BBF Transaction Game

[wilkerson_rulz-06]

Hello BBF
Here's another one of my crazy ideas:
Anybody who wishes to reply to this thread is a "GM".

Anybody who wishes to be a "GM" please submit your name before January 3rd at 8:00 AM EST. We need 6 volunteers(5 without myself). Those 6 volunteers will each represent one of the 6 divisions.

NL EAST, NL CENTRAL, NL WEST.
AL EAST, AL CENTRAL, AL WEST.

If I'm the GM of the NL East, then I'm the GM of the Braves, Nationals, Marlins, Phillies and Mets. I control these teams.

Example of a trade offer:
Yankees offer Hideki Matsui to Phillies for Bobby Abreu.

wilkerson_rulz must either reject, accept or review and negotiate this trade.

If wilkerson_rulz rejects this trade he must reply like this:

Wilkerson_rulz must chose of the following in his response.
He may accept the trade, reject it, reject it and still negotiate

1)Trade Accepted
2)Trade Rejected
3)Trade Rejected, Phillies will offer OF Pat Burrell for Hideki Matsui.

[Mattingly]

Crazy idea, but very imaginative and could prove very useful and productive. I like it! :)

[Yankee Legend]

I have a question though:

do we start with the rosters from the beginning of the offseason or from today?

[wilkerson_rulz-06]

Starting today.

[wilkerson_rulz-06]

Crazy idea, but very imaginative and could prove very useful and productive. I like it! :)

So do you want to join?
You're allowed to be a co-GM of the AL EAST with YankeeLegend if you both agree.

I wish I could, but this is mostly for the "fantasy" players, of which I'm unfortunately not. I'll only offer my support in this thread, both as a forumer and a Mod.

I'm sure you'll have no problem finding 5 others, as a few have already expressed interest.

Best of luck! :)

Thanks for the support Mattingly.
Have a happy holiday!

Yankee Legend, since you're the first to join, wanna help with the rules?
Everybody can suggest things even if they're not a GM.
:)

[BasEbaLlKnoItAll]

Im in, doesnt really matter what division I get, just throw my name up on any of them

[wilkerson_rulz-06]

Im in, doesnt really matter what division I get, just throw my name up on any of them

BasEbaLlKnoItAll, you are now the GM of the NL WEST.
Congratulations.:)

[wilkerson_rulz-06]

Once all five(or more (co-GM)) have joined, we will begin.
Anybody have any suggestions on how we can make the rules better?

[Jake83]

I will take the AL West

[wilkerson_rulz-06]

I will take the AL West
Jake83 is now GM of the AL West.

[wilkerson_rulz-06]

The only two remaining divisions are:
NL CENTRAL and the AL CENTRAL.
How come no one chose the division of the White Sox and the Cardinals ?:noidea

[KingJ]

AL Central is better overall, so I pick that. Are we using where players are now (Reggie Sanders signs with AL Central KC) or where they played this last season (Reggies Sanders played with NL Central STL)?

[wilkerson_rulz-06]

AL Central is better overall, so I pick that. Are we using where players are now (Reggie Sanders signs with AL Central KC) or where they played this last season (Reggies Sanders played with NL Central STL)?

We are using rosters as of today (Christmas).
Once someone takes up the NL CENTRAL we will begin with our game.
Whatever happens in the "real world" affects our rosters also.

By the way KingJ Happy Holidays!
You are now GM of the AL CENTRAL:)
Thanks for participating!

ONLY ONE DIVISION LEFT:
NL CENTRAL

[redlegsfan21]

I will do the NL Central if some else will be co-GM with me but I'm willing to start now.

[wilkerson_rulz-06]

I will do the NL Central if some else will be co-GM with me but I'm willing to start now.

Thanks for participating Nascarfn5, you are the GM of the NL CENTRAL.
Anybody like to co-GM with him?

ALL GM's may now start offering trades to other gm's.

[wilkerson_rulz-06]

wilkerson_rulz(NL EAST, Philadelphia Phillies) offers to the Los Angeles Dodgers (NL WEST, BasEbaLlKnoItAll) SP Randy Wolf, 3B David Bell and a player to be named later for SS Cezar Izturis and SP Odalis Perez and a minor leaguer.

[redlegsfan21]

NASCARFn5(NL Central, Cincinnati Reds) offers OF Wily Mo Pena to Jake83(AL West, Oakland Athletics) for P Joe Blanton.

[Yankee Legend]

do we have to offer trades from one team to another?

ex: can i offer a trade like: Hideki Matsui and Mike Lowell to NL West for Eric Gagne and Moises Alou?

Also what about budget and payrolls?

[KingJ]

The AL Central offers Yankee Legend (AL East)

Jon Garland (RHP) to Tampa Bay Devil Rays
Ben Broussard (1B) to New York Yankees
For Bubba Crosby (OF) to White Sox, Julio Lugo (SS) to White Sox, and Kyle Farnsworth (RHP) to Indians.
To make room for Lugo, I send Juan Uribe (SS) to Royals for prospects.

[Yankee Legend]

Yankee Legend (AL East, Boston Red Sox) offers to trade 1B Kevein Youkilis to BasEbaLlKnoItAll (NL West, San Francisco Giants) for CF Randy Winn.

[KingJ]

Salary...hmmm....mind if we stop this game while I think of a point system?

EDIT: Salary is kind of hard. Why don't we just pretend Steinbrennar is paying for all the team salaries and we just have to decide if the deal is fair or not.

