And thanks for getting back to me you fucking idiot...you don't trade a player right away without hearing what the MAJORITY of the teams are willing to offer.
You just don't get it.

BTW, that thinking of I can't stand that player because he's a Yankee is so laughable. I could have Bryce Harper on my team, and I wouldn't trade him to just trade him for older players.

I sent Cincy a comparable offer, but I can see how he liked Florida's better.... still, would have been nice to at least get a counter or a response to the offer and a chance to upgrade on the deal.
Best CC deal that has been made so far.... but still, as a famous GM would say...
meh

But what the hell does Cincy get out of this? Seriously. They get a good Home Run hitter, but he's not a top notch hitter. He has not been over .900 OPS in ANY season. Traschel performs pretty solid, but he's not a building block for a team. He's really not that good anyway. Those 2 players make Cincy's current squad from a very atrocious team to an atrocious team.
And the 1st isn't going to be anything special unless Florida tears down everything.

That first could be pretty nice bu this isn't good at all, trading cc needs to eat an all around bonafide stud

The 99 class is loaded though.

It is....for some reason I was thinking it was the next draft, not this upcoming one. So this draft pick really isn't that great then. Florida is 11 games over .500...no matter what, it will be a MID-1st at best then.

My pick isn't going to be great, I still have plenty of talent. But this draft is loaded.
It's all irrelevant though, it's not my 1st

So the Reds are dealing their first in addition to CC?? They already have their '99 1st...
