Well, since the OOTP gods seemed to shit on my best prospect during the season turnover, I have lost some organizational trade value.

I am looking for a decent MLB bullpen arm since those same OOTP gods shit on 26 year old Gene Welcher in the last sim of the season.

This reliever must be better than Kevin Brown and the other AAAA fodder I have on my Triple A roster.

I am willing to discuss anyone in the minor leagues as well as Stan Musial and/or Frank Robinson in exchange.

Granted, this might be a difficult task.... yet I will try.

I am also interested in a spare backup catcher....

Konstanty? York? Are you trying to dump Frank?

[Slyder]

Always willing to trade Russell or Coon if the return is right.

Likewise Landers, Forbes, and others.

Needs: Depth at position, prospects, picks, and salary room.

[OrioleMagic]

Konstanty? York? Are you trying to dump Frank?

im not trying to dump anybody. I am just looking for a reasonable exchange of players.

[OrioleMagic]

I will think about Konstanty and get back to you. I have no interest in York.

Russell and Coon would cost more than I have available more than likely. I'll look closer at landers and forbes tomorrow. Thanks.

Musial is GPA and I no longer need a back up catcher.

I am still interested in an MLB reliever, but I know most will want to see how the FA period plays out before making a move.

Frank Robinson is available for a 2.5ish prospect.

Armand Anguiano has become expendable after a recent trade. Won't cost much.

Armand Anguiano has become expendable after a recent trade. Won't cost much.

I'll get back to you on Anguiano after FA is finished. I may try to get to the deadline w/o making a trade and lock up Mathews. I am worried about how much he will cost to extend...

[OrioleMagic]

Well, I think I am set for the post-deadline season. However, just in case... I am looking for a solid MLB starting pitcher. If anyone is willing to take Mathews with a $22Mx5 extension in exchange for a solid #3 starter... please let me know... I may consider it given my financial situation.

[Providence A's]

So...you want someone to take your more expensive starter and give you a cheap starter? Am I understanding that correctly? Before I looked I thought Mathews was an everyday player and you were looking for pitching. Are you saying you'll trade Mathews for a lesser pitcher? Otherwise, I don't get it. I'm not trying to be a dick here. I'm just trying to understand.

[OrioleMagic]

Yes. An expensive #1 for a less expensive 2 or 3.

[Mach]

how much does age matter?

[OrioleMagic]

I'll get back to you. Mathews is likely GPA. Waiting for a response to my response.

[Mach]

Oh.
