Justified to be upset? (1 Viewer)

Team A is in 2nd place. Team B is in 9th.

4x4, NL only 10 teams.

Trade 1

Team A gets

Ryan Theriot (14B)

Vance Worley (10A)

Jason Motte

Matt Garza (18A)

for

Brandon Wood (10A)

Juan Nicasio (10A)

Brett Myers (3B)

Jorge Delarosa (2A)

Trade 2

Team A gets

Kerry Wood (3A)

Clayton Kershaw (18A)

Jason Heyward (10B)

Ryan Hanigan (5A)

Jason Bay (12A)

for

Buster Posey (10B)

Ronny Paulino (10A)

Brandon Lyan (6B)

Carlos Gomez (1A)

Madison Bumgarner (10B)

Roger Bernadina (2A)

Homer Bailey (10A)

A means first-year contracts, so those salaries are in effect for 2012. B means 2nd year or beyond and salaries go up $4 next year for each player.

Motte was cut so he's semi-irrelevant.

What would you do if you were in this league?

team b got nothing in trade 1. myers at $7 next year will be cut. he won't cost $7 in any nl-only 4x4 in 2012. if he's in the nl. delarosa is coming off tommy john surgery. you can get him for $1 in the draft next year.in trade 2, he traded for damaged goods. who knows if posey will ever be the same?

Team A didn't get anything either. Garza's the best player in the deal, but his salary looks pretty huge.

in trade 2, he traded for damaged goods. who knows if posey will ever be the same?

You'd be in the minority if you're writing Posey's career off after one injury. There's two very promising young players on either side of the deal (Kershaw/Heyward and Posey/Bumgarner). Don't see the issue.
