Accept. I’ve been asked about Hicks by Alex every day since he traded him to me but I managed to hold off til I got an offer I liked. Smith getting recalled today is the only reason I took the offer because I think steals carry such high value. Robertson’s also got good potential and both are young so even though I’ll miss Hicks I’m happy with the return.

[Angels GM (Sean)]

Approve

I understand that it gets annoying having Alex constantly pester you, but you don’t have to take his garbage for your gold! Robertson is well, not good.

Pass... reluctantly

[Pirates GM (Alex)]

Two guys hitting in the .100’s for one of the game’s young, dominant, controllable closers. Boston gets these through too often.

Veto.

[Cubs GM (Heller)]

Sure, I guess (3-1)

[DBacks GM (David)]

Seems really light for a top 15 closer who has 4 more years of control. I get the upside pick with Mallex but don't think it's worth giving up Hicks for.

Veto (3-2)

[Giants GM (Devon)]

Veto (3-3).

Hicks for two guys who couldn't hit water if they fell out of a boat.

[Marlins GM (Andrew)]

I hate to play value police, but this deal is lacking to me. A cheap top 10 closer for a utility infielder and an OF with some potential (neither of whom have looked good this year) just doesn't feel sufficient. Hicks<Edwin, but for reference Edwin Diaz went straight up for Gary Sanchez last year.

Sorry gents. I'd feel very differently if Hicks had been publicly advertised and this was the top offer.

Veto

Points above. Also an “improved” deal has already been posted anyway.
