PHI/TAM Trade (LM Veto - contract misunderstanding)

[Deleted]

Tampa Bay Rays acquire:

1B/OF Eric Thames

Philedalphia Phillies acquire:

2020 3rd round pick

As a rebuilding team I’m trading Thames who’s a rental for a pick so I can continue my rebuild. Nice dealing with ya Terry!!!!!!

[Rays GM (Terry)]

Accept. Great piece to add heading into the playoffs

[Orioles GM (Denver)]

Thames contract?

[Deleted]

Veto. Thames is on scale for two more seasons and is not a rental. Has great production potential as seen last year and coupd still fit into a rebuild. Worth more than a 3rd round gamble prospect next year.

[Tigers GM (Max)]

I'm going to just LM veto this trade. Apologies to Rays GM (Terry) and I don't think you are at all at fault here. Ahmed just needs to learn who is and who is not expiring. With "Thames is expiring" clearly being the crux of this deal, I have to shoot it down fully and let the two of you go back to the drawing board after Ahmed takes a deep dive into the rules and understands who is and is not controlled

Trade vetoed, no changes made
