Forum and fan trades
And still the only forum poster to ever post a trade that actually ended up happening was Leadoff in the old Times Forum when he suggested Carlos Silva for Milton Bradley and it came to pass.
Sorry guys, but I have to cackle every time I see y'all posting trade ideas that the other side would laugh at.

Re: Forum and fan trades
I think the group here actually does a decent job with hypothetical trades. The baseball trade values thing has probably helped with that.

Considering that the Mariners have only made the playoffs 1 time in the past 23 years... I take pride knowing that the people who actually do this for living are worse at it than I am.DavidGee24 wrote: ↑Sat Dec 28, 2024 2:50 amAnd still the only forum poster to ever post a trade that actually ended up happening was Leadoff in the old Times Forum when he suggested Carlos Silva for Milton Bradley and it came to pass.

Re: Forum and fan trades
You literally just eye-rolled someone who was 100% correct with a 0% margin of error. But, what can one expect from the guy who posted this and got roasted by Darren:Pharmabro wrote: ↑Sat Dec 28, 2024 6:38 amDavidGee24 wrote: ↑Sat Dec 28, 2024 2:50 amAnd still the only forum poster to ever post a trade that actually ended up happening was Leadoff in the old Times Forum when he suggested Carlos Silva for Milton Bradley and it came to pass.

Re: Forum and fan trades
Of course they have, because I haven't posted any. Ever. Frankly, there isn't a trade idea that I could think up right now that I think would actually happen.Bil522 wrote: ↑Sat Dec 28, 2024 10:35 amOf course yours have been equally as misinformed as the rest of us mere mortalsDavidGee24 wrote: ↑Sat Dec 28, 2024 2:50 amAnd still the only forum poster to ever post a trade that actually ended up happening was Leadoff in the old Times Forum when he suggested Carlos Silva for Milton Bradley and it came to pass.

But I'll try it anyway: D-Mo and Haniger to the Royals for Bobby Witt, Jr. and cash considerations.

Re: Forum and fan trades
You do have a point there. Pretty much all of us would have come up with better ideas that were doable than what we got for Robbie Ray.Seattle or Bust wrote: ↑Sat Dec 28, 2024 8:25 pmConsidering that the Mariners have only made the playoffs 1 time in the past 23 years...

Re: Forum and fan trades
A lot of those trades on the trade values app are head-scratchers, especially when you see mid-level prospects involved like the value is in shedding payroll for guys who might never set foot on an MLB ballfield.
