Hey guys, Sorry I've been a little MIA lately - I've been working crazy hours at work, and just haven't had the time to check in. I have a few thoughts: 1) Bwanna, I don't think it was necessary for you to pull out of the trade, but thank you for taking the high road nonetheless. 2) It was extremely lopsided, but the last thing we need to do is to have someone whose new to the league getting fried for their original decisions. Sportsguy made more than his share of questionable decisions in his time, which is now that team wound up in that position in the first place, so I don't blame him for trying tp purge it and form his team how he wants. With that said, he still should have asked for more, even if he didn't want those players. 3) Let's all try to calm down a bit. I know tempers are high and it's tough with a few new owners, but this has been a great league with very little controversy for many years, and there's no need to overreact. No one should be quitting a league over a trade like this, whether or not it goes through. New guys - please note that this is very abnormal for this league. 4) Yes, Bwanna's team is good, but that's cyclical. Up until a couple years ago, Cougs and I were ahead, and now he's done a good job at pulling ahead. We shouldn't be upset at him for doing a good job at acquiring players. If you're worried that he always gets the better end of deals, be extra careful in trading with him. This is supposed to be fun! Let's get back to the drafting, trading, etc. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bYJMtn6IJeE

I may not get a chance to get on over the weekend and wanted to get this out there. Trade between Gin Andrus (Will) and myself. I told him he needs to reply with a confirmation after this post. Bwanna, I assume you have to do the tweaking of the rosters since Giolito is a farm player.
Gin Andrus gives Chris Sale Omaha gives Mark Teixeira and Lucas Giolito
