Don't feel too bad, though, because I did spend some of my gold on draft picks and ended up with Jose Fernandez, plus I got John Lackey as a fan reward. So I guess things turned out ok. Still, I had the picks required for the trade. What more can I do? (Rhetorical question.)
Does appear random, although I would've loved to have gotten my trades done in 7 tries. Been trying for Arrieta 2x per day for the last 9 days and keep getting a failed negotiation. One day I decided to spend the gold I'd accumulated and, by my count, tried another 18 times, all failing. Have tried for Bautista during this…