[KingJ]

AL Central offers Wilkerson_rulz (NL East):

Andrew Sisco (http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/7470) (LHP), Matt Stars (http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/4848) (1B), and cash to the Atlanta Braves for Jorge Sosa (http://sports.yahoo.com/mlbpa/players/6885) (RHP) and Kelly Johnson (http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/7558) (OF) to the Kansas City Royals.

[BasEbaLlKnoItAll]

wilkerson_rulz(NL EAST, Philadelphia Phillies) offers to the Los Angeles Dodgers (NL WEST, BasEbaLlKnoItAll) SP Randy Wolf, 3B David Bell and a player to be named later for SS Cezar Izturis and SP Odalis Perez and a minor leaguer.
Trade Rejected (Dont need another 3Bman, and need to hold on to Perez as our starting pitching is weak. We feel we can get more for Izturis from a team with a need at SS rather than a team with an established SS already there.)

baseballknoitall (NL West, LA Dodgers) offers to Boston Red Sox (AL East, Yankee Legend) SS Cesar Izturis and OF Jason Repko for SP David Wells, SP/RP Lenny DiNardo, SP Abe Alvarez, and OF Brandon Moss

-Izturis could be a mainstay at SS for Boston for years to come, and waiting for him to return from injury would be worth the wait. Graffanino at SS for the first portion of the season would not hurt. Repko is a young up and coming outfielder who has tons of potential and had a pretty decent rookie year for LA. He could probably move over to CF and fill in the Sox's hole there. DiNardo is still young and has spent a few years in the minors. He will be competing for a bullpen spot in Spring Training with the Red Sox. His ceiling doesnt appear any higher than a 4, maybe a 3 starter. Same could be said for Alvarez. Brandon Moss is a good AA outfield prospect. Hard to project how his career will pan out. So considering Wells, 40+ years old, injury prone has stated that if he is not traded he will likely retire, might as well get value for him in the form of a young SS and Outfielder who both could potentially be mainstays in Boston for years.

Yankee Legend (AL East, Boston Red Sox) offers to trade 1B Kevein Youkilis to BasEbaLlKnoItAll (NL West, San Francisco Giants) for CF Randy Winn.
Lets wait and see what happens regarding your pending trade with the Dodgers, then we can discuss this more.

[wilkerson_rulz-06]

do we have to offer trades from one team to another?

ex: can i offer a trade like: Hideki Matsui and Mike Lowell to NL West for Eric Gagne and Moises Alou?

Also what about budget and payrolls?

Well, what do you guys think we should do?
Should we all have 40 million$ to spend (budget?).
every time a trade is offered, the GM that is offering the trade must indicate the players 2005 salary.

[wilkerson_rulz-06]

AL Central offers Wilkerson_rulz (NL East):

Andrew Sisco (http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/7470) (LHP), Matt Stars (http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/4848) (1B), and cash to the Atlanta Braves for Jorge Sosa (http://sports.yahoo.com/mlbpa/players/6885) (RHP) and Kelly Johnson (http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/7558) (OF) to the Kansas City Royals.

Trade Rejected.
I think that Sosa has the potential to be better than he was in 2005.
The Braves already have an established outfield:
LF- Langerhans CF- Jones RF- Francoeur.
I will be willing to give up Jorge Sosa for Zack Greinke and cash.

[wilkerson_rulz-06]

wilkerson_rulz offers -WASHINGTON NATIONALS 2B Alfonso Soriano, 3B Jamey Carroll to the NY Yankees(AL EAST) for (Yankee Legend) RF Gary Sheffield, cash and/or a minor leaguer.(prospect)

[Yankee Legend]

wilkerson_rulz offers -WASHINGTON NATIONALS 2B Alfonso Soriano, 3B Jamey Carroll to the NY Yankees(AL EAST) for (Yankee Legend) RF Gary Sheffield, cash and/or a minor leaguer.(prospect)

trade rejected. no intrest in soriano. not willing to give sheffield.

[KingJ]

Yankee, do you have a decision on my trade?

The AL Central offers Yankee Legend (AL East)

Jon Garland (RHP) to Tampa Bay Devil Rays
Ben Broussard (1B) to New York Yankees
For Bubba Crosby (OF) to White Sox, Julio Lugo (SS) to White Sox, and Kyle Farnsworth (RHP) to Indians.
To make room for Lugo, I send Juan Uribe (SS) to Royals for prospects.

If you do accept and only if, I also offer Yankee Legend:

Matt Stairs (1B/OF), Angel Berroa (SS), and cash to the Red Sox for Matt Clement (RHP) to the Royals.

[Yankee Legend]

[KingJ]

Kansas City Royals sign RHSP Jason Johnson to 2yr/$6 mil.

[Yankee Legend]

[wilkerson_rulz-06]

Atlanta Braves offer SP Mike Hampton LF Kelly Johnson and cash to the Cardinals for SP Jeff Suppan and a player to be named later.

[wilkerson_rulz-06]

wait no dont do that until we can get sports agents

President of the player-agents:
Go Bravos!!!#1; E.Banks#14

STARTING PITCHERS/RELIEF PITCHERS

ALL SHORTSTOPS(possibly utility players)
ALL THIRD BASEMEN(possibly utility players)
ALL RIGHT FIELDERS(possibly utility players)
ALL CENTER FIELDERS(possibly utility players)
ALL LEFT FIELDERS(possibly utility players)


e.g
The NY Mets offer 1B Kevin Millar a 2 year contract worth 8.45 million dollars$.
In this case 4.225 millions dollars$ are substracted from your budget of 40 million $.

The player-agent must not accept the offer right away, he must wait until other teams make him offers. If not, the player-agent may choses to sign a contract.

The player-agent must respond like this:
The NY Mets offer 1B Kevin Millar a 2 year contract worth 8.45 million dollars$.

