If someone lowballs me in a trade offer, I stop negotiating. I spend way too much time here but I'm not going to spend it negotiating trades that won't happen.

Re-phrase if my answer is insufficient.you're in a league where semi-rapey deals go through. you make a deal that appears semi-rapey to you but the rest of the league finds it uber-rapey and vetoes.would this upset youI'm not in any leagues that allow uber-rapey. I don't think I could make a deal that I deem semi-rapey without knowing that I'm lying to myself.

Like deanod pointed out, if Trade A was a bad trade, why should Trade B go throughI've not backpedaled one bit. If Trade A is allowed, Trade B-Z(if similar) should be allowed. WTF about that is backpedaling?

It was vetoed by 6 owners who said they'd veto any deal I made. Owners who would turn around and make uber-rapey deals amongst themselves. It's called collusion and, yes, it ****** me off.

MG would do just fine without you in season 13. MG trades go thru if they don't include excess cash or aren't BL-quality for training camp pitchers. Always have, always will.
