I remember a certain GM wanting my Rule V picks last year.....

That’s his point. Rule v picks have value. Cubs GM is giving them away because he ascribes no value to them. KC GM is suggesting if the draft picks component of the league is not for him, maybe the league in general is not for him

I get that fully...some GM just generally don't like draft picks or Rule V picks I general. Thinking of ex-Philly GM Jim. To each their own.

Miguel Almonte #18 ranked BAL
Ceasar Izturis Jr #27 Ranked SEA
Aldalberto Mejia one of the top arms in the Twins system. These aren't give away players.

Please delete this because it doesnt belong here.

#27 in Seattle farm should be framed. The Mariners have the weakest farm system in MLB history. #27 for the Mariners is not something to brag about. Mejia is not one of the top arms in the Twins system. He is a back end rotation upside guy and more likely a journeyman long reliever. I didn’t veto the trade. But I agree with the GMs here who think that Cubs GM is not cut out to be in this league. Sorry if that is offensive but I think the track record speaks for itself.

Fair. Not all such GMs that feel that way have Mike Clevinger sitting in their farm.

I think you are confused with you asking me for my Rule V and not offering me enough compensation for them. Common misconception.