1) The player has accepted your offer
2) The player has declined your offer
3)The player has declined your offer and would like to continue negotiating.

Gm's must p'm the player-agent(Go Bravos!!!#1) to make an offer, so we can keep this thread from flowing with rumours :laugh

[Go Bravos!!!#1]

I'll do 1st base.

My client Fred McGriff if looking for a team to hit his 500 homer with. Any Offers?

I say the gms/co-gms, pm the offer to the agent to keep it private, and then when the decision is made the agent will reveal the offers and disclose which team his client will sign for.

If you need me to be i can be all the players agents.

[Go Bravos!!!#1]

Fred says he's in great shape and ready to play.

[Go Bravos!!!#1]

My client Mark Teixiera wants out of texas. He says "I want to be in the playoffs in 2006 and I don't see it coming with this team. I want out."

URGENT NOTE TO ALL GM's.

GM's and co-GM's may start offering contracts to free-agents as of January 1st 2006 at 8:00 AM Eastern time.

We need to have all our player-agents before this date.

Trade is rejected, Cardinals are not in desperate need of an outfielder.

Texas Rangers offer Hank Blalock to Pittsburgh for Zach Duke

If we can work a 3 way trade with the A's receiving Soriano

[wilkerson_rulz-06]

If we can work a 3 way trade with the A's receiving Soriano

Maybe, possibly.
In need of pitching and of.(WAS)

[BasEbaLlKnoItAll]

Well, what do you guys think we should do?
Should we all have 40 million$ to spend (budget?).
every time a trade is offered, the GM that is offering the trade must indicate the players 2005 salary.
Thats a lot of work looking up the salary.

We should have teams trade with teams, not divisions trade with divisions. More realistic

The AL Central offers Yankee Legend (AL East)

Jon Garland (RHP) to Tampa Bay Devil Rays
Ben Broussard (1B) to New York Yankees
For Bubba Crosby (OF) to White Sox, Julio Lugo (SS) to White Sox, and Kyle Farnsworth (RHP) to Indians.
To make room for Lugo, I send Juan Uribe (SS) to Royals for prospects.
Kyle Farnsworth was signed as a Free Agent, cant be traded until June 15,th 2006

-------------
So now we're getting Free Agents and all that stuff?? This is getting complicated. I might have to consider resigning from my post as GM of the NL West teams. I thought this was just going to be trades and stuff. Well whatever, i'll stick with it for now.

Note: I still have offered trades flying out there

[KingJ]

Instead of making Bravos the agent for 1B, just give him the title of...president of the player's union and he must negiotiate all contracts.

[Go Bravos!!!#1]

Fine with Me. :)

[KingJ]

Twins offer RHSP Carlos Silva and $15 million to the Giants for the final year on Barry Bonds.

[BasEbaLlKnoItAll]

wow...why on earth would you be willing to take on Bonds' HUGE salary plus throw in $15 million? The Twins arent the Yankees here, I dont know if they have that kind of money to be throwing around. But hey, I like it. Send me Shannon Stewart in addition to Silva and you can shave off 4 million, making the trade:
Twins Get
Barry Bonds

Giants Get
Carlos Silva
Shannon Stewart
$11million

[eddiejc1]

Hey guys.
Here's another one of my crazy ideas since this offseason is so boring
Anybody who wishes to reply to this thread is a "GM".

Anybody who wishes to be a "GM" please submit your name before January 3rd at 8:00 AM EST. We need 6 volunteers(5 without myself). Those 6 volunteers will each represent one of the 6 divisions.

NL EAST, NL CENTRAL, NL WEST.
AL EAST, AL CENTRAL, AL WEST.

If I'm the GM of the NL East, then I'm the GM of the Braves, Nationals, Marlins, Phillies and Mets. I control these teams.

Example of what we can do:
(not real)
somebody_45(NL WEST, San Diego Padres) offers SP Jake Peavy and a minor leager to be named later to wilkerson_rulz(NL EAST, Philadelphia Phillies) for SP Jon Lieber and cash.

wilkerson_rulz must either reject, accept or review and negotiate this trade.

If wilkerson_rulz rejects this trade he must reply like this:


Wilkerson_rulz must chose of the following in his response.
He may accept the trade, reject it, reject it and still negotiate

1)Trade Accepted
2)Trade Rejected
3)Trade Rejected, Phillies will offer SP Randy Wolf and a minor leager for SP Jake Peavy.

Current divisions not available

NL EAST, wilkerson_rulz, December 25th, 2005.
AL EAST- Yankee Legend, December 25th 2005.
NL WEST- BasEbaLlKnoItAll- December 25th, 2005.

AL CENTRAL- KingJ, December 25th 2005.
NL CENTRAL- nascarfn5, December 25th, 2005.

Available divisions:
NONE, but...see next line:
Remember, you can always be a co-GM of a division.
You must ask the current GM if he accepts that you co-GM with him.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

What do you guys think?
I'll need some help improving the rules, but it's a start!

As for the free agents we'll need to figure something out.
If you want to be a co-GM of a division, you must ask the current GM if he accepts that you co-GM.


Please, tell me what you think.

Wilkerson_rulz

I'm willing to be co-GM of the NL East if that position is still available...

Eddie Cunningham

[redlegsfan21]

Proposed 3-Way Trade
Cincinnati Reds send OF Wily Mo Pena to Washington Nationals
Washington Nationals send 2B Alfonso Soriano to Oakland Athletics
Oakland Athletics send P Barry Zito to Cincinnati Reds

[KingJ]

wow...why on earth would you be willing to take on Bonds' HUGE salary plus throw in $15 million?


