Sounds like we might have a number of franchises out there that could benefit from contraction. This is supposed to be an entertaining use of our time not a verbal p*ssing match. Best thing is to email another manager with a trade idea after giving it some thought (your roster needs - their roster needs) and submitting a reasonable trade if it is appropriate. It would be great if everyone responded in a timely manner but it isnt always the case. Acting in a pleasantly persistant manner can be a good way to go. Being courteous and respectful is an effective way to be in Purebaseball and life in general.
