Frank - Badgers 9:55 AM
Yeah... although we don't really have winter here in Portland
Yuma 9:55 AM
Rain and dark, right? Sort of like a minor league Sitka.
Vic (Claymores) 9:56 AM

Doug - Shisa 9:58 AM

Justin - Bureaucrats 10:17 AM
You! HERE!
Yuma 10:17 AM
Of course. Where else would I be?
They don’t let me in the kitchens any more.
Mike - Borealis 10:18 AM
OK… Some Ground Rules: If you have a trade, please PM me in the forum, and CC your trade partner. I will need the trade partner to the reply to both of us for a trade to be final. I will announce the trade here in the forum - at which point, the two GMs can post in the forum as usual. We’ve already had some business this morning…
Michael - Canton 10:18 AM
Excellent. What’s the record for trades during the meetings?
Denny Hills - Palm Springs Codgers 10:18 AM
I’m trying to remember, how long do the meetings last? Is it four hours or so?
Ron - Akira 10:19 AM
NT here for about 45 min
Mike - Borealis 10:19 AM
We will sim one day every 30-40 minutes, and I will check for any news (FreeAgentSignings) and make the appropriate announcements. If you would like me to check on any rejection letters, let me know via PM here on slack…
Yuma 10:19 AM

Yuma 10:21 AM
Good plan.
RJ - Sandgnats 10:21 AM
Thanks Mike!
Mike - Borealis 10:21 AM
Also, I will be taking my final forum count for CP rewards at noon - all forum posts after noon will count towards next season. You may still post blogs and articles to the Home Page up until midnight. I will attempt to have a final CP accounting tomorrow…

Yuma 10:22 AM
How many elves do you have working for you, Mike?
:+1:

Justin - Bureaucrats 10:22 AM
As many as OSHA allows probbaly
Mike - Borealis 10:22 AM
Well… Horatio is out looking for ghosts, and Ophelia is chewing on the flowers… Reina is lost…
Vic (Claymores) 10:23 AM
Wait. Those aren't elves, they're Oompa Loompas!
Yuma 10:23 AM
And Justin just murdered that little kid he called “Egg.”
Justin - Bureaucrats 10:23 AM
lol
Ron - Akira 10:23 AM
OSHA doesn't restrict how many elves work for you but they have to wear steel toed shoes
Yuma 10:23 AM
Ouch! Unhappy elves.
Denny Hills - Palm Springs Codgers 10:25 AM
The curled part is where the steel is
Evan - Underground 10:25 AM
Mike takes too much pride in his work to outsource it to any old elf (edited)
Regardless of footwear
Yuma 10:25 AM
So he hires underage ones?
RJ - Sandgnats 10:26 AM
Mike graduated from Hogwarts
Mike - Borealis 10:26 AM
One last business piece (I believe) - You can begin posting your CP selections in the following thread in the forum:
http://pebabaseball.com/boards/viewforum.php?f=103
Evan - Underground 10:27 AM
Those of us who posted them early should get bonus CP. Obviously.
Yuma 10:27 AM
Snicker.
Mike - Borealis 10:27 AM
The deadline to get your rewards to me is the Preseason Sim, scheduled for 11/25 - which I believe is the Monday before Thanksgiving…
Now… On with the Show…
Yuma 10:29 AM

RJ - Sandgnats 10:29 AM

I am inspired by the trades he is going to make with Yuma this winter meeting.
Vic (Claymores) 10:32 AM
Ha!
Yuma 10:32 AM
You too, Claymore Man, could make a trade that will have the PEBAverse buzzing until spring training.

Greg! What timing.
Greg - Alleghenies 10:37 AM
Back from Basketball. For the next hour or so, then have to go coach again in 3 hours
Yuma 10:37 AM
Yuma would like to announce that our rosters are open and available. We need to move veterans and acquire either draft picks or cash.
To show you how serious we are:
RP Gato plus any 3 minor leaguers for 1st round pick.
Or 1 minor leaguer for 3d round.
RF Crow plus any 3 minor leaguers for 2d round pick.
Or 1 minor leaguer for 4th round.
RP George plus any 2 minor leaguers for 3d round pick.
Or 1 minor leaguer for 5th round.
Either 1B Harris OR 1B Maye plus any 3 minor leaguers for 3d round pick.
Or 1 minor leaguer for 6th round.
Or … you can have Harris or Maye for a 5th rounder.
Or you can have Harris AND Maye for $1.
Or you can imagine all sorts of combinations of above. Yuma will consider any deal that removes veteran players and adds to our collection of draft picks or to our fund of cash. (We have none. Zero. Zilch.)