No...no... Silva + $15 mil of Bonds' $21 mil 2006 salary. I'm not paying $40 mil for 1 yr of Barry Bonds, but I do know the Twins have 6 starting pitchers and no DH.

Twins Get Barry Bonds with salary paid by Giants
Giants Get Carlos Silva and $15 million

[BasEbaLlKnoItAll]

So that would basically be us giving you Bonds and $6 million (leaving you with $15mil to pay on Bond's contract). I am willing to do that if you pay Bonds' ENTIRE contract or if we get Shannon Stewart in the deal.

[KingJ]

So that would basically be us giving you Bonds and $6 million (leaving you with $15mil to pay on Bond's contract). I am willing to do that if you pay Bonds' ENTIRE contract or if we get Shannon Stewart in the deal.

Alright, Stewart it is.

[BasEbaLlKnoItAll]

Alright, Stewart it is.
Deal!!


The San Francisco Giants have traded star franchise player, and possible eventual Home RUn King, Barry Bonds, to the Minnesota Twins for pitcher Carlos Silva and outfielder Shannon Stewart, who will likely be Bonds' replacement, or used as trade bait if San Francisco comes up with a more adequate solution. If held onto, Stewart would likely slip into the leadoff position, replacing Randy Winn, who will be replaced in Center Field by newly acquired Steve Finley. Trade talks have taken place between the Giants and Red Sox concerning Randy Winn, but have been put on hold forthe time being. Silva will likely be the number three or number four starter in the San Francisco rotation, featuring newly signed Matt Morris. San Francisco was also able to move Bonds only paying $6 million of his $21 million contract. This is expected to come as an unpopular move by the Giants' fans, and Barry has yet to comment on the trade, which came about quietly in about two days.

The Minnesota Twins have acquired a legitimate superstar in Bonds, something they have not had since the days of Kirby Puckett. The Twins usually field a team of very talented, young players. Their biggest star prior to the addition of Bonds would have been considered to be center fielder Torii Hunter, who progressed through the Twins organization. The addition of Bonds to the Twins will likely increase their fan base, total home attendance, and merchandise profits while also increasing Bonds' Home Run total. Playing in the American League would allow him to DH for the Twins, increasing his durability, which is what convinced him to waive his no-trade clause. The Twins new corner outfield will likely consist of Lew Ford and Jason Kubel, or Rondell White, or a platoon by the two, pending further moves by GM KingJ.

--December 27, 2005





lol, bored so I decided to write a Press Release haha

[KingJ]

Now that the Twins have a huge bat...Jake, what's the price for Mench or Wilkerson?

[KingJ]

I propose to wilkerson_rulz:

RHRP David Riske (http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/6309) to the Braves for OF Ryan Langerhans. Riske can be a solid closer.

[Jake83]

Proposed 3-Way Trade
Cincinnati Reds send OF Wily Mo Pena to Washington Nationals
Washington Nationals send 2B Alfonso Soriano to Oakland Athletics
Oakland Athletics send P Barry Zito to Cincinnati Reds

Throw in some more players for Oakland


Reds Zito and Ellis

Washington receives Pena and someone from Cincinatti

Oakland receives Patterson and Soraino

[Jake83]

Now that the Twins have a huge bat...Jake, what's the price for Mench or Wilkerson?


What team Minnesota

[KingJ]

What team Minnesota

Yup, Minnesota.

[Jake83]

Matt Lecroy and Francisco Liriano for Kevin Mench

[Yankee Legend]

Boston Redsox would like to offer Bronson Arroyo to the Los Angeles Dodgers in exchange for Kenny Lofton.

[redlegsfan21]

Attention Washington Nationals: I need to know if there are any players you want from Cincinnati to make this deal work.

Reds: Zito and Ellis

Washington: Pena and someone from Cincinnati

Oakland: Patterson and Soraino

[BasEbaLlKnoItAll]

Boston Redsox would like to offer Bronson Arroyo to the Los Angeles Dodgers in exchange for Kenny Lofton.
I would, but Lofton was signed as a free agent and cannot be traded until June 15, 2006 ...sorry

But that is why I threw Repko in that other deal I proposed to you (that you have yet to accept/reject)

[BasEbaLlKnoItAll]

Matt Lecroy and Francisco Liriano for Kevin Mench
Lecroy's a free agent.

[Yankee Legend]

baseballknoitall (NL West, LA Dodgers) offers to Boston Red Sox (AL East, Yankee Legend) SS Cesar Izturis and OF Jason Repko for SP David Wells, SP/RP Lenny DiNardo, SP Abe Alvarez, and OF Brandon Moss

[wilkerson_rulz-06]

Guys, I will not be around here as much anymore.
I will be back after the New YEar.

Happy Holidays,
Steve

[BasEbaLlKnoItAll]

He is better than what you have out there right now. I tried solving a couple of your team's problems in one trade.


..but ok, whats the price for Wells. For both the Dodgers and Padres?

[wilkerson_rulz-06]

Attention Washington Nationals: I need to know if there are any players you want from Cincinnati to make this deal work.

Reds: Zito and Ellis

Washington: Pena and someone from Cincinnati

Oakland: Patterson and Soraino
I'm not going to give up Patterson and get no SP in return.
I'll trade you guys Livan+Alfonso for Griffey + and a reliable SP. :noidea

Eddie,about co-GM, check your P*m's.

[KingJ]

Wilk...before you go, could I have a decision on my proposal?

I propose to wilkerson_rulz:

RHRP David Riske (http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/6309) to the Braves for OF Ryan Langerhans. Riske can be a solid closer.

