I took a bunch of players...I was OK if anyone bid on them. It seems there were only a few people who were "up" for my suggestion.
There may have been more people up for the idea than we know. I, for one, didn't post anything about it but I had no problem if that's what we did.
The difficulty seems to be the short notice we had along with hoping everyone fell in line. Short of postponing free agency or the ability to block moves, I really don't know what could have been done.
Say 10 to 12 people abstained from FA to allow Arizona and Dallas players but the other 15-20 teams sign away? Then you have more than just 2 teams harmed as the do-gooders will see any potential players they wanted on other rosters.
Idk if it's possible in MFN or if we'd even want it but in my fantasy baseball leagues the commissioner can block teams from acquiring players with the click of a mouse. The block can be removed just as easily and would have been a good solution imo.
Hindsight is always 20/20 but maybe this could be implemented so future leagues don't have this happen to them.
