Trade policy report

Plus, Corey himself recently complained when another owner didn't respond to his trade offer. And it is not like I sent only one message, I sent at least three expressing great interest and being open to negotiations. I expected at least an answer before he dealt all those players away...

I could give a crap less if Mike responds to my offers. I posted that so Mike would read it and view it. Because Mike has went 2+ weeks without signing into profsl 4 times since Jan 1 and he went 20 days without signing into fantrax. But that isnt a violation in our conduct, so I had to use the trade thing to make it more of a big deal. Im pretty sure no owner in this league expects a response from him.

Im sorry the Yanks offer was better than yours daniel.

[Mr.TradeKing]

I believe I have received 1-2 PMs from Mike during my time here(and most of ya'll know how much I send PMs/trade). Both of those were obviously after I initiated the conversation (I wouldn't call it a negotiation that's for sure). I usually don't get a response out of Doug and Chad (Clidwin) usually responds after 4-5 days haha.

Corey, this is not about whose offer is better or worse. And you don't even know how much I was willing to give up for one of those players because you never even answered.  It is about the lack of response and the existing bias towards your previous team's players.

Yeah... there is so much interest on A-Rod in the trade block discussion that I'm sure he had hundreds of offers as good as that one lined up.

u r correct if u r not interested in something soon i will move on AND WILL find someone who is sorry. im not patient i run my team just like george would thats just me!!!!!

Doesnt everyone have there favorite players? So yes i prefer some players over others, just like anyone else does. Your right I did not get back to you. When i read you pm saying all your specs area available, then i saw other offers I had received. I then took a look at your roster. None of your prospects measure up to Goldschmidt. I am very high on Perez as well. So with this being said I apoligize for not pming you saying no thanks.

Back to the regards of me being biased on former players, you can say that about anything. If you asked Aubrey who he would rather have Heyward or Rasmus or Upton who would he say.... (sorry Aubrey for putting you out there) So yes i prefer Goldschmidt over a lot of specs. Thats why I went to Omar with Michael Young, asking for Goldschmidt.

This doesnt make me biased. Everyone has favorites, its part of sports. 

[Mr.TradeKing]

I would personally take Jake's mom.  :taco: (sorry Jake for putting you out here)

Yeah, but you are paying for Goldschmidt like he was a phenom such as Bryce Harper. He hasn't even played AAA ball yet, was not even ranked as a top 100 prospect and struck out 161 times in A-ball.  Yes his numbers are pretty impressive, but he is very young and unproven.

Daniel,

I understand how you feel, because I also inquired about Beltran, but I don't think Corey did anything wrong.  To make a real life analogy, the Padres GM Jed Hoyer made what I thought was a horrible deal with his former team, the Red Sox, for Adrian Gonzalez.  Hoyer liked Anthony Rizzo and Casey Kelly more than some other people did, so he made the deal even though critics said he should have held out for MLB guys like Ellsbury and Bard.  Corey has a man-crush on Goldschmidt, and that is his prerogative.
