 2014 Wow, for me Votto > Tulo. PRetty surprised Votto + good SP couldn't get it done. How could you argue that Votto is better than Tulo? I just fail to see any angle on that one.
torontofan Verified Member Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 Wow, for me Votto > Tulo. PRetty surprised Votto + good SP couldn't get it done. It was supposedly more than that too

Yup, North had an offer on the table, then pulled back his original offer, coming in with a lesser offer. Plus, all the players he was mentioning were from other teams and when involving third parties, it makes things more complicated.
jaysblue Old-Timey Member Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 Can we get a mod to delete the last two pages before North and jaysblue have to meet at Yonge and Bloor? This is going to be a bloodbath lol.
jaysblue Old-Timey Member Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 Wow, for me Votto > Tulo. PRetty surprised Votto + good SP couldn't get it done. I disagree. Votto has been pretty fragile over the last three seasons as well. I prefer Tulo who plays a premium position over Votto anyday.
jaysblue Old-Timey Member Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 Me vs. North and Spanky. Bring it on
BTS Community Moderator Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 How could you argue that Votto is better than Tulo? I just fail to see any angle on that one. I guess I just have more faith in Votto getting over his thigh problem than Tulo turning in healthy seasons going forward. It seems like when players start going down the road Tulo is on, things don't really ever get better.
Abomination Old-Timey Member Posted October 21, 2014 Posted October 21, 2014 I disagree. Votto has been pretty fragile over the last three seasons as well. I prefer Tulo who plays a premium position over Votto anyday. Arguing about Votto's fragility while talking about Tulo doesn't seem wise.
