You do have some weird offers in your league, but
Damon is worth a #1 rookie (he is better than a
Wells, Mateo, Bergeron, Hermanson, who will all
go in the 1st round) while Stottlemeyer is a waste. The buildup for Norton is a bit far-fetched (Chicago may try Konerko at 3B), and offering Will Clark or Bichette for a #2 starter, good luck.

But this has always occured. How many of us offer
Morandini or Girardi for a FA upgrade. These players are going to get released, but maybe, just maybe some team will have some interest and something may happen.

I'd rather have too many trade forums than not enough. Its better than the constant bombardment of trade offers that you have to keep rejecting.
I get tired of rejecting offers that have no benefit to your team.

My advise though is to just ignore them. One day you may need a closer and the only team that can help you is the one that annoys you now.
