I'm not a believer of unfair trades. With this talk of veto of the Ubaldo trade and now the Gallardo trade, I've come to realize that if BOTH teams want the deal, then why not give it to them. All trades won't be fair (not saying they aren't), but to veto a trade that both teams want is ridiculous in my opinion. I mean, FCM strives to be like real life, but in real life, trades don't get vetoed because of unfairness. You can't really base your decision between an established player and a prospect. Anything can happen to a player with a different team. And in top of that, sometimes talent is half the game. You can't do much without maintaining a healthy budget, and I think that's the biggest thing with Gallardo right now.
As much as I don't favor having trade mods in the league, I think as long as both teams know all the circumstances, but still want to do the deal, then who are we to tell them that they can't do the trade. After all, a trade only affects two teams. If the league is afraid of a team ruining their farm system and then forces the GM to leave, we should be more confident that FCM is full of dedicated players.
Bottomline is, if two teams agree to a trade, and after trade mods / admins vote to it, and both teams STILL agree to the trade - i think it should get approved.
On a less serious note, I just noticed that 63% of the trades in the veto forum contain either the Cincinnatti Reds AND OR New York Yankees.
I think it's time we give these teams a break and stop picking on them. :P
