Emotionally hated to part with Sanders but I'm in full rebuild mode so had to jump at getting a young SP prospect like [url=http://www.simdynasty.com/player.jsp?player=nobody&mode=stats&id=8688209]Renfroe[/url]. I don't think he'll ever be an ace but I do expect he'll be a decent starter ultimately in the 4/5 hole.

Basically the Conglomerate needed to get a good A+ SP mentor, to go with the young guys that are going to be thrown to the wolves this season. While I liked Renfroe, I have a lot of pitchers developing, so Renfroe wasn't too tough to part with. Hopefully the former 22-game winner can bring some sort of spark to the pitching staff in DC.

A trade has been completed between the Pittsburgh Caledonians and the Boston Pops. The Boston Pops receive Rip Callison, Ken Dorman from the Pittsburgh Caledonians in exchange for John Bradford.
I posted Bradford's availability twice and really was surprised at how little interest there seemed to be in such a player (but I suppose value is in the eye of the beholder). Anyway, I ultimately had 3 offers to consider and felt this one was the best. The logic behind this trade for me was simple - I'm rebuilding and I need to add youth and this deal does that for me as I add two decent prospects (including a SP, which I really need).
I hope Bradford has some good years for the Caledonians...he certainly has the skills to be a difference maker.

A trade has been completed between the Kansas City River Cats and the Brooklyn Gothams. The Brooklyn Gothams receive Tyler Chatwood, Glenn McCauley, Draft Pick - 2032 Round 3 (KC) from the Kansas City River Cats in exchange for Tim Files.
Another trade that is likely a one season rental, but the KC fans are chanting "repeat, repeat", so I thought I'd best pick up a good IF backup. Files has good contact, good speed and good fielding, so I think he will make a decent contribution to my efforts. I gave up Chatwood, a backup IF who is not as good as Files, but is younger, a 3rd round pick, which in this league could amount to someone worthwhile, and McCauley, who could well become better than Files. So I think the trade benefited both parties.

Fisher is a decent pitcher and will likely get better. Hegan is pretty decent too and had a great year last year. However, a 1st, a 2nd and a pretty good pitching prospect is pretty good value for a 29 year old non-star pitcher and a guy who, while decent, was not in my long-term plans and wouldn't have played for me this year anyway.
This deal accelerates my rebuild and will give me some good pieces in a few years.

Ollom has been great the last two years, but at OS32 he was not going to help me when it mattered. Liese gives me a pretty good relief prospect and Midkiff gives me a bit of power vR n the middle of my lineup while I rebuild(plus he will hopefully improve a bit and may be "flippable" in a few years). The 2nd is gravy - and I can hopefully translate it into another decent piece down the road.
This trade was all about accumluating assets.

Honey has been pretty decent the last year and a bit and is still only OS30. However Holm, at OS31, is only one year older, is better vL and is also pretty good vR. Holm won't really help me long-term, but he is a better mentor at this point than Honey and will assist me in not losing too many games through this long rebuild.
Not an earth-shattering deal, but one that I hope will help shape my future in a small way.

The Brooklyn-KC shuttle continues with Tom Files going to the midwest. The Gothams are stocked with younger infielders, so Files was not playing much, despite his relatively strong production, so this was another picking up assets trade.
At worst, the trade is no impact for the Gothams, but has upside in all three pieces coming back.

A trade has been completed between the New York Bad Gnus and the Brooklyn Gothams. The Brooklyn Gothams receive [url=http://simdynasty.com/player.jsp?id=8288441]Duke Marion[/url], Draft Pick - 2030 Round 2 (NYN) from the New York Bad Gnus in exchange for [url=http://simdynasty.com/player.jsp?id=7621201]Gary Johnson[/url].
As the season entered the first week of June, it became evident to the Bad Gnus management team that the starting pitching needed to be upgraded. The fifth spot in the rotation had become a sore spot. Gary Johnson was on the Brooklyn trade block, so the team decided to negotiate a deal for him.
Johnson, at OS29, is a relatively young pitcher with high endurance who may yet improve slightly upon his high B+ overall rating. He will add depth as a fifth starter who, hopefully, will improve on his 2029 start and perform much as he did in the past two seasons.
In exchange for Johnson, the Bad Gnus parted with a 2nd round free agent pick and Marion, an OS26 pitcher who may help the Gothams at some future date.

Cleveland are in a tight three team race and arms are in short supply so I reached out to Brooklyn, we danced a bit and the deal was done. Ferguson is a mediocre back of the rotation/#3 guy out of the bullpen sort but Elliott was done in Cleveland and I can't find at bats for Smith so I made the deal.
In Smith Brooklyn gets a potentially useful OF bat who is already red lettered in PVR and Elliott is a solid mentor who had an OPS over .800 last season.

With pitchers dropping like flies, plus the impending declines of four members of my staff, I was approached by Boston regarding a deal for Fallon.

I think Conrad has a good chance to make high A- overall with a control heavy bundle and be a back of the rotation starter or a 100 inning + guy out of the pen but I'm in a dogfight right now and, when healthy, Fallon is a great addition to my bullpen. As I said to Chuck "I hope I don't end up regretting this one".

Selfishly this deal worked for me as I get a majors-ready young pitcher (Clive Conrad...nee Jeff Cox prior to his conversion to Atheism) who I can pitch the hell out of this year and next without worrying about results and hope for improves. I think Conrad can get to A- overall and B/A Velocity/Control which should be good enough to be a innings eater (given his A- health). And I get younger!

