I don't care if the salary is covered or not, I wouldn't think twice vetoing that deal.  Look I can't explain Riggs' lack of performance so far but I don't know how he has been handled either.  With splits in the 90's, he is underperforming regardless and should be much better in the future.  The guys coming back are FA fodder at best.  This is a terrible trade.

I agree 100 percent.

That pitcher's okay, but barely even worth his salary, and that other guy doesn't have the glove to play SS or the bat to play anywhere else. That RP should be a stud, but he's not, so I would not rule out user error. For example, if he thinks Christman's a SS, then what is his current defense like?

It's lopsided, but I've seen worse. Riggs' owner should have gotten more for a guy with those ratings. Just because his stats are poor now doesn't mean he couldn't be an excellent Setup A or CL for another team.

I wouldn't veto...but that isn't enough value.  Bad on the guy trading the closer.

You mean the guy with two total seasons of experience trading that stud closer for peanuts to a guy with 46 seasons of experience?

Feel free to draw your own conclusions.

With that information that hutch posted, I would likely veto it.

OK, me too.  I didn't look at it that closely - just at the players.

Liar.  Your world is not running on a 5 PM EST cycle.  You got it two hours ago and lollygagged around until now.  You know what that makes you?   A lollygagger.

Who are these people who go around vetoing "terrible" trades?  IMHO, trades shouldn't be vetoed unless there's collusion or noobie abuse.  I don't get why some owners feel their opinion matters in every single trade.  If two experienced owners make a trade and it's lop-sided, well, then gee, that sounds like baseball