[Yankee Legend]

The Red Sox already have Berroa. Right now im interested in mike cameron. offer me him and well work out a deal.

[KingJ]

Royals offer OF Emil Brown, LHP J.P. Howell, and $500,000 to the Red Sox for RHP Bronson Arroyo and 3B Andy Marte.

[BasEbaLlKnoItAll]

The Red Sox already have Berroa. Right now im interested in mike cameron. offer me him and well work out a deal.
Um...no, David Wells is 40+ years old and an injury risk, talk to the Dodgers.

Dodgers: We are willing to give you Jason Repko, who could become an elite outfielder, he had a very decent rookie year. Just tell me what else you want (Besides Perez)

...and I dont know who on earth you're talking about, btu as somebody who is pretty familiar with the Sox system, I was pretty sure there were no SS's named Berrora, and just to double check I went to soxprospects.com and there was nothing on a SS named Berroa. Sorry pal, you might be mistaken with another organization, unless it is me that is mistaken.

Um...no, David Wells is 40+ years old and an injury risk, talk to the Dodgers.

Dodgers: We are willing to give you Jason Repko, who could become an elite outfielder, he had a very decent rookie year. Just tell me what else you want (Besides Perez)

...and I dont know who on earth you're talking about, btu as somebody who is pretty familiar with the Sox system, I was pretty sure there were no SS's named Berrora, and just to double check I went to soxprospects.com and there was nothing on a SS named Berroa. Sorry pal, you might be mistaken with another organization, unless it is me that is mistaken.

I meant angel berroa. check post #33.

[BasEbaLlKnoItAll]

I meant angel berroa. check post #33.
My appologies, I was unaware a trade had taken place lol

We should make a list of all the moves that are made and just post them on the first page or something :lol:

How about Repko for Wells straight up? For you it is a low risk/high reward deciscion, for us it is a high risk/high reward. He will solve your CF problems for years to come.

Also, are you going to be interested in trading Manny Ramirez, because I will put together a package to present to you if so??

I accept this trade if you throw in Jason Dubois (http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/7100)
I'll also throw in Blane Boyer (http://atlanta.braves.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/team/player.jsp?player_id=430641) so we can complete this trade.

What do you think?

[wilkerson_rulz-06]

Attention Washington Nationals: I need to know if there are any players you want from Cincinnati to make this deal work.

Reds: Zito and Ellis

Washington: Pena and someone from Cincinnati

Oakland: Patterson and Soriano

1) I am getting only Pena while I give up Patterson+Soriano and while CIN gets Barry Zito and Mark Ellis.
I don't like that. I am not going to trade Patterson, I'll trade Livan Hernandez and Soriano only if I receive Adam Dunn and Eric Milton. No interest in Pena

PROPOSED TRADE

Reds get Barry Zito and Mark Ellis
Nationals get Adam Dunn and Eric Milton
Athletics get Hernandez and Soriano.

Are we doing this thing as realistic as possible?? Because if so Kyle Farnsworth would not be able to be traded considering he was signed as a Free Agent. Free Agents cannot be traded until June 15th. If not let me know so I know who I can trade and who I cannot trade.

2) Wolf/Robsinson Tejada/Bobby Abreu for Brandon Webb/Luis Gonzalez

I like Greene's bat and defense more than Reyes.

Greene made more errors relative to catches than Reyes did and his bat stinks (8 more HRs, but every other category was worse than Reyes). I would at least switch the cash considerations to the Padres side as Greene gets paid more than Reyes.

[BasEbaLlKnoItAll]

The Phillies have reached a preliminary agreement to acquire SP Brandon Webb, LF Luis Gonzalez from ARI for SP Randy Wolf and SP Robinson Tejeda.

NEW YORK- Mets' GM Omar Minaya dismissed trade rumors between Jose Reyes and Khalil Greene, this is Minaya's only comment:
"We nearly had a deal done but sometimes things just don't work out."
Reyes denied to comment on the subject.

[BasEbaLlKnoItAll]

Its a deal then, OF Jason Repko and $ 1 1/2 million to the red sox for David Wells.
OK, so this is a done deal.

The Boston Red Sox and Los Angeles Dodgers today agreed to a trade involving David Wells. In return, the Red Sox will receive outfielder Jason Repko, who had a productive rookie year, in addition to $1.5 million. Dodgers GM baseballknoitall commented briefly on the deal, "We are happy to add a starter of David's caliber to our rotation. We expect him to be a great addition and are thrilled to have him. Of coarse we are disappointed about losing Repko, but it is the price that had to be paid."
Early in the offseason, Wells requested a trade out of Boston to a West coast team. It was rumored that his preference was to be traded back to San Diego, which many people expected to happen, with the Red Sox receiving a package including Dave Roberts. However, the Red Sox became less interested with the Padres after they shipped reliever Akinori Otsuka to Texas earlier in the month. They then explored other trade possibilities, resulting in the deal with the Dodgers.
The trade is pending physicals of both players.

[wilkerson_rulz-06]

If the trade with the dodgers doesn't work out ill consider this one. If it does then this trade is rejected.
Damn! There goes my deal!

[BasEbaLlKnoItAll]

Trade Accepted.
The following players were placed on these teams:

Khalil Greene NYM
Jose Reyes SD
Happy to get this one done.

