I wouldn't deal Bell and not get a closer in return. You are also giving up the 2 better players in the deal.

Try doing some closer to Rios/Bell/Beltran for K-Rod/Matsui/Matusz

I am staying put with what you have. I know its always a plan to just scoop closers off the WW, but I also wouldnt just give away my closer and go into the season with 1 closer, unless I was getting some good value in return.

I just don't see that value here. I think your offense is good enough that you can hold out until Beltran gets healthy. At which point, I am confident he will outproduce Ibanez.

So after rejecting his original offer, he came back with ibanez and Jp howell for beltran and bell. In my mind this is an automatic reject as well. He seems to want bell and or beltran pretty bad, anybody on his roster worth tryig to get for these players???

You are correct automatic reject. He is trying to steal from you, tell him to come with something serious or stop offering deals.
