Fantasy baseball etiquette?

Question

an owner (who happens to be my friend) agreed to trade me ian kinsler for b.j. upton, jason giambi, milton bradley, and orlando cabrera. now, even though he accepted the trade, he wants to cancel it becasue kinsler is on fire. i feel like if he accepted it, it's a done deal (unless it gets vetoed). what do i do?

Answer 1

if the trade has been offered and accepted, it is out of his hands. HE is showing poor etiquette by wanting to renege. when you make a trade, you are taking the chance that the guy you're unloading might catch fire, or he might get hurt. either way, when the parties have accepted and put it in the hands of the league for a vote, there is nothing either of the 2 teams can or should be able to do about it. if there were no risks involved in making a deal or playing fantasy sports it wouldn't be fun.
