New trade up:
Altuve, Munoz, and F. Cruz for McLain, Abbott, and C. Smith.
FWIW - after exploring other options, Trader offered me that deal and I accepted.
That’s an awful deal.
Altuve (4th round pick) PLUS the highest ranked closer in fantasy for sub-.200 hitting Matt McLain (6th rounder), a NON-CLOSER in Cade Smith, and a waiver wire pitcher?
1. Traded… dude, c’mon. What are you doing?
2. Full disclosure - I’ve vetoed for now.
I can’t see any justification for this trade.
For real, I don’t get how he’s pulling off these deals. Does he have some kind of Jedi mind trick on these guys?

His other options include offering me a trade for four minutes and then canceling.

You missed out on the opportunity to trade Bobby Witt for McClain + Gausman.

Trader will have to explain his exact reasoning, but I expect part of it has to with how good Abbott (Yahoo ranks him 86th most valuable so far - 1.77 ERA, 1.16 WHIP, 4 wins, 2 QS, and 45 K in 40 2/3 IP) has been. He may possibly be figuring in that Altuve's xBA (.232) and xSLG (.354) don't necessarily bode well (McLain's are xBA .217 and xSLG .399).

He can only trade with whoever is willing to make a trade.

Is a four-minute window typically the amount of time you offer and allow someone to decide on that offer?

I probably just re-thought it if I wanted to see how other offers I had out played out first.
If you liked the idea, you could turn around and offer it back to me. I don't even recall what it was.

Then don’t send the offer in the first place. That’s what the evaluate trade button is for.

As noted, we had explored other combinations. This is the combination he wanted.
I think Kris Bubic wasn't drafted. Are we going to say that he can't be traded for anyone of value?

You’re trading guys with little value for players with value. What sense does it make for him to swap Munoz for Smith?

I don’t think that’s normally how people make deals. Also the players were then involved in another deal immediately, so I couldn’t do that.
I’m just saying man, it’s a very weird way of operating.
