term limits

[Former Angels GM (Mike C.)]

If keeping the trade committee in current state of 5.

Suggest that 5 Trade Committee members serve 1 year then can't be on the committee for a min of 1 year. Then can put name back in again after 1 year off.

Will keep the committee fresh, more balanced and keep a control over individuals having more impact on trades of their competition.

I disagree. If the league thinks they're good and votes them back in, why get rid of them?

totally agree with preston on this. the league votes you in, then you are in. no matter who is voted in

[Nationals GM (Preston - Old)]

I get it from a larger, ideological perspective (i.e., politics), but we hopefully don't have big pockets investing in trade panel decisions.

[Cubs GM (Beau)]

I already bought the 2018 league championship back in 2015. Nobody has a chance.

[Rays GM (Donavan)]

I think you are better off having a trade panel of 7, where only the first 5 responses count.

Too often we have a trade pending for over a week because we are waiting on the final vote or two.

if not term limits, then the 6 division winners aren't allowed to be on the trade committee.

If the RL Dodgers, Yankees, Boston, Washington, and voted on trades of the other teams in MLB, it would be the worst thing in the world for MLB competition and parity..

This isn't RL, it's fantasy. They have GMs and front offices paid millions to make decisions. We have a message board.

Its a Competition, you don't have competitors deciding on what other competitors do.
