ARBA Message Board

Eric · Eric

As a public service, I've decided to post an explanation of this complex topic. It is always the hardest part of the ARBA rules for new owners to understand and can even trip up some who have been around for a while. It's almost as if our rules have developed over the course of 3 decades and been written b...

At long last, the Shiner Blondes have successfully made a trade this off-season! They will send Jonathan Loaisiga, the SHI #1, and $200K in crisp non-sequential bills to WAS for relievers Kirby Yates and Jake Diekman. It's a return for Diekman, who played for SHI in 2014 and 2015. Of course, nobod...

In their latest deal with Redwood, Surprise added yet another 30-something player to their weird post-championship roster. This time its hurler Kyle Gibson joining the Zombies along with the RDW #4 in exchange for the SUR #4 and $300K in unmarked 2-dollar bills. Is the Surprise GM just trying to g...

HAR sends $450k to MUD for their #1

Josh

Woo (or Woob?) is interest in acquiring some additional early round draft picks. We have some extra cash. Hit me up if interested. Josh

Surprise continued their confusing post-championship transformation by acquiring veteran OF Cameron Maybin and the WAS #3 from Washington in exchange for young pitchers Jon Duplantier, JoJo Romero and $140K in small untraceable bills. Sure, we're rebuilding with one 30-something at a time....

EGR sends 40k to RDW in exchange for Tony Kemp. Steve, Eric, and Tom just had panic attacks. Rick to confirm.

Eric · Eric

Now that Surprise has achieved their primary 2020 goal of making the Ross Brothers Reunion happen, they can focus some attention on figuring out the rest of the roster. It's currently a strange mix of youngsters and veterans, with pieces that don't fit together optimally. They definitely have so...

Shiners mad spending spree in the CFA auction has inevitably caused some overcrowding on the roster and theres simply no room for Yairo Munoz. He just turned 25, has 199 adjusted PA and is rated at SS/2B/3B/OF. Although he didnt hit as well as the prior season, hes still adequate for a utility guy. S...

Camden sends Mudville $850k for Liam Hendriks.

Dennis

Quad Cities is looking for a shortstop. Believe me I will consider anyone or anything. Dennis

EGR is looking to move Domingo Santana to his best defensive position: DH. If you have an OF of reasonable quality with better than a LF5 rating to offer, let's talk. Picks and cash can be had most easily in return. Thanks, Mike

In the harsh light of day after the marathon madness of a CFA auction, many of us suffer from regrets over our choices and must somehow find a way to live with the consequences. For Steve and Gallatin Valley, it was spending $100K on Tyson Ross as their 16th pitcher. However, this is his lucky day becau...

All, Are you feeling the post C/FA blues? Did you spend too much and think to yourself, I wish that I could recoup 40k by unloading a LH reliever who is decent against LH batters? Boy do I have great news for you! SCG is willing to offer 40k in small bills for the services of a LHRP that is good against lefties...

Ryan Brasier needs a new home! He crushed RHB and his card reflects that. Not so great against LHB but not so bad as to make you ill to look at it. Besides, who PH's for their monster RHB hitters anyway? Looking for cash. He is priced to move and will go to the first quasi-decent offer.