Recently, a couple of teams tendered trade offers of a minor nature. While reviewing the offers, I noticed that the Pops recently placed Sleepy Dozier on the trade block. His skills and ability immediately caught my attention.
The Bad Gnus once again are in a hotly contested pennant race. Our pitching has been stellar, but our offense has been considerably less potent than it was last season. We need to score more runs to support our starting staff. The opportunity to add a quality hitter in his prime who also has an excellent glove was one we could not pass up. Dozier has a history of injuries, but our management team is confident that having his bat in the lineup will enable our team to generate more runs while he plays in the majority of the games on the schedule.
The Bad Gnus front office team is very pleased with the make-up of our new infield. With [url=http://simdynasty.com/player.jsp?player=nobody&mode=stats&id=6987532]Mark Klaus[/url] at 3B, young and improving [url=http://simdynasty.com/player.jsp?player=nobody&mode=stats&id=7390967]Jim Buckner[/url] at SS, Dozier at 2B, and [url=http://simdynasty.com/player.jsp?player=nobody&mode=stats&id=6987527]Billy Hiatt[/url] at 1B, we have a good hitting group with excellent skills in the field. Each player should provide significant contributions for the foreseeable future.
In Jose Canizares, the Pops receive an excellent OF prospect. Our outfielders are aging, but we simply will address that need at a later date. Canizares will be missed, but he should get an opportunity to display his skills at the major league level in Boston very soon. Tony Gray will provide the Pops with a mentor who should provide the youngsters with guidance as they develop.
Hopefully, this exchange will help both teams achieve their goals.

A trade has been completed between the Boston Pops and the New York Hamiltonians. The New York Hamiltonians receive Travis Outlaw (Optioned), Draft Pick - 2030 Round 2 (CLE), Draft Pick - 2030 Round 2 (DET), Draft Pick - 2030 Round 1 (DET), Draft Pick - 2030 Round 2 (BOS) from the Boston Pops in exchange for Draft Pick - 2030 Round 1 (NYA).
There is a lot unknown in this trade. I received a u2u from BRO, offering 3 2nd rounders for my 1st (projected to be 5th overall). I was still thinking about that offer when BOS popped this one onto my desk (see what I did there?). The real deal maker is DET's first rounder this season. I think it will end up being 12th, and I don't think there is a huge difference between 5 and 12 in this year's draft. Also, with VD, I'm going to enjoy having more depth in my minors and spreading my risk over multiple players.

A trade has been completed between the Kansas City River Cats and the Chicago Guppies. The Chicago Guppies receive Pat Smykal from the Kansas City River Cats in exchange for George Dahlgren.
Much of my IF, Sincock, Files and Bailor, had some significant declines in the offseason. I thought I'd best upgrade at SS. In Dahlgren I get a solid hitter and an excellent fielder. I have quite a few good prospects at OF, so Smykal was expendable. Even tho I could spare him, Smykal is a good prospect who has a lot of potential, so Chicago gets a good yoiung prospect while I get an upgrade at SS. The trade should benefit both of us.

A trade has been completed between the Washington Conglomerate and the Chicago Guppies. The Chicago Guppies receive Andy Bertrand, Mel Johnson from the Washington Conglomerate in exchange for Ed Wall, Esteban Jolley.
I saw that the Guppies were looking to move older players, and checked out who was available. I thought Jolley would be a solid pick up to use as my closer, as for Wall, he has put up very solid numbers for years in the league. I give up Bertrand who is a 20 y/o SP prospect drafted in the 2nd round this past year, and Mel Johnson, an 18 y/o second base prospect.

I feel like I got good value for Dahlgren. I'd have preferred pitching or another IF, because I had enough OFs already, but Smykal would become my best OF prospect anyways.

I liked Jolley and was hoping to hang onto him, he had good health, was only OS 30 and had already won a fireman award. After trading Gedeon and Dahlgren though, I decided to take a bit of a gamble here.
Johnson should be pretty good, and while Bertrand is a bit of a risk, we needed some kind of young pitching here. With variable development, it can be worth it taking more risks with players.
If nothing else, I got a bunch of prospects to watch out of the deals I've made, so I feel pretty good about things.

A trade has been completed between the Cleveland Buckeyes and the Baltimore Bay Dogs. The Baltimore Bay Dogs receive [url=http://simdynasty.com/player.jsp?id=6907599]Jerry Malave[/url], [url=http://simdynasty.com/player.jsp?id=8607506]Mike Doty[/url] from the Cleveland Buckeyes in exchange for [url=http://simdynasty.com/player.jsp?id=6948990]Scoop Wright[/url].
Depth is essential in this league with the maximum injury rules in effect . Malave's second year of declines were pretty steep and I wasn't confident that he could fill in for me on a regular basis so I started looking around. Wright is a solid middle infield replacement so I offered up Malave, and his A+ mentor score, plus a marginal prospect in Doty and the deal was done.
Malave will help Baltimore's mentor score and Doty may make 4th outfielder level while Wright will decline after this year so it's a reasonable return for the Bay Dogs and a small upgrade for me. Wright will start against LHP until [url=http://simdynasty.com/player.jsp?id=6807900]Peter Salem[/url] comes back and then join the bench crew.
A small deal but I'm not really in a position to make any big ones right now so a little fine tuning will have to suffice.
