O's trade prospect Shed Long to MIN Rockies for Blake Swihart 2017: 0.5M; 2018: 1M (arb); 2019: 2M (arb); 2020: 3M (arb), 2021: 4M (arb)
I have nothing at catcher going forward, so hopefully Swihart can stick there going forward. Essentially just a prospect swap that frees a roster spot for Henry.

Agreed. Main aim is to open a space for a middle infielder, best of luck to Drew and hope that Swihart finally catches a break in terms of injuries...

This trade was agreed to at 3:46am Monday morning. I did not get to see it until just now. 1:37am EST on Tuesday morning. You guys cannot just assume that deals this close to the lineup deadline are going to be approved. Some days, like yesterday, I'm not able to get on the board at all. And now I'm understanding that Henry's lineup is illegal this week, in part due to this trade and Margot being demoted and promoted.
Sorry, I can't manage this now and will need to look at it tomorrow.

Look Scott, as I said in the Margot promotion, it was meant to be the corresponding move to the trade. If you didn't have time to process the trade, fine. The trade didn't need to be consummated for my lineup to be legal. Margot can be left in the minors and Swihart in the majors, so no need to stress.
Brian Johnson did need to be released though. And I posted that Sunday night soon after i found out i had signed escobar. What else was I supposed to do?! I'm not psychic!
To alleviate stress perhaps allow minors releases to be done by individuals? This used to be the case but for some reason it isn't anymore.

Anyone can do minors releases. I don't have to process every single thing on Fantrax. Any owner can drop players at any time. Just can't add or sign. Those need to be processed by the Commish office.

Having said that, above trade Commish approved.

Thanks Scott
Weird on the minors releases, are you sure? Last season there were little red symbols next to the player names which could be used to drop them. This year those symbols aren't there and when I've tried to drop a player I haven't been able to.

Had to change a setting. Sorry. Should be able to that now. Drops only. Adding players (FA signing or Minors claim) has to be done by Commish office.

That's great, thanks Scott. And sorry, I should really have mentioned it sooner!
