I'm going to have Reynolds, Gurriel, Suzuki, Ramos, Happ, O'Neill, L. Thomas, and O'Hearn.

Tim Anderson on waivers soon?

That's a safe bet.

FWIW - if anyone needs explanation/justification for the trades I'm making:

QV and I are trading relatively equivalent SPs (Berrios and Cortes) and swapping saves (McArthur from me to QV) for steals (L. Thomas from QV to me). In absolute teams I am probably getting more value back there, however given my glut of OFs L. Thomas probably has a bit less value to me given my current roster construction.

Then I'm spinning effectively a two-for-one (Estrada and Bleday for Finnegan) to get back the saves I'm losing by giving up McArthur. FP has that trade as a significant net win for sdaltons and actually a slight negative for me, but probably only because it is not accounting for the other trade in its +/- calcs.

So I'm dealing:

Berrios, McArthur, Estrada, and Bleday

for

Cortes, Finnegan, L. Thomas and T. Anderson (aka, an open roster spot )

Hopefully it’ll go through this time!

The power to override a trade is significant and could lead to an unfair advantage, if abused. In the league you speak of, how did these panelists typically finish in the standings?

What improvements do you propose?

That's a safe bet.

Could you manage to pry LeMahieu from Dazepster?

This could be a public service… separating players & managers in toxic relationships.

I don't think LeMahieu is quite what I am looking for.

His days are numbered.

Been looking to dump him and a few others. Slimmer pickins on the Waiver Wire than i ever could have imagined.

Day Trading is obviously an option. Too often winds up with further woulda coulda shoulda. Held Abreu too long as well. Yet, was a tad worried he might go on a tear. More like he went on a bender.

When is next year's draft? Lol

Yes, but sometimes an intervention is necessary.

Based on the FAB offers, I think BL could have gotten something for Nolan Jones.

Didn’t think I’d be outbid twice…

I thought about going as high as $19, but decided that as good as I expect Jones may be, another 1B/OF was not my most pressing need.

I'm also now making one of my Yahoo Top 5 ROS catchers (O'Hoppe - 163 overall, 4th among C; Fry - 172 overall, 5th among C) available for trade.

Yahoo appears to have Rutschman, W. Smith, William Contreras, O'Hoppe, and Fry as their 1st through 5th among catchers over remaining games.

I just viewed the upside as too much to pass up. I think he was generally over drafted but he was 4th round #55 overall in this league. Could be a waste of money but certainly worth the risk and a hedge against Naylor if he can’t pull his head out of his (bleep).

I could use a catcher to back up/platoon w/ Campusano until Realmuto gets back, but…
