Goaltending is going to sink me.

Not too many trades in this league.

I need Campbell to keep playing like that so I stop dropping in the WTPDL standings.

Now my draft is done.

Ah well in that case I do have one more lol

I thought I had one more pick to use but my farm is at 14.

Huge trade, I’ve wanted Rantanen for a while!

I’m going to keep going as long as we can. Whether it be that we have to keep cutting dead weight and trying to find new managers or restructure.

Yeah there’s a couple black holes, but still some good activity from others. Not hard to check once a day to set rosters.

I’m fine with whatever is easier!

You can make a queue of players and turn on auto-draft if you’re away from your phone for a while.

Looks to be Feb 26

Wtf

I’d take that offer in a heartbeat.

From the Athletic, Toronto and Oakland writers discussion on what a trade between the two teams where the Jays would receive Chapman and Manaea. Lol at Oakland’s counter. McGrath: Loosely, we’re looking at a four-for-two player deal. I can work with that. For Chapman and Manaea, how about the Blue Jays offer a package of: 3B Jordan Groshans C Alejandro Kirk LHP Ricky Tiedemann 3B/UT Kevin Smith Groshans is a top-five prospect in Toronto’s system and, as I said above, could project to take Chapman’s place at third base in a year or two. He’s likely slated for Triple A this season. Kirk could be a starting catcher on an MLB team. The only reason the Blue Jays might be willing to move him is that they have, potentially, a better catching prospect in Gabriel Moreno coming down the pipe. The A’s have Sean Murphy, I know, but Kirk has a lot of utility as a DH, too. Tiedemann is a 19-year-old rising pitching prospect who’s seen a recent uptick in velocity, per Baseball America. And, finally, after falling down the prospect ladder a bit in recent years, Smith had a breakout 2021 season in Triple A. His brief showing in the majors was modest, but he’s got a lot of utility as a versatile infielder who can play a little outfield as well. What do you think? Lockard: Groshans controls the strike zone well, which would fit the A’s philosophically, although you’d like to see a bit more power from a player more likely to play third base than shortstop long term. But potentially I see a fit. The A’s do need catching depth behind Murphy, but I think they liked how Murphy paired with the veteran Yan Gomes the second half of last season, so I am guessing they’ll look to the free agent market when targeting a backup catcher. Generally, the A’s have looked for pitchers who are further along in their development than Tiedemann is currently, although there have been exceptions. Smith’s versatility and production in Triple A last season certainly make him a candidate for an “extra” piece in this deal. If the A’s trade Manaea, they are pretty thin in upper-level starters, so I could see them targeting some starting pitching that could be ready in 2022. What about something more like this? Groshans Smith UT Otto Lopez (has the defensive versatility the A’s really like, plus batting titles at two different full-season leagues and excellent speed) RHP Bowden Francis (coming off a strong season in Triple A; could step into a back-end of the rotation role in the big leagues in 2022) LHP Zach Logue (left-hander who performed well in the upper levels last season. Excellent command and saw a bump in velocity last season. Could contribute at the big-league level in 2022)

But I want to go back to back in BBDL!

Bowden on The Athletic is reviewing trade offers readers are sending in for players that are potentially on the block. Here’s the Blue Jays related one: Rockies trade RHP German Márquez and INF Ryan McMahon to Blue Jays for RHP Nate Pearson, SS Jordan Groshans, RHP Adam Kloffenstein and INF/OF Cavan Biggio — Chris W. Chris, this is a fascinating trade idea and after careful review I’d make it if I’m the Blue Jays. Putting Márquez with Kevin Gausman, José Berríos, Hyun Jin Ryu and Alek Manoah in the rotation would make the Blue Jays my favorites to win the AL East in 2022. McMahon would fill their huge need for a left-handed bat and could be their answer at third base short- and long-term. I also like this deal for the Rockies. Pearson has a chance to dominate at Coors Field by missing bats, and he’s inexpensive compared with Márquez. Groshans and Biggio are everyday players and Kloffenstein profiles as a back-of-the-rotation starter. OK, let me forward this one to the Blue Jays and Rockies to get their opinions

Replace Ritchie with Kane!

Tyson Barrie and my 3rd available for a pick upgrade. Would switch the 3rd for a 2nd if a 1st came my way.

6 games for Spezza seems heavy based on his character and track record.

What would a Kershaw trade look like in regards of prospect range with or without picks to make a deal?

Do we need to fill two owner positions now?

We talked prospects at the deadline.

But I was going to trade Altuve to you!

Ronald Guzman was an Ace pick, I was pushing for Eloy Jimenez I believe.
