In a 30 team league, how does it happen that such a small number of people control all the trades? Shouldn't it take a majority? % is not a majority in a 30 team league.

I manage leagues myself and in my opinion in 25 years of fanatasy sports, allowing a small few to veto deals is not a good thing.

And it's always the same people who are doing the vetoing. That's just not fair in any way shape or form and ruins the enjoyment of such a deep and complicated league and I feel is the real reason so many owners are quitting and have to be replaced each year. Over 20 of them since I joined in March.

This 5 team trade would never, ever be allowed in MLB and shouldn't be allowed here either. And these are the same owners who always block anyone else from trading...unless of course it's with one of them.

My trade was unfairly vetoed. A simple little deal that would not change the league power structure at all and yet 5 teams just swapped their entire rosters, all their draft picks, tons of cash both from the salary cap and the international monies, but my little deal and several others who are not members of this "inner circle" get vetoed for so many petty reasons all hidden behind the statement "equal value".

We cannot have these same 5 people controlling the trades. It's simply unfair and is the definition of collusion.

Again, the same people making all the trades, voting to pass each other's trades and vetoing everyone else's deals. This is two Milb guys for a top reliever. How is this "equal value"? I'm not "spewing anything. What's the difference in this trade and mine? Just who's involved and that's about it.

Your entire premise is whiny BS.  You have no actual baseball related reason to reject the trade, a trade you already said you didn't understand.  The simplicity or complexity of a trade isn't a just cause for a veto. 

You're flat out vetoing a trade in revenge for your trade being vetoed for being judged lopsided despite the fact nobody involved in this trade vetoed your trade.  That's just petty and childish.

My "baseball related reason" is that this trade would never fly in MLB. The peple involved in this trade are the only oes vetoing my fdeal.

You have Pittsburgh trading his entire MLB roster for draft-picks and some cash. I'm sure that now when I take an even deeper look into it, I'll find plenty more wrong with this deal.

One group of people controlling the trades will ruin this league and is the major reason why so many people quit. This happened last season and here we go again. Some old $hit.

A guy who's scoring 360 points right now plus cash for a couple of AA guys? How is that even? Three years from now they might help compared to Grilli right now?

This is the 3rd trade that I have attempted in this league in less than a year that is getting shot down. I have only been able to execute one trade in this league and that was with the league manager.

Other than that, nothing. A simple little trade like this gets picked aprt to tthe point of exhaustion, but yet 5 teams each traded most of their rosters, all of their draft picks and cash on top of international money...and it just passes right through????

That's B.S..

386
I approve this trade because both teams have justified their think on why they are making their teams better.

Also, you shouldn't veto because you don't like the deal or that you're 'saving someone from themselves'. Who knows what's going to happen. Simmons can go back to the minors after a sophomore slump and Jose can get TJ surgery and get lost on the doldrums of MLB.  Vetoing is for collusion.

I agree whole-heartedly. And thank you.

All we are talking about is Pittsburgh. How do any of the other teams benefit from this trade? I have a simple deal getting vetoed but here we have this behemoth that everyone is just fine and tidy with?

Welcome to the league Chris!  :toth:

389
I don't know if you'd consider me or not, but I'd be interested, especially being from Boston. Are those leagues dynasty leagues similar in for mat to this one?

I didn't say I couldn't understand it, I just don't want to bother to take the time unless it's going to be upheld as even being legal, let alone fair.

I'm not trying to threaten anyone into doing anything, just stating the obvious that if you are going to be so critical of other's deals don't be surprised if it comes back at you.

That's human nature. I'm not trying to be argumentative, just stating the obvious.
