just putting this out there – if anyone with a young arm (Martinez, Syndergaard, etc) are interested in making a swap once the season starts, let me know. i'm going to try to address my keeper pitching issues in the draft, but i'm not crazy about my options (or the competition for young guys i'll think i might be facing).
― Mad Piratical (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Thursday, 15 March 2018 20:26 (six years ago) link
Okay I'll keep Sano (even though it's kind of stupid and disgusting to do so), LeMahieu, Bumgarner, and Stanton.

think they only had one player under 27 (and like 8 players 27-29)

by my count only two teams left to pick keepers -- guns of buxton (similar situation, but reversed: five under 27, one 27-29) and olney the lonely (has about 4028459 players to choose between).

You’re out of luck there - no defunct franchises laying around. You’d be the second new team this year tho, so you’ll have some company with building from the ground up.

With only 13 teams in the league there are a lot of good unclaimed FA's and less incentive to make trades.
I think all of us are really protective of our keeper eligible guys and don't want to trade them away unless there's a really good chance of winning the league. These kinds of trades happened in the past when the top three teams were more closely bunched.
