Preface: I'm only like 6 months into being in this league so obviously my experiences are limited compared to people who have been in the league longer. I hope this is helpful to any new owners. List is 29 teams because I'm not ranking myself, but if I was I'd be like everyone else in here who makes a list and rank myself number 1.
The Never Online Group
29) Brewers (I don't even know his name) Never Online and when he is online he never responds to PCs, If you're reading this the Daniel Murphy offer is off the table.
28) Dodgers (Also Don't know his name) The only trade talks we had were during the draft, so congrats on being online long enough to not come in last
27) Rockies (Denver) Easy to trade with when he's on, but that roster is a clusterfuck of clusterfucks and he hasn't been on in forever.
The "Okay, Well Make Me An Offer" Group
26) Giants (Paul) The reason Paul is below Bryan is because Bryan will at least sometimes counter with something even if his counters are fucking ridiculous. Paul will say "Player X on the block" and then you say "What are you lookin for Paulie?" and then he says "Make me an offer" and then you will make an offer. Then he will laugh at said offer and accuse you of low balling him and accuse you of trying to ruin the league.
25) Nationals (Bryan) Similar to Paul, low on the list because of how annoying and persistent he can be. I'm not interested in Neil Walker for a first round pick you fuck.
24) Rangers (Bill) Similar to Bryan except not as persistent.
Go Fuck Yourself Group
23) Diamondbacks (Hemmons) Asks for insane prices, also offered me 2.5M for my rule V picks in like the first week i was here
22) Mets (Jack) I actually haven't had any particularly awful experiences with him, but ever since he fucked John over in the handshake deal he can go fuck himself. douchebag.
21) Yankees (Justin) Conversations with Justin consist off
Justin: "Hey What would you give up for Alex Claudio"
Me: "Idk look at my team I don't really need a closer right now tho"
Justin: "I don't want anything on your roster"
or
Justin "You Want Chris Young?"
Me: "no"
2 Hours later
Justin "You want Chris Young?"
20) Rays (Forbz) Says he wants to make big moves in chat and then bitches about the offers he gets.
Rebuilding Group
19) Astros (Max/Elijah) ondeckcircle.proboards.com/thread/10338/quick-confessional
18) Blue Jays (Jackson) Make a fucking meaningful move.
17) Angels (John) You too^
16) Phillies (Khanz) Not as bad as the three above him, but still is hell trading with teams rebuilding as hard as he is.
Never traded with them Group
15)Royals (Brandon) Responds to PCs quickly enough just haven't made a move with him.
14) Indians (Zach) I just like him more than Brandon.
13) Braves (Wood) His Roster is really good and he's active he just doesn't make a ton of trades.
12) Tigers (Alex) I know nothing about him
Big Moves Only Group
11) Reds (Cody) Comes to you to make big trades. Tries to convince you his players are gods gifts a little too much, but overall pretty easy to trade with
10) Cubs (Greg) Similar to Cody except he has bigger names on his roster and is more active and quicker to respond to PCs
9) Orioles (Jeff) Very Active. Quick to respond and knows the value of his own players.
8) Marlins (Kevin) Only moves I've ever made with him were for Elvis Andrus and Blake Treinen and I didn't give up anything substantial in either of those moves and I love Elvis Andrus with all my heart so I love Kevin as well.
7) Pirates (Caleb) Only moves were around the trade deadline when he was buying hard and gave me Jake Rogers for Luke Gregerson. Active Quick to Respond and he won a ring in his first year so top 7.
Active and Not Assholes Group
6) Mariners (Dave) Tells you what he wants. Doesn't make a ton of huge moves, but counters often and doesn't offer bullshit trades.
5) White Sox (Mike) Quick to respond. Has a ton of relievers (which I love). And he's commish so he's gotta be at least top 5.
4) Cardinals (Matt) Similar to Dave. Has a ton of cap so willing to buy players you may not need.
3) Twins (Patty) Has a ton of players and doesn't ask for insane prices. Always online. Will make pointless offers sometimes, but otherwise great.
2) Padres (Noah) pretty much the exact same as Patty, but gave me George Springer when I first came into the league so he gets top 2.
I Love You Group
1) Red Sox (Will) Will. Will. Will. He's the perfect trade partner. Even though he's rebuilding somehow his roster always has something that I can use. Your Catcher go on the 10 day DL and need a replacement for that week? Will has one. Need a RP to give you Holds in a tough matchup? Will has one. Need some cap for a draft pick? Sure Wills got cap. Need some music to listen too during work? Why Will has already made you a specific David Bowie based spotify playlist. There's nothing bad about Will and if you say otherwise you should be banned from this league. I've made at least 75 trades with Will in my 6 months in this league and I can't wait to see that number go up this up coming season. GO WILL!!!
