Looks like you're league has a case of "the loser with multiple teams-itis". Half the league is probably the same dude using different Id's. Maybe one guy in your league is dumb enough to accept an offer like that, but probably not two, and certainly not three. It's one of the down-falls of public leagues. That sucks, especially if you're new to this, I'd hate for this to be you first fantasy baseball experience. Most likely he'll keep this up until his whole team looks like the 1st round of most drafts. Try and get another team, you won't be having much fun in this league.

Dude, you got scammed. This is the oldest trick in the book. You're being cheated out of your money. Now I am convinced the same person owns half the teams, and he's your commish.

Well, if that's the case. No good commish would let that crap pass. Something stinks here. There is no way 3 different owners would accept crap deals like that. So either you have a league of cheaters, or you're making this whole story up. Only you know for sure which one.

salary cap dump or not it doesn't make sense to me that he is willing to move 3 STUD pitchers for a bunch of throw ins.

Yeah, there is something very wrong there. Either the guy has no idea what he is doing (which to me isnt cheating), or there is some seriously lame cheating going on. Total rookies may just not realize that 3 decent players are not as valuable as one great one. Add up their stats and its way more right?

How much money is on the line? Is it enough to bother cheating like this for? In any case, I've never vetoed a trade and think it should only be done for clear situations of cheating, but in this case, those trades (and probably the team) needs to be canceled for the good of the league.

Please help with mine:
