Please process my FA pick up (Justin Duchscherer) along with the ARZ trade before doing this trade.

I am taking a bit of a chance in this trade that I can either A) negotiate a contract or B) he ops to take his option year. I have a friendly agreement with tampa in place between him and I if he opts out of the contract. I think getting one of the top pitchers in the game in his prime is worth the risk.

I agree, Price going to a NL team is better then a AL team, and those guys should help me in my future. And yes we have a friendly agreement if he does opt out.

The agreement we have between us is that if Price opts out or I cannot resign him after this season that I can get back either Gonzalez or Morris. That would give me the 1st round compensation for Price along with one of the players back.

Last night I backed out of this deal 3 times and after more thought and having a night to sleep on it, I am going to back out of it for the final time. I am giving up way too much for the risk that I am going to assume. Even if I do get price to stay in Chicago it will be because he is the highest paid player iin the league and that goes against what I am trying to build. I really really want him in Chicago but the cost is too great in the means of salary and cost of prospects.

How are you gonna back out again once you already agreed in the forums? Wouldnt that go under the being an ass rule?

terrythek · 10-15-2010, 01:09 PM

To be honest, I am really uncomfortable with our agreement. I first stated that I would want one of those two players back if Price went to FA. You agreed and I posted, after I posted the trade on the forums you replied to me that I would get a "prospect" between 87-90. I started to feel uncomfortable because you went back against what I first agreed with and that was either of the prospects mentioned, you can now work the out and give me a prospect I dont want if either io them jump and have a higher ceiling than 87-90 if Price walks to FA.

Because you changed the wording in what you said, I will only agree to this trade if this stipulation is involved in the trade and approved by the trade mods.

In regards to atlbravesfan, I don't see how a trade that does not involve you or your team is any of your concern. If I or one of the trade mods wanted your insight, we would have asked for it. The league has a policy in place that only teams involved and trade mods comment in the trade threads.
