Trade question: I am in a standard, mixed league (keeper, with $260 budget). I am currently in first, and my major weakness is my SP. My league mate is playing for next year, and wants to trade for my Goldschmidt or Rizzo. Both keep for one more year for just $1. He offered me Upton ($40) and Hamels ($45) for Goldschmidt. Is that enough? I was thinking of countering with Rizzo for Alex Gordon and Hamels.

No reason to ever accept an initial offer, so couldn’t hurt to make that counter. Heck, you’re in the power position, might as well counter asking for what he offered, but giving him Rizzo instead of Goldschmidt!
