No, just go to the trade screen with a team and see what offers you can get.
You can scroll from team to team and it'll keep the trade offers from the other teams intact.
Then just decide between them or just not trade.
It's what I do.
Just don't exit out and come back in, then it won't keep the offers there.

Capps dealed to Cubs for Grabow, Fontento and minor leaguer

Matt Capps got his wish today and was traded to the Chicago Cubs for 2B/3B Mike Fontenot, former and now new LHP John Grabow and they also got minor leaguer LHP Carmen Pignatiello. Young RHP Febles was also sent to Chicago to complete the deal and is not thought of as a serious loss as he only had a forkball and threw below 82 MPH. Flamethrower Joel Hanrahan will take over the closers role, he struggled in that role with the Nationals but is thought to be a different pitcher since then. Also, Grabow and Fontenot will be called up to the majors and Fontenot will be the new second basemen with Ronny Cedeno to take over the Shortstop role, this will mean Ramon Vazquez to the bench. RHP Osorio will also be called up

Pirates get:

LHP: Carmen Pignatiello
LHP: John Grabow(3.88 ERA)
2B/3B: Mike Fontenot(.215 AVG, 8 HR)

Cubs get:

RHP Matt Capps
RHP: Febles

Andrew McCutchen is unhappy with the trade.

He suggests dealing for Rafael Betancourt, Joaquin Benoit, or Brian Fuentes.

nah my deals are done.
McCutchen too young for me to listen to him

Longball714 · **Posted:** Sun Aug 09, 2009 7:58 pm

aw dang it :lol:

be sure to pick up Benoit and Fuentes if they become free agents!

jacobye46 · **Posted:** Sun Aug 09, 2009 8:00 pm

the lame this is that there aren't free agents this year because I turned them off, but if I can before free agents then I'll turn it on but I did it to save roster updates that i spent so much time on

Longball714 · **Posted:** Sun Aug 09, 2009 8:01 pm

alright, just trade for them after the season

gocubs09 · **Posted:** Sun Aug 09, 2009 10:05 pm

If Pignatello is on the team, can I be his agent?

San Diego Padres(49-55) @ Pittsburgh Pirates(44-60)

It was a major pitching duel through the first 6 and a half inning between Paul Maholm and a suprising pitcher in Ashby for the Padres who came into today with a 3.77 ERA. It was all quiet until the 7th where Andy LaRoche drove in Milledge with the first run of the day but the Padres came back with an rbi single by Nick Hundley and pinch hitter Chris Burke had an rbi single to give the Padres the lead. In the bottom half with 1 on and 2 outs, Garrett Jones launched a homerun into the right field seats for a 3-2 lead and Hanrahan would get his first save as the closer this year for a 3-2 win.

Padres: 2
Pirates: 3

WP: Maholm (9-8) | LP: Ledezma (1-6) | SV: Hanrahan (1)
HR: Pirates- Jones (17)

Jones: 1-3, 2-R HR
LaRoche: 1-4, RBI
Milledge: 1-3, 2B
Maholm: 8 IP, 2 R

Gwynn: 1-3, 2B, Run
Hundley: 1-3, 2B, RBI
Burke: PH 1B, RBI
Ashby: 6 IP, 0 R

Lastings Milledge's stats were not included through July 1. So, he would like to know his current stats right now.
