2019 Trade Panel election Thread

[Rob Manfred (Trade Review)]

Please pulblicly post here if you'd like to be have your name in for the public election of the new Trade Panel.

Any and all teams interested in voting on the 2019 trade panel should apply. This applies to all existing TP members as well. Post here if you wish to serve another year on the committee. There are 5 voting members, so the teams that receive the most votes will be elected.

The Poll is up so teams please vote for 5 teams to be our new Trade Panel for 2019. Poll locks on Dec 22 at 12:00am so new panel will be an early present for everyone.

Thanks!

[Rangers GM (Victor)]

Probably one of the few positions I feel I could help with the league. I'll proudly serve if elected. 😁

[Rays GM (Donavan)]

Happy to continue serving, if elected.

[Diamondbacks GM (Ethan)]

I’ll do it!

[Cubs GM (Beau)]

Put me down as willing.

[Guardians GM (Matt)]

I am willing to do another year on the panel, but I may withdraw in favor of fresh blood if there is a lot of interest

[Former Phillies GM (Garret)]

I’m willing to serve the league as a trade panel member for the upcoming season.

[Rob Manfred (Trade Review)]

Let's give this thread another week. Dec. 1st I will post the poll for TP and we can vote in our 2019 panel. If you're still interested and haven't thrown your hat in yet, please put your name up.

[Brewers GM (Kevin)]

Same as Matt, I'm happy to do it again but defer to others who have yet to serve. I think its a valuable experience to be on it for at least a season.

[White Sox GM (Aidan)]

I will step down this year and allow for some turnover.

[Rays GM (Donavan)]

Oh, come on Aidan, you are just trying to find a way to get our trade that was posted & confirmed by November 2nd to be approved....lol

If your not on the trade panel your trades can be approved quicker, because all trade panel members can vote. Whereas if a trade is done between 2 trade panel members, then you wait for all other trade panel members to vote, which takes longer.

[Former Angels GM (Mike C.)]

each division has 5 teams, why not just rotate divisions as the trade panel, always fresh meat.

[Former Twins GM (Robin)]

12 teams have voted. If you haven't, please do!

[Former Twins GM (Robin)]

Congrats and thank you's to all our new and old Trade Panel members who will be serving on the 2019 PB's TP.

The new look trade panel is....

BREWERS
INDIANS
PHILLIES
DIAMONDBACKS
CUBS

Thanks as well to the Rangers and Rays both of whom have served ably in the past and to the other outgoing teams, White Sox and Rockies! The work was much appreciated.

[Diamondbacks GM (Ethan)]

Cool! As my first order of business, I decree that Mike Trout be traded to my team.

That’s how this works right?

You're thinking of Dictator-For-Life. First step is a military coup.
