Buyers and Sellers for the second half

July 21, 2022, 08:01:07 AM

Hello folks

Bob here from The Great Auk. Enjoying the MLB season and my first Mutiny League season very much. I knew my Auk would have some issues but my dang Chicago W Sox have to be the most uninspired team in pro ball in quite a while.   They need a heart transplant to quote somebody from somewhere.

I'm sensing not of a of tank and rebuild actions in this league.   Other than a lower pick in the amateur draft there is no real incentive to tank.   Amateur draft picks tend to have a 3-6 year window before they get to the major leagues.

Still that being said The Great Auk would consider moving any of my players if a contender thinks the acquisition of such would improve their championship chances. Basically we will be answering the phone (email) if another team reaches out rtm5477@yahoo.com

Bob,

Didn't realize this had been posted here. I've moved it to your Hot Stove.

One comment though - we've definitely seen some value in tanking. I did it after the 2015 season and was able to load up on players which has fueled my run for the last 6+ years. I would say that Craig did something similar 2-3 years ago and he ended up winning the series. Other teams have done similar things. Not all of us can be Jason and be really good every year.
