It will be interesting to see if Dan settles a bit on the players he wants.  For example, say a deal is made for Hamilton and Rasmus, he could always find ways to acquire other former players of his or comparable guys.

Colb I really do appreciate your enthusiasm but I think it is obvious that this isn't happening. I've already lowered my demands by letting go of Belt and Stewart, plus taking on all of the Reds dead money, but I'm not going any lower. Now that prospects have been completely devalued by the league, despite previously being used as currency, I am not going any further with this. I'll keep my team as is. Hopefully we can find a suitable GM to take over the team.Thanks again.

No problem Dan... can't blame a Commish for trying!  With that said, we may have some replacement GMs for the Halos and Metropolitans.

chiming in on Dan's situation:  I am not for it.  Corey was accurate in that it would set bad precedent.  Also the implications are too large at this point in the league.  We should have no problem filling the open spots with quality gm's and they will be able to make the difficult choices to better the team, or not...that's the beauty in the league.  We have a set of circumstances that we shouldn't mess with no matter how badly we'd like to.  It would affect too many other teams realistically.  If Dan goes to NY it should be as is with no incentives.  Otherwise I'd like consideration to move my roster to that salary cap!  Who has the priority in that situation.  I'm sure many other GM's would also consider this same option and some might do it for less genuine reasons than their love for a team.

I support both of the managers nominated by Colby!

You could have a whole roster of Jack Hannah's then... :thumbsup:

Guys,

This is just my two cents on the topic even though I am obviously not in either of the divisions involved in the proposed trade or a member of the TC.

1.  As much as I would like to give Dan the Mets for both his sake and the sake of the league, I have to agree with some earlier voices of concern that this creates a bad precedent going forward.  I am fully in favor of the system we have used in the past that allows owners to take over vacant teams if they have done their 1 year.  I am not in favor of creating special rules on the fly to force this to happen.  I just think it opens up too big a can of worms for other owners who also would like to work out sweet deals to swap franchises if and when they are vacant.  Also, as Colby previously mentioned, we already have the Retro League where some of the GMs here can enjoy their home teams.

2.  To me, this proposal hints at a big problem in this league.  I don't want to point fingers at the TC or anyone, but I privately voiced concerns to Colby about some of the deals approved in the past.  Certain teams like the Mets now appear to be in disarray from both a talent and cap perspective.  I know that we want to extend owners a wide range of freedom in choosing how to run their teams, but maybe we should try to be a little more critical in the type of trades that we allow to get approved.  An owner can ruin a team in a dynasty league, especially one with a salary cap, in a very short time and fixing the team could take years.

Sorry Dan and Colby that I could not be enthusiastic about this idea!