Despite comments made by Omar Minaya earlier in the day claiming that the rumored talks between the Mets and the Padres regarding a swap of shortstops, the two teams agreed to a deal. In the original talks the Mets offered to throw cash considerations into the deal, however the Padres' financial request was more then the Mets were willing to pay. In an attempt to get the deal done, Padres GM Kevin Towers offered a trade of the two shortstops without any cash considerations being included. Towers had these comments regarding the acquisition of Reyes, "Jose Reyes is an electrifying player who appears to only be improving. We are excited about adding him to our team. Although letting Greenie go was difficult, players such as Reyes dont come around in the market everyday."
Green was touted as the Padres' Shortstop of the future and their franchise player.
Reyes should fare fairly well at Petco Park with his speed and contact bat. Look for his amount of triples to increase.
Note; this trade is pending physicals of both players.

Listen, I have thought it over. The trade was "agreed", but not accepted
How about:

1) Wolf, cash and Abreu for Webb and Gonzalez
2) Tejeda and Burrell for Webb and Gonzalez.

The 2nd trade looks very interesting.
Burrell and Gonzalez are round the same age.
Tejeda has potential, so does Webb.

Think it over.

[wilkerson_rulz-06]

NEW YORK-Associated Press
Today, Mets' GM wilkerson_rulz finalized a trade that would send SS Jose Reyes to the Padres for SS Khalil Greene. Earlier today, Mets' GM wilkerson_rulz dismissed the trade but some time later agreed.
He reportedly agreed because the Padres removed the tag-line "and cash" from the offered trade.
GM wilkerson_rulz was not available for comment.
The trade is pending physicals, which Reyes will take next week.
Assistant GM Eddiejc1 describe Greene as "a phenomenal player on and off the field."
Reyes had been the subject of many trade rumours this offseason and he is happy the deal came through:
"I needed a change, Reyes said of New York, playing for the Mets was hard. Everyone expects big things out of you."

Erstad can play the outfield

[wilkerson_rulz-06]

Since the free-agency frenzy is days away, as I will be for the next couple of days. I have decided to write the rules on offering free-agent players contracts.

1) The Gm must p'm Go Bravos to make an offer. Public offers are not tolerated.
2) Every GM has 40Million to spend in the FA market.
(e.g) In a p'm, I would propose like this:
WAS offers SP Jeff Weaver a 3 year deal worth 30 million dollars.

If the player accepts my offer, I must divide 30/3 =10 million a year.
So... 40 million$-10 million$ = 30 million dollars.
Get the picture?

3)If a Player-agent rejects your offer, he may either give you permission to keep negotiating or he may dismiss you permanently. Once a PA has dismissed you, the Gm no longer has permission to offer a contract to him.

Need some help ratifying these!

[wilkerson_rulz-06]

Also, if anyone knows a free fantasy website that would allow us to have 30 teams, please post it.

If any GM wishes to enter, he must randomly choose two teams from his division(this rule is made so the GM's wont fortify specific teams).

After 2 teams are randomly selected, the team's fantasy rosters will be the same as our rosters here.

If any GM wishes to join, kindly make a new account at Yahoo!'s Fantasy Baseball League next season.
Your username must be the same as in Baseball Fever or we won't be able to recognize you!

Arizona Diamondbacks offer C Robby Hammock to the Yankees for either:
1) RP Scott Proctor and 2B Shelley Duncan
2) RP Scott Proctor, 1B Mitch Jones, and 2B Coaname Cosme (sp)

Hammock is extremely versatile and is close with Randy Johnson. Considering that Joe has stated that he would like to DH Posada a little bit more often this year a 3rd catcher is required, and having a 3rd catcher who can play other positions (Hammock can play 3rd, the outfield, and im sure if needed can play 1st, dont know how much experience he has though) rather than having a 3rd catcher who can only catch, which would kill the defensive depth off the bench.
As a Yankee fan I would love for the Yankees to have Hammock.

Frank Thomas (DH) is feeling healthier every day, and he would like to be signed as soon as possible once free agent signings are allowed. He is good friends with fellow Auburn alumni Mark Bellhorn. He feels that the White Sox wouldn't play him much, so he doesn't particularly want to return there.
Why should San Diego sign him (you made reference to Bellhorn)?? He is a 1B/DH who cannot play 1B very well anymore. Having him in San Diego for the amount he would command would do nothing but hurt the team. He is better off going to an AL team. However, we here at the San Diego Padres understand what he could provide and if the money was right we would consider persuing him. PM us with a base number (salary), and contract length to work off of.

Does the Cards GM accept that I trade D. Willis, M. Cepicky and 1 million$ for Chris Carpenter?
I accept.
I'll accept the deal.

[redlegsfan21]

I will accept the deal for Tejada to the Cubs.

Sorry for the lateness of my acceptances, I haven't been able to get to my computer.

[Yankee Legend]

I felt like doing one myself

Press Release:
BALTIMORE-12/31 Oriole fans remorse as they witnessed one of the best all-around players being traded to the Chicago Cubs. All-Star shortstop Miguel Tejada left Baltimore to join his team in Chicago. Tejada's 2005 season was still impressive hitting .304 with 26 homeruns and 98 RBI's. Though Tejada's numbers may have gone down from his stellar 2004 season he is still amongst the elite of today's ballplayers. The Cubs can certainly use another big bat like his to drive in guys like newly aquired centerfielder Juan Pierre. With both Tejada and Derek Lee in the lineup, the Cubs now have an order perhaps just as deadly as that of the rival Cardinals.
However, the O's did not get the short end of the stick in this trade as the Cubs had to give away multi-talented pitcher Mark Prior. Prior who once again posted an incredible 3.67 ERA and 188 K's despite playing on a losing team. The loyal north-siders were certainly unhappy about the popular pitcher's departure to Baltimore. Now that the O's have Prior, they can have a rotation that can compete with the Yankees and Red Sox. In addition to acquiring Prior, the O's also ggot Shortstop Neifi Perez whose aggresiveness and glove will be useful as the Orioles try to rebuild from a disappointing season.

