First of all, as tempting as it is to use that fancy reply button, please refrain from doing so - we cannot grab the full text of the meetings when you do that….
Frank - Amsterdam Lions 10:17 AM
Stay 6 feet away from your trade partner at all times

Secondly, regarding trades…

No trades that improve Bakersfield or Palm Springs, I bet...

Scott - Zephyrs 10:18 AM
only trades that improve Reno
Kevin - Evas 10:18 AM
Extra CP rewards when a trade involves picks?
Double if none of the picks originally belonged to the either team?
Yuma
10:18 AMAll trades must go through and include Yuma.
Mike - Borealis 10:18 AM
Once you have agreed upon a trade, you will need to PM me in the forum, and CC Dylan and your trade partner - who then must reply to all and confirm.
Frank - Amsterdam Lions 10:19 AM
For each draft pick, CP is doubled exponentially. Double again if it's a previously traded pick
Dylan - Wind Dancers 10:19 AM
-25cp if you trade with SS

Mike - Borealis 10:19 AM
Once we have a confirmed trade, Dylan will process it and I will announce it. Once I’ve announced the trade, you may post it as usual in the forum…

11:07
Speaking of whom …
11:07
Little Gato bursts into the ballroom where the PEBA Winter Meetings are being held and cries out, “I want to play ball for anyone but Yuma! Please, trade for me!”
Gato grabs the first man he spots in a jacket and tie and repeats his plea. “Trade for me. Gato. Good pitcher.” But the man shrugs and says, “Sorry, I’m just a waiter.”
Gato is distraught. How can he communicate his dire situation to the men in this room? He jumps on top of a table and cries out, “Please, gentlemen, listen to me! I cannot play for Yuma. Lose, lose, lose, that is all they do. I must win some day. Please, trade for me, I promise best season of my career!”
Denny Hills - Palm Springs Codgers 11:07 AM
RJ - Sandgnats 11:08 AM
When is the new merchandise released @Yuma?
Yuma
11:08 AMAs Gato is escorted by security out of the ballroom, at least one GM comes forward to make an offer. Who is it?
Ron - Akira 11:09 AM
Sorry, I've already traded for him once. Someone elses turn.
Denny Hills - Palm Springs Codgers 11:10 AM
Is this one of those logic puzzles
Frank - Amsterdam Lions 11:11 AM
It's an illogic puzzle
Yuma
11:11 AMYes, Denny, and you are the solution. What do you want for Gato?

Mike - Borealis 11:23 AM
The Office of the Commissioner would like to remind everyone that starting today, CP rewards will be processed. To have your reward processed, you will need to post it in the CP thread in the forum, and mark your selection as FINAL. Please feel free to message me if you are unsure about anything. I will have a final CP tally up later this evening, and you have until May 7 to post your selections (though sooner is much appreciated)…
11:24
And with that, the Commissioner recognizes his fellow Board member from the State of Illinois….

I remember Sanchez... USC guy (I think?) that the Jets thought would be their savior
Jaime - Kalamazoo 11:32 AM
I think we can work that into the budget.
11:33
@Frank - Amsterdam Lions he was the savior... For 3 seasons.... but yeah that’s the one.
Frank - Amsterdam Lions 11:34 AM
I feel like USC quarterbacks are typically NFL letdowns... but then again, most college QB's are

Yuma
12:10 PMAs security was escorting Gato out of the hotel, a messenger came running down to the lobby from the ballroom. “Mr. Gato, Mr. Gato!” the young lad called.
Gato stopped in his tracks and the security guards let go his arms as the messenger blurted out, “You got it … what you wished for. They’re gonna trade you!”
Gato nearly collapsed. “Really? You not fooling me?”
“No, no, it’s real,” the messenger said.
“Who traded for me?” Gato asked.
The messenger shrugged. “I don’t know,” he said.
“No matter,” said Gato. “I don’t care. I will not pitch in Yuma any more.” And with that he grinned a grin as large as the stadium he would be leaving. “I am Yuman Being no more!”

Michael - Canton 1:15 PM
Fun inside note.. the move to Madison, was originally discussed and planned for the 2024 season. So that would have been New Jersey moving to Madison. Additionally, at that time we had to make good on Duluth (I forget) giving up their minor league team that was in Madison at the time
1:16
I forget if we gave them a pick or players for that
Mike - Borealis 1:16 PM
With that, we conclude the 2030 Winter Meetings. Thanks to Dylan for his hard work behind the scenes, and thank you to all that have attended this fun event!!

Look for a new file to be posted soon - and please download that before making an export. All exports before 10am were accepted - if you sent something after 10am (PT that is), you will need to redo your work…
1:18
AND… Remember, exports from this file will be your last chance to protect a player from the Rule 5 draft…
