Guys -
I am looking for some advice on a trade situation that happened today in one of the leagues that I run. It is a work league amongst casual friends, and really runs itself for the most part...in eight years of running the league, this is the first time an issue has popped that I need to make a ruling on.
Team A made a trade offer to Team B three weeks ago. They emailed back and forth, but never finalized the deal. Team A never retracted the offer.
Team B negotiated a deal with Team C today, and said "I will do this, but need to make sure I can do this other deal first. If I can do both, then I will make this deal."
Team B logged on to the site, saw that the offer from Team A was still there, and accepted both offers.
Team A immediately sent an email stating that he never would have accepted this deal and he had no idea that it hadn't been withdrawn.
Team B stated that he assumed it was still available since it was out there, and only agreed to the second trade based on the first one still being available.
If you are the commish, what do you do?
Thanks for any opinions...
