I put Carpenter on the trading block, thinking I need a legit closer to make a late run, while also keeping next season in mind.

 

Both of these trades were offered by teams ahead of me in the standings. I'm 5 of 17.

 

Trade offer 1: I was offered R Johnson and Wickman for Carpenter...I don't think so (But this guy also has H Street and Isringhausen. I don't want the latter but should I make a Carpenter for Street offer?)

 

Trade offer 2: I was offered Hoffman and M DeRosa for Carpenter...this doesn't seem like too bad of a deal for me.

 

Should I give up Carpenter in offer 2 or propose my variation of offer #1, or just hold onto him? thanks

Why let go of Carpenter at all? The guy is a perennial Cy Young candidate.

 

You're getting robbed in both trades imo.

 

Wickman and Hoffman are too old. Same with Izzy. See if you can get JJ Putz or Joe Nathan or Street or BJ Ryan.

Both trades stink. Don't do it unless ya can get Street.

It looks to me as though your team could use offense more than anything.

 

I wouldn't do either of those trades. Carpenter is a franchise player. Don't let him go without receiving the compensation deserving of a franchise player.
