Kansas City - Boston

[Ace]

Veto.

I don't like being the bad guy and wanted some time to think about this and canvass opinion from outside the league.

My conclusion is that the trade block is pretty much mandatory for players like Acuna unless you're getting a great deal which isn't the case here.

I think the value is very poor personally, but as always the way to find out what the market will bear is to let people know that a player is potentially available.

With Mondesi injured the 'tremendous help now' comes in the form of Baddoo and Muller which doesn't seem worth eschewing the time to explore other options to me.

As well as not being a good trade for Boston in my opinion i also think it's bad for the league in general when a top 5 dynasty player is dealt with arguably no top 100 players in this format coming back.

I've got nothing against people putting work in to make deals, but with players on the level of Acuna i do think there's a collective drain on league enjoyment (and hence rise in apathy) when GMs feel they never got the chance to make a pitch for a superstar because there was no reasonable way to know he would be traded.
