Crazy Trades 2008

[duckbillgates]

I know Sportsline and ESPN allow you to see recent trades from other leagues, and sometimes they are so jaw-dropping they deserve to be shared.

For example, I just saw this trade today:

Johnny Cueto
Chris Duncan
Alex Gordon
Rich Hill
Jason Isringhausen
Kelly Johnson
James Loney
Oliver Perez
Alex Rodriguez
Joakim Soria
Troy Tulowitzki

FOR

Jose Reyes

That's right. An 11-for-1 trade. And it apparently went through.

So keep an eye out when you're scouting players and if you see a trade that makes you chuckle, share it here.

NOTE: Please don't post trade questions here, just examples and discussion of wild trades.

Not to be an A-Hole, but I do not see the point in this post. Obviously this trade is from a free league where everything goes. Crazy trades from money leagues would be a better topic.

In my money league someone accept Jason Barlett and RJohnson for Cano. Somebody doesn't understand the concept of a slow start.

But you are being an A-Hole, or at least a snob. Who cares about money leagues? Is that where most cafe members play?

This one isn't about baseball, but the original post made me remember it...

3-4 years ago someone offered me there entire team for Mario Lemieux. Literally. Everyone on their roster.

You'd have to drop your whole team to accept the trade I bet there were no "can't cut" lists back then too.

Yep. On top of that he didn't have more than 1 or 2 guys I would have played over my guys.

Cano was dropped in one of my leagues. That's worse than a trade - drop him and you get NOTHING in return!

Man, as much as I hate vetoes, that one stinks so bad a commish would HAVE to intervene...

I think it's obvious enough that they were cheating.
