Felix + AJ Pollock (later traded with prospects for Cespedes + Kalhoun, Kalhoun flipped for Gattis and then flipped for Healy).
So current assets from that trade are essentially Felix, Cespedes, Healy.
Looking to move some or all of these guys. My asking price for closers is a mid-late 1st round pick or equivalent prospect.
Felix Hernandez
Danny Valencia
Keon Broxton
Hernan Perez
Darren O'Day
Brad Brach
Tony Watson
Sam Dyson
Because Shapiro is a money-grubbing prick who changed last year's policy. Last year, there was an optional refund for unplayed games. This year, they "automatically" apply it as a credit to your season ticket purchase. How lucky for you! Even if you aren't a season ticket buyer. Now you are. See how that works?
The bet was career WAR between Almora and Winker. That's a valid wager on Almora's defense alone. I'd still make that bet because Winker is completely useless defensively and has a lot less power than you hoped. I'm not sure when you last checked, but Almora turned in a solid rookie campaign with about 1 WAR and a 101 wRC+ in 1/3 of a season. He has 50 power and maybe a 55 bat, the only thing he doesn't do is walk.
Buxton? I owned Buxton years before you. If I call him a bust, it's just to get under your skin. I like his talent and a BJ Upton career arc is still in play. I hope you realize by now that my entire Almora campaign was facetious trolling. He's ok as a depth piece in a 30 team league where he can be a Pillar-like contributor, but I would never own him in a 20 team league.
It's pretty insulting to JD that anybody else would even be discussed as team MVP. Without JD, Sanchez' breakout would be entirely irrelevant because the Jays would have been a .500 team.
You sure hated Lindor. You poo-pooed Seager. I'm not sure who else we've really disagreed on. I was the only one backing Bird when you acquired him and the rest of the league called you a fool.
