Calculated Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 So, Friday night I offered a trade and the other owner accepted it, but it is only going to pass Monday morning on yahoo. The trade involved me giving up Devonta Freeman, but he just got injured today and didn't return to the game. What am I supposed to do in this situation? The other owner hasn't mentioned anything, so I'm unsure if they are aware or not. I would feel like a d*** if I just let it go through and the owner wasn't aware, just to find that their newly acquired asset is possibly a toss up for next week. I wasn't watching the game, so I'm not sure how serious the injury is, but I at least got a notification about his status update. Do I say something? Do I just let it go through and not look back? The receiving owner is in first place, but are seriously hurting at RB, meanwhile I'm stacked and was trying to unload someone before the trade deadline.

Shaft Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 You did nothing wrong and neither did the other owner. Let things be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XFlash Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 trade was accepted. Injury is unfotunate. If he accepted the trade after the injury, then maybe..... I see no issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seattle Beerdrinker Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 Years back - I once dealt a really good WR who ended up tearing a ACL in practice the day after the trade went through. I felt bad, so I offered a choice of a couple guys as a replacement (wasn't as good as original guy, but better than nothing)... I think I would give the owner that option as a goodwill gesture if his injury is serious Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I texted him and offered to stop the trade but he took him anyway on a gamble (that didn't pan out). After that season was over I abolished the trade window, now they're effective immediately.

Calculated Posted November 11, 2019 Author Share Posted November 11, 2019 If I just let it be and it turns out that his injury is severe and is missing time, what would you think about giving to the other owner the option of reversing the trade if they wish to do so? Since we are technically past the trade deadline I don't think it would be fair to the other owners in the league, that the two of us continues trade negotiations and try to work something else out. Just the option to undo the trade and that's that. I'm the commish in the league, so I don't want it to come across like I'm trying to bend the rules for myself.

1fastdoc Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 I'd offer to reverse it but that decision should come quickly either way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good thing it is a league with a human commish not some online thing with the web site having full control, you'd be stuck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dcat Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 It's a done deal the moment he accepted the offer. The wait period for protests is completely irrelevant to that. Trade goes through notwithstanding Freeman stubbed his toe during the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweetlew Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 I had a trade earlier this season trading Jarvis Landry for Antonio Brown when he was released from the Raiders. Even though there was no news of Brown being picked up by the Patriots, our league understood that the trade was still to continue. No matter what.

millworkguy Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 I think the lesson here is dont accept an offer before the player has played Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other person didn't say anything when I offered to possibly work something else out, so we just left everything be. I think the lesson is to remove the trade window from the league next season. It's only use is to review/veto possible collusion, but the commish could easily just call for a vote among the league if a collusion trade is made.
