Laika Community Moderator Posted January 31, 2020 Posted January 31, 2020 Shocking that no Ohtani deal could be reached with the names being thrown around. Senseless. Back to YahoO! Mutiny! Abolish BORED!
Carlos Danger Old-Timey Member Posted January 31, 2020 Posted January 31, 2020 So is an Ohtani deal imminent? EZE is/has been at the Phoenix open all this week and I don't think he has time to work on trades...
P2F Old-Timey Member Posted February 1, 2020 Posted February 1, 2020 I'm no longer in this league, but I do feel compelled to chime in on the fact that the Syndergaard for Pohtani offer - which is favourable for the Syndergaard side, by the way - wasn't accepted for the betterment and streamlining of the league is pretty s*****, imo. Even if you're not aboard the Syndergaard train, you could easily flip him for a nice little haul. You won't get a better offer than that unless, say, Carlos Danger overpays. Merging the two assets is absolutely vital for the league to function properly next season.

I looked if I could help out in a three-way.., However, one side doesn't really have anything I am attracted to for the price..

I only included that part based on the last few messages that suggested you may have been seriously interested.

I would have not received a half or whole or nada Ohtani
Spanky99 Old-Timey Member Posted February 1, 2020 Posted February 1, 2020 EZE is/has been at the Phoenix open all this week and I don't think he has time to work on trades... Damn... I'm jelly.
Jimcanuck Old-Timey Member Posted February 1, 2020 Posted February 1, 2020 Looking at various website rankings, Syndergaard has the overall consensus edge over POhtani. As others have said, the deal is weighted heavily to the POhtani side. But who knows what POhtani does, he's still very much a wildcard (more than pitchers go). I know EZE rates POhtani very high. He could be right. Maybe some conditional compensation depending on performance is in order. Even overall rankings, where Ohtani value as both hitter and pitcher considered, Syndergaard comes out ahead in 2 of the 3 lists below (due to coming back from injury, no doubt). Pitcher Ranking Razzball - Syndergaard 36, Ohtani not yet ranked (>60) Rotoballer - Ohtani 24, Syndergaard 27 Fangraphs (Sporer) - Ohtani 43, Syndergaard 18 Fantrax - Syndergaard (Tier 5), Ohtani (Tier 7) Overall Ranking Fantasypros - Ohtani 45, Syndergaard 32 ESPN - Syndergaard 63, Ohtani 42 CBS - Ohtani 65, Syndergaard 51

Because this is a keeper league..
TheHurl Site Manager Posted February 1, 2020 Posted February 1, 2020 Considering I like Ohtani and don't care about my roster in this league. Why don't the 2 Ohtani parties work out something with my roster involved and I will just blindly accept it. In exchange for this good deed to the league. I automatically win every lottery we I am involved in for the next 3 seasons (including getting first pick in any dispersal draft I decide to participate in).

Honestly, based on what Dinger was willing to give up + the price Eze is asking i'm not sure you have the assets. Could be wrong though.

Could be wrong though. I suppose. My team of a shitload of top 200 assets but zero top 50 assets doesn't get it done the way they are rating Ohtani (which is interesting as Ohtani isn't a top 50 asset himself). The best part is that as I tried to dismantle my team I've started to like them more. Chris Sale is now my favourite player just because everyone else criminally underrates him because they are concerned about 2025, when they won't have any players from their current team anyway. My offer still stands if they can find enough multiple assets to get this done, then do it.

Redsox will be alright with it since they'll decide to mail in the season since they've traded Betts so they can re-set their tax bracket.

jays4life19 Old-Timey Member Posted February 2, 2020 Posted February 2, 2020 Let’s make a deal motorboat us with offers.
Jimcanuck Old-Timey Member Posted February 2, 2020 Posted February 2, 2020 DiPoto says the Mariners are not averse to promoting J-Rod to MLB this year if he earns it. I'm looking forward to a Soto-Robles-J-Rod OF.
Carlos Danger Old-Timey Member Posted February 3, 2020 Posted February 3, 2020 My last hope is Carlos Danger I have a faint concept in mind that might, might work for these guys and me... I am open to making Springer available and maybe one or two more pieces to make something happen if I could get back some targets. Dinger, let me know if you are open to this? EZE already rogered up.
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted February 3, 2020 Posted February 3, 2020 I am assuming I get Springer here, otherwise you wouldn’t be asking. That I would be open to.

Carlos Danger Old-Timey Member Posted February 4, 2020 Posted February 4, 2020 Dinger.. Roll over and press the button man..LOL
The Cats Ass Old-Timey Member Posted February 4, 2020 Posted February 4, 2020 Dinger getting a comp pick here?
BTS Community Moderator Posted February 4, 2020 Posted February 4, 2020 Dinger getting a comp pick here? nope
The Cats Ass Old-Timey Member Posted February 4, 2020 Posted February 4, 2020 nope I guess atleast he doesn't have to see Adam Jones on his roster anymore.
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted February 4, 2020 Posted February 4, 2020 Springer is really good. He’s a lot older than Ohtani, but I’m glad to just resolve this and move on.
