Ruffins/Line Trade

Continue to make efforts to have a pennant race the Ruffins pulled off another deal.  In what may be a CFCL record, this deal was negotiated over a nine hour time difference.  While sipping an afternoon coffee at an outdoor cafe in Italy, the Kenndoza Line would awake at 6am in California to respond to the latest Ruffin proposal.  Here's what they agreed to.

The Ruffins trade Victor Robles (.10 Mx), Pedro Strop (.01 20+), Kolby Allard (.05 Mx), Scooter Gennett (.10 19+) and Anthony DiSclafani (.05 20+) to the Line for Clayton Kershaw (.51 20+), Jedd Gyorko (.01 18), Odubel Herrera (.16 20+), Bud Norris (.05 19+) and Preston Tucker (.05 20+).

Trying to break the trade wires, the Clowns offer up two more trades.

They trade Stephen Strasburg (.33 19+) and their 9th pick to the Ruffins for Jose Urena (.05 19+) and Yadier Alvarez (.05 Mx).

Then they worked with the Revenge sending AJ Pollock (.29 19+) and Paul DeJong (.05 19+) in exchange for Stephen Piscotty (.07 X), Zack Cosart (.04 19+), Anthony DiSclafani (.10 19+) and Corey Ray (.10 Mx).

Busy Trade Day Continues

The Kenndoza Line see the top of the mountain and are making their charge, completing two trades less than two hours before the deadline.

The Line traded Tyler Flowers (.02 19+) to the Ruffins for Ender Inciarte (.15 17) and then.....


.....traded Andrew Chafin (.01 19+), Aaron Altherr (.01 19+) and the 6th round pick they acquired from the Clowns to the Swing for Jake Arrieta (.10 17!) and Hernan Perez (.06 18+)

3rd Trade of the Day - This Time Clowns (of course) and Ruffins

Not wanting to be left out of the trading frenzy, the Ruffins jumped in acquiring Scooter Gennett (.10 19+) and Jon Gray (.15 18+) from the Clowns in exchange for Mickey Moniak (.10 Mx), Delvin Perez (.05 Mx), Kyle Freeland (.06 19+) and their 9th round pick.

Twelve trades have been made since the start of the season and, oh yeah . . . . there are 26 days left in the trading season.

Going For The Lock Down

Not waiting to see what the other contenders will do, the Ruffins continued to make moves to enhance their strangle hold on 1st place and their potential 6th CFCL title.






The Ruffins trade Stephen Piscotty (.05 17+), Robbie Ray (.10 18+), Eloy Jimenez (.02 Mx) and their 4th round pick for 2017 to the Revenge in exchange for Stephen Strasburg (.38 18+), Dee Gordon (.10 16!), Jayson Werth (.11 18+) and their 2nd and 9th round picks for 2017.

Purging of the Pirates

In a deal finalized this morning, Rebel management traded fan favorites Starling Martin (.20 16!) and Tony Watson (.15 17+) to the Ruffins in exchange for Joe Panik (.01 17+), Amir Garrett (.05 Mx), Corey Knebel (.03 18+) and the Ruffins first round pick in 2017.

With the trade the Ruffins make a strong statement that they are looking to lock up not only all the offensive categories, perhaps netting them a "Perfect 50" but also doing their level best to lock down title #6.

On the other side, the Rebels now have the dubious distinction of having traded every member of the Pirates stellar outfield.  They will wait patiently by their Inbox, looking for an e-mail from Clown management as to the availability of Amir Garrett.

Rebels - Ruffins Deal

With 24 days remaining until Draft Day 2016, the Ruffins and Dem Rebels pulled off a blockbuster, swapping rotation picks for a marginal middle infielder.

The Ruffins trade Cesar Hernandez (.05 17+) and their 6th round pick to Dem Rebels for their 4th and 9th round picks.

Trades, trades, trades galore

The Candy Colored Clowns seem to have a Spring Agenda of turning over their entire roster and stocking full of Redlegs.  Two more trades to report.

The Clowns trade JP Crawford (.10 Mx) to the Ruffins in exchange for Joey Votto (.39 17+).