Anyone want 4 major league players for a 5th round pick?
Mike - Coqui 10:38 AM
Everybody is going to wish they had a Torres to pinch hit and get on base in the 9th. Old guy needs a home. (edited)
Yuma 10:38 AM
Or the entire Yuma starting lineup for $3 million.
Make that 2 mil.
Duane - KyT - Thoroughbreds 10:39 AM
you are selling Yuma for 2mil?
Yuma 10:39 AM
Just the starting lineup. Want it?
RJ - Sandgnats 10:39 AM
How much for a gallon of water @Yuma?
Yuma 10:39 AM
Our owners embezzled ALL our funds.
Duane - KyT - Thoroughbreds 10:40 AM
hmmm can it be done to trade a team for cash and the recipient gets a new farm?
Yuma 10:40 AM
Water will run you a 5th round pick per 100 gallons.
I don’t want a new farm. I have plenty of players to replace my starting lineup.
Mike - Borealis 10:41 AM
As you all know, we have added the much anticipated Rookie League to our PEBAverse - The International Baseball Coalition (IBC), and I would like to announce the Leagues new logo:

Ron, it isn’t their money, it was the team’s funds. They robbed the bank and split the state or country. We can’t find them. FBI is looking though.
Mike - Borealis 10:45 AM
We have our second trade of the day!!!
Ron - Akira 10:45 AM
Now if you took it that would be embezzling.
Patrick - Havana 10:46 AM

Ron - Akira 10:46 AM

Mike - Borealis 10:46 AM
This one between Bakersfield, who sends RP Bart Belcham (AAA) to Amsterdam, in exchange for C Ed Wright (AA), in arguably the day’s biggest deal!!

Denny Hills - Palm Springs Codgers 10:48 AM
Better call Saul
Yuma 10:48 AM
ARGHHHHH!!
Saul could help.
Mike - Borealis 10:48 AM
As part of the Rookie League deal, teams were allowed to bring back, free of charge, retired players to fill the role of pitching coach, hitting coach and manager. Be sure to check out the IBC rosters and see which all-timers have returned to their old haunts!!
Greg - Alleghenies 10:48 AM
Saul can help anyone
Yuma 10:49 AM
All that money hidden in his wall!
I could use a little of that.
Greg - Alleghenies 10:49 AM

Evan - Underground 10:49 AM
There's always money in the banana stand
Yuma 10:49 AM
Maybe my owners all moved to Fargo to join Saul in the Cinnabon business.
Is that Saul’s number, Greg?
Greg - Alleghenies 10:50 AM
Yes it is
Yuma 10:50 AM
Thank you. I’ll call him as soon as I complete a few trades.
Mike - Borealis 10:51 AM
We also have a whole new world of artwork for our new venture, so we will begin out Rookie League Fashion Show with the Hanguk League, located in South Korea!!

The second piece is still in draft form, but I will present it as a point of discussion, regarding the concept of Construction Loans for building new stadia. Because this really has never come up (to my knowledge), the language regarding the consequence of defaulting on a loan was left vague. We look to clarify the penalties, with the following language:
“PEBA Construction Loans
Ballpark Construction and Team Relocation (but not Renovation) costs are eligible for a PEBA Construction Loan. GM’s may apply to the PEBA Board for a loan to help cover the cost of the Ballpark construction. If the Board agrees to the loan, the GM will be given a repayment schedule from the board stating how many years you have to repay the loan, and the annual amount to be paid. Interest will be added to the annual loan repayment at 1% of outstanding amount at due date. For example: a $30M loan for 3-years, with three-$10M payments, will have payments of $10.3M, $10.2M, and $10.1M.
Loan repayments will be made between the start of the offseason and the end of the Winter Meetings of each year, and teams must have the available cash to make their payments. GM’s are free to make that payment timing decision, but it would be wise not to wait long.
Defaulting on a first payment will result in a fan interest penalty and a penalty fee of 30% on your next payment (on a $30M loan, that would be a $9M penalty). Defaulting on a second consecutive payment repeats the punishment and may well result in foreclosure of the loan which would result in repossession of the new ballpark. As long as the PEBA is in possession of the ballpark, the League will garnish 10% of team revenue each month until the loan is no longer in default.
The risk/reward of a PEBA Construction Loan is clearly high, so teams will want to have a clear picture of their finances before agreeing to take on debt.”
We have another trade before we press on for another day…
Yuma will send 1B Dominic Maye, P Erskine Hill (AA) and P Josh Cheney (AAA) to The Evil Evas for BAK’s 2030 4th round pick, DUL’s 2030 5th round pick and NT’s 2030 5th round pick… (please note the wonkiness of the trade picks in-game will prevent the in-game message to be incorrect)…
Yuma 11:44 AM
Things are hopping in Yuma, guys! Come’n get ’em while we got ’em!
Vic (Claymores) 11:45 AM
A league composed only of Steve Hotts would be problematic. Each team would be stuck on its first game, because the opposing Steve Hott pitchers would each have perfect games, only to be replaced by relievers who would throw a succession of perfect innings ... an endless loop of perfection.

Mike - Borealis 1:28 PM
There have been tons on minor signings…
Denny Hills - Palm Springs Codgers 1:29 PM
Also, that’s kind of a value judgement....who are we to declare how important a contract signing is!?
Mike - Borealis 1:31 PM
Well, if it’s a minor deal, they must be a minor leaguer…

OK Guys! I’m going to call it an end to the Winter Meetings! I am waiting on a pair of confirmations of deals which I will include. I am going to update the traded pick list first, so I can update the list in-game, I’ve some histories to fix, and then I will update the League file - It’ll probably take and hour. If you want to continue to chat with one another and send me some more trades, feel free to do so.

Would consider moving Flint Butler instead of Torres but would actually want something back for him as he has a bit of power. These were my leadoff and 2nd hitters last year.

Mike, I’m having problems reposting our trades in the Forums. I enter all the info, click on Post and it looks fine. But when I return to the list of topics, it isn’t there.