Los Angeles Dodgers offer Florida Marlins SS Cesar Izturis and $4 Million for P Yusmeiro Petit and OF Eric Reed (or if you dont want to trade Reed, OF Chris Aguila)

Trade Accepted.
Not for Reed. Aguila.

[Yankee Legend]

Arizona Diamondbacks offer C Robby Hammock to the Yankees for either:
1) RP Scott Proctor and 2B Shelley Duncan

wilkerson i think you forgot to add this trade to the list which was accepted.

[wilkerson_rulz-06]

KingJ, do you have a decision on my proposal:
Seo for Greinke?

[wilkerson_rulz-06]

URGENT:
GM's MAY NOW START OFFERING CONTRACTS TO FREE-AGENTS.
To make an offer, please p'm E-Banks
IMPORTANT:
(e.G) If Preston Wilson accepts Nationals offer of 3 years 30 million, divide 30 by 3 = 10 million$
10 million$ p/year is his salary. Your budget is 40 million (per team) so substract 40-10= 30 million remaining on budget


I know it's not 2006, but we all don't live in the same time-zone.
happy New Year!

[BasEbaLlKnoItAll]

Wilkerson, I noticed on the front page in the list of moves you forgot to include Shelley DUncan in the Hammock/Proctor deal. Also, Hammock is a catcher, not an infielder.

[wilkerson_rulz-06]

IF YOUR FREE AGENT OFFERS INCLUDE OPTIONS:
Please specify whether they are team options or player options. For now, I will assume they are all team options.

[E.Banks#14]

QUESTION:
Are free agents that were signed before Dec. 25 still available to sign?

[E.Banks#14]

[E.Banks#14]

The San Diego Padres have signed Free Agent 1B/C Scott Hatteberg to a 2 year deal worth $3.5 mil. ($1.75 mil./yr.).

[E.Banks#14]

Bengie Molina has a contract offer for 3 years / $15 million. We feel that Bengie deserves a 4 year deal. His defense is nearly flawless and he's one of the best contact hitters in the game. We're asking for about 4 years / $19-20 mil. He would prefer to play in the AL West or NL Central, because he would play his brothers more often, but also wouldn't mind the NL West or AL Central.

[BasEbaLlKnoItAll]

Los Angeles Dodgers offer C Dioner Navarro, OF Cody Ross, and $500,000 to the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim for C/1B Jose Molina and Lefty Reliever Joe Saunders.

[E.Banks#14]

The Philadelphia Phillies have signed Free Agent SP Kevin Brown to a 2 year deal worth $3.3 million ($1.65 mil. per year).

[E.Banks#14]

For those teams in need of starting pitching, Kevin Millwood is still available.
-We're asking for 4-5 years / $40-50 mil.

For those teams in need of relief pitching, Alan Embree, Shigetoshi Hasegawa, Matt Mantei, Terry Mulholland, Jeff Nelson, Felix Rodriguez, Scott Sullivan, Jason Christiansen, and James Baldwin are still availabe.

Interested teams please PM me.

[Yankee Legend]

The Boston Red Sox offer LF Manny Ramirez and $2 million to the St. Louis Cardinals for 1B Albert Pujols.

[E.Banks#14]

The Arizona Diamondbacks have signed Free Agent RP Joe Beimel to a Minor League contract with a Spring Training invite worth $340,000.
The Arizona Diamondbacks have signed Free Agent OF Michael Coleman to a Minor League contract with a Spring Training invite worth $150,000. If he makes the club, the contract will be worth $300,000.
The San Diego Padres have signed Free Agent 1B Rafael Palmeiro to a Minor League contract with a Spring Training invite worth $500,000 regardless of if he makes the club or not.
The San Francisco Giants have signed Free Agent 1B Roberto Petagine to a Minor League contract with a Spring Training invite worth $700,000 if he does not make the club, and $900,000 if he does make the club.

[BasEbaLlKnoItAll]

For those teams in need of relief pitching, Alan Embree, Shigetoshi Hasegawa, Matt Mantei, Ramiro Mendoza, Terry Mullholland, Jeff Nelson, Felix Rodriguez, Scott Sullivan, Jason Christiansen, and James Baldwin are still availabe.

Interested teams please PM me.
Ramiro Mendoza signed with the Yankees BEFORE we started this game.

I noticed you have Millwood mentioned up there, lets clear up who is available. I think that anyone who has signed with a team in real life should be off the market today, and from today on (as long as they are still free agents here in the game). But anyways...lets clear that up.

[E.Banks#14]

We are using the rosters as of December 25, I cleared that up with Wilkerson_rulz earlier today, so Millwood is available, as he was signed in real life by the Rangers after December 25.

You're correct on Mendoza, he was signed before Dec. 25 so he is on the Yankees roster.

[E.Banks#14]

The Los Angeles Dodgers have signed Free Agent SP Hideo Nomo to a Minor League contract with a spring training invite worth $900,000 if he makes the team out of spring training, or $350,000 if he doesn't.
The Los Angeles Dodgers have signed Free Agent OF Gabe Kapler to a 1 year Major League contract worth $1.5 Million.

[E.Banks#14]

Kevin Millwood has asked me to set a deadline of 10:00 PM (Central US Time Zone) Jan. 2, 2006 to get all offers in.

Kevin is the last unsigned solid starting pitcher coming from the AL last year. He's only worried about the money, no geographical preferences, he's taking the highest bidder (which is $43 mil. over 4 years right now).

