I must object to this trade. The rookie really got fleeced; those picks will still be playing long after Whiting is gone.

I agree, but can't void it now.

I retract my objection since this guy seems to be determined to find out for himself why we don't trade our draft picks away. That's his right, as long as he doesn't drive his team into the ground and then give up on it.

I wasn't really accusing you of cheating. Anybody else would have taken this deal because it's a dream for the giver. Gus will be screwed when this guy abandons the mess he made, but Jason needs to learn his own lessons.

This is the key to me, but there's no way to know with an owner who has only been around a month but has already joined many leagues.

No one is accusing anyone of cheating first and foremost.

Just trying to preserve teams for the next owner should someone come in without much knowledge of mfn.
As it stands right now, I have PM’d him with advice but he’s not replied , which would be nice. So as such he’s on probation
