My best trade was for Griffey Jr., he went on to hit 35+ homeruns and knocked in 178 RBIs. Jacobi, who I traded, hit 7 homeruns and 84 RBIs. I got the better end of the deal, especially since Griffey had a good season and was easy to trade for a young player. :)

In 07 i had alot of good trades. clemens for felix, mussina for Sabathia, Pettitte for Santana, Rivera for K-Rod.
In 08 i did not have alot of good trades, mainly because it is harder to trade. I managed to get Soriano for Holliday, Troy and Brian Fruentes + 5k

I'd say getting any team to take Carl Pavano is a great trade. Mine was Pavano for Matt Garza.

I think I've got the winner here.

Yankees Get:

Joe Blanton

I Get:
Jeter
A-Rod
Posada
3000 PP

OMFG.

I promptly traded Jeter and Posada to the Phillies for 40000 PP and then A-Rod to the Rays for 35000 PP!
So in the end I turned Joe Blanton into 78000 PP!!!

I was just trying to dump Blanton and I get this...

PS I know I accidentally made a different topic for this... oops...

Today I got this trade

Pirates Get
K. Johnson
Kotsay
Infante
1 PP

Braves Get (That's Me)
F. Sanchez
McLouth


I get a better 2B and CF than the Pirates plus I have T. Perez as a utility guy so I don't need Infante.

Okay, silly question. I seem to be losing grounds in the points game, so I traded some of my players for points. I probably should've confirmed before doing that, but do I still have to pay their salaries even if they go to another team?

The reason I ask is because after trimming my roster, I'm still losing ground. Maybe I need to actually play more games and earn points instead of skipping half of them.

What am I doing wrong here?
