Mets & Angels GMs canned

[Colby]

The Mets and Angels GM are being let go by their respective organizations.   I have been in contact with him over the past few months about their activity.  Here is the rest of my PM to them that I don't feel like changing...

I have now noticed that either of you haven't even accessed the page on Fantrax in over a month.  This is unacceptable without notice.  I am sorry if there are issues in your life that prevent you from being active.  In such a case, feel free to reapply on the waiting list as we give others a chance to play.

Can I please choose the next Mets GM? I hate seeing the orange and blue keep falling into the wrong hands. You know like Omar Minaya's

I can run it by you.  Do you want the Mets?  We could always organize a trade that is fair and may pass the TC.

I would take the Mets but I am not leaving behind Belt, Stewart, Beckham, Hamilton, Snider, or Lind... Took me a long time to assemble these guys... I couldn't see a scenario that those players could be traded to the Mets for fair value, since the Mets lack in so many areas... if anyone has any ideas, that the league would be willing to consider, I would be more than happy to take on the kings of queens.

[Dan Wood]

and Thole... The players of value that the Mets have would instantly put Cincy in a rebuilding mode.

Trade Hats, Uniforms, and Logos. 

I think your assessment of not being able to get an "equal value" trade done is probably correct, but we will see if anyone can come up with anything. 

[Dan Wood]

It would have to be something in the realm of...

SP Archer, Chris, $0.5m (2012)
OF Beltran, Carlos, $17m (2011)
C Bethancourt, Christian, $0.5m (P-n/a)
CI Blake, Casey, $6m (2011)
C Harper, Bryce, $0.5m (P-n/a)
SP Harvey, Matt, $0.5m (P-n/a)
OF Hicks, Aaron, $0.5m (P-n/a)
OF Neal, Thomas, $0.5m (P-n/a)
MI Profar, Jurickson, $0.5m (P-n/a)
MI Sano, Miguel Jean, $0.5m (P-n/a)
CI Singleton, Jonathan, $0.5m (P-n/a)
OF Wells, Vernon, $18m (2014)
+ a huge portion of salary
SP Ranaudo, Anthony, $0.5m (P-n/a)

For

Belt
Stewart
Hamilton
Rasmus
Snider
Lind
Thole
Burnett - contract is an anchor
Beckham
OF Nieuwenhuis, Kirk, $0.5m (P-n/a)

Which leaves Cincy with an excellent system but no true talent at the MLB level outside of Beltran, Wells, Blake, Figgins, Delmon... gives them a sick MILB system with Harper who is worth his weight in gold, but still... like I said, I would be happy to do it, but not without my line up - I can build a rotation and a minor league system, but I have worked hard to obtain my guys. I also think the teams in the NL East should weigh in on this matter.

Dan really loves his Mets, so I would say if you guys can make this work do so as a reward for all of his activity and passion for FGM. And Please let me know if you guys figure out a way to make this work, because I would love to take over the Angels as long as I can keep some of my players. However, I have no issue keeping the Cubs as long as the Angels get a capable owner. Just my two cents.

[Dan Wood]

I can vouch for Kris's love of the Halos. I have to second him taking over that team, again, if possible sending some of his players that he acquired on the Cubs to LAA... The cubs are in better shape since he took over, even without the select few that he would take to the west coast with him. Plus the halos have some MLB talent to send back to the Cubs, and can take on $$$ on contracts such as Jeter, Vladdy, etc to make the deal fair.

But, I also think the GMs of the West teams need to chime in on that, since it directly effects them. Same with the guys who run the East teams. MTK, Papps, Jake, Moli... please do chime in.