The Clowns trade Jung-Ho Kang (.01 17+) to the Revenge in exchange for Billy Hamilton (.05 16+) and Eugenio Suarez  (.08 17+)

Ruffins and Revenge Deal

The Ruffins went back to their tool box, pulled out their hammer and nails and proceeded to finish nailing the coffin of the Beatniks and Dem Rebels.

The Ruffins sent Drew Storen (.01 16+), Aaron Nola (.05 Mx), Brandon Nimmo (.05 Mx) and their third round pick in 2016 to the Revenge for Madison Bumgarner (.42 17+), Matt Thornton (.10 17+), Jayson Werth (.16 15) and Francisco Cervelli (.05 17+).

Clowns - Ruffins Trade

Looking to go in for the kill and lock down their 5th CFCL Championship, the Ruffins acquired Joey Votto (.39 17+), Ben Revere (.25 16+), Josh Harrison (.07 16+) and Gleyber Torres (.05 Mx) from the Clowns in exchange for Corey Seager (.05 Mx), Michael Morse (.07 16+) and Marcel Ozuna (.07 16!).

Killer - Ruffin Deal

Sniffing the finish line, the Ruffins went out and added some talent behind the plate.

The Ruffins acquired Buster Posey (.31 17+) from the Killers in exchange for Jeurys Familia (.01 17+), Wilin Rosario (15 15!) and AJ Cole (.02 Mx).

To make their roster legal, the Killers also released Tabata and Ryu.

Trade Flurry

Actually it's not so much a flurry of activity as opposed to a friggin' avalanche.

Five teams have coordinated to make four trades.  Without further ado:

Ruffins trade Jayson Werth (.16 15+), Hanley Ramirez (.21 15+), Jonathon Lucroy (.14 15+), David Wright (.27 14) and Wil Venable (.04 14) to the Revenge for Nolan Arenado (.02 15+), Marcel Ozuna (.02 15+), Charlie Blackmon (.10 16+), Corey Seager (.05 Mx) and their 9th pick.

I believe this is the first time ever that David Wright has played a NL game for anyone other than the Ruffins.

Candy Colored Clowns trade Travis D'Arnaud (.10 16+) to the Swing for Anthony Recker (.01 16+) and Eddie Butler (.05 Mx).

Candy Colored Clowns trade Jake DeGrom (.05 16+) and Yovanni Gallardo (.07 16+) to the Bulls for Todd Frazier (.10 14)

Revenge trade Hector Rondon (.07 15+) and Nick Wittgren (.02 Mx) to the Bulls for Justin Morneau (.15 16+)

That's it!  Deadline has passed.  Good luck to everyone trying to move up!

Three Way Trade, for the most part

A deal involving three teams was announced today.

The Kenndoza Line, trying to secure their third CFCL Championship, traded Rafael Montero (.02 Mx) and their 15th pick to the Candy Colored Clowns for their 6th and 13th picks.

The Line then traded the picks they acquired from the Clowns (6 & 13), along with Christian Yelich (.10 15+), Danny Espinosa (.10 16+) and Trevor Rosenthal (.01 15+) to the Ruffins in exchange for Zach Grienke (.18 15+), Mat Latos (.21 15+), Emelio Bonifacio (.04 16+) and the Ruffins 15th pick.

Ruffins/Kenndoza Line Trade

The Ruffins and Kenndoza Line lit the fuse on a trade for Independence Day.  In an effort for the most decorated CFCL team to charge after yet another title, the Ruffins said "Hey, don't forget about me.  This is how you do it."

The Ruffins trade
Julio Tehran (.02 15+)
Yasmani Grandal (.02 14+)
Xavier Paul (.07 15+)
Christian Yelich (.10 Mx)
David Dahl (.05 15+)
Their 4th round pick for 2014
Their 9th round pick for 2014

The Kenndoza Line, playing not so much for next year but more to appease their young son and pick up some cheap Father of the Year points trade
Mat Latos (.21 15+)
Jonathon Lucroy (.14 15+)
Yonder Alonso (.05 13)
Sergio Romo (.18 14+)
Blake Parker (.06 15+)

This whole deal started with the Kenndoza Line trying to acquire Line Jr's favorite player - Xavier Paul.