[E.Banks#14]

The Los Angeles Dodgers have signed Free Agent OF Kenny Kelly to a Minor League contract with a Spring Training invite worth $500,000 if he makes the club, and $200,000 if he does not make the club.

My client Roger Clemens says he wants a 2 yr 31 mill deal in which he may be allowed to take 30 days off. If the team he picks is not the Rangers or Astros he wants to be alotted 35 days off.

[Yankee Legend]

The New York Yankees offer P Jaret Wright to the Chicago White Sox for RP Damaso Marte and P Brandon McCarthy.

Jaret Wright can provide a hard throwing arm in the bullpen as well as a good backup starter in case of injuries.

[Go Bravos!!!#1]

Roger Clemens signs with Tampa Bay Devil Rays~2yr 31 mill !!!:radio

[BasEbaLlKnoItAll]

I wish you had waited a little bit longer before deciding where your client would sign. Had I been on when you made your post I would have jumped into the bidding war, and definately provided a better deal for Roger.

The New York Yankees offer P Jaret Wright to the Chicago White Sox for RP Damaso Marte and P Brandon McCarthy.
Damaso Marte was traded to the Pirates a couple weeks ago. Sorry man, but I dont think the White Sox GM would have accepted that one.

YankeeLegend, are you seriously going to tell me that being a Yankee fan you made the offer to Clemens come from the DEVIL RAYS and not the Yankees??? Or at least the Red Sox!!! wow!!!

[Yankee Legend]

YankeeLegend, are you seriously going to tell me that being a Yankee fan you made the offer to Clemens come from the DEVIL RAYS and not the Yankees??? Or at least the Red Sox!!! wow!!!

tsk. tsk. I'm insulted. You actually think I'm going to carry this out unfairly??? No, I'm going to do my best to improve every one of my teams (Though I have to admit, I do have my work cut out for me with the devil rays). Roger Clemens is an injury risk and with him pitching, fans might actually have a reason for going to a ballpark like Tropicana Field. I mean seriously...Tropicana Field.

[Yankee Legend]

The New York Yankees offer P Jaret Wright to the Chicago White Sox for RP Neal Cotts.

Throw Scott Thorman in there and you have a deal.

[wilkerson_rulz-06]

Deal but, if I throw in Thorman you throw in either Val Majewski or cash.

[Yankee Legend]

Deal but, if I throw in Thorman you throw in either Val Majewski or cash.

ok then how about this:

kelly johnson, hampton and thorman for mora and $1 million

[wilkerson_rulz-06]

ok then how about this:

kelly johnson, hampton and thorman for mora and $1 million
Trade Accepted:D
Now let's see...

In a stunning ove the Atlanta Braves GM today dealt veteran pitcher Mike Hampton, young outfielder Kelly Johnson and prospect Scott Thorman to the Baltimore Orioles. In return Atlanta will receive Melvin Mora.Mora can play 3B and CF. The Braves are expected to move Mora to LF, if not, they will move Chipper Jones back to his original spot in LF.
Brave's GM wilkerson_rulz commented on the trade:
"We are very happy to get Melvin Mora. Mora is a speedy player who can play both IF and OF who posesses an incredible bat. We hope Atlanta will be able to help him return to his 2004 form."
Mike Hampton was acquired by Baltimore today. Sources indicate that wilkerson_rulz had been trying to trade Hampton since his first day because : "he wasn't putting up numbers, he spends too much time on the DL and he is "overpaid"."

[KingJ]

KingJ, do you have a decision on my proposal:
Seo for Greinke?


Rejected.

Cleveland Indians offer Frank Thomas a 1yr/$900,000 contract with a team option for 2007 worth $1.5 million.

[KingJ]

I want Greinke. Not willing to give up Benson AND Seo for some crap players.

Emil Brown is a good RF with a decent bat, Denny Bautista is a prospect who was called up too early, and Hernandez has the same stats as Greinke.

[KingJ]

Since Wilkerson_rulz traded away Langerhans and Johnson to leave a gap in LF, the Indians offer Coco Crisp to the Braves for Kyle Davies, Wilson Betemit, and $500,000.

[wilkerson_rulz-06]

Rejected.

Cleveland Indians offer Frank Thomas a 1yr/$900,000 contract with a team option for 2007 worth $1.5 million.

Since Wilkerson_rulz traded away Langerhans and Johnson to leave a gap in LF, the Indians offer Coco Crisp to the Braves for Kyle Davies, Wilson Betemit, and $500,000.

I will probably move Melvin Mora or Chipper Jones in LF.
Preferably Mora.

The Colorado Rockies have signed Free Agent RP Alan Embree to a 1 year $700,000 contract that becomes $750,000 if Alan has an ERA below 4.00. There is an option for a second year worth $1.1 Million with a $150,000 buyout if the option is declined.

Octavio Dotel and Felix Rodriguez are my clients as they played in the AL last year (Oakland and NYY, respectively).
They are still available.

Also, you didn't say how much the minor league deals were worth.

[E.Banks#14]

If you have signed any Free Agents who retire before the start of the 2006 season, the contracts you have with them become void. You would not have to pay them any money; it would be as though you never signed them.

[wilkerson_rulz-06]

NOTE TO ALL GM"S.

Don't forget your 40 million$ budgets per team.
(e.g.) If WAS signed Kevin Millwood to a one-year contract (10 million) then $40 million-10 million$ =30 million$ remaining.
GET IT?
Once a FA is signed please keep track and you cannot pass 40 million.

The $40 Million budget is only for the first year of the contracts, right? For inmstance, if I signed Player A to a 4 year/$40 Million dollar contract I would have only used $10 Million of my $40 Million budget. Correct?

There are no budgets for regular trades.
