First Trade Rejections

My offer from Monday evening of Tigers outfielder Brent Clevlen for Orioles starting pitcher Adam Loewen was rejected because the other team did not want to trade for Clevlen after releasing him during the season.

This calls for an expanded offer where Clevlen will be viewed as a bonus to the other parts of the trade.

The Dioner Navarro for Daric Barton/Carl Pavano offer was countered with Justin Huber in lieu of Barton. I'd have accepted it, but for the fact Huber's minor league eligibility was exhausted for this league when he was activated to his owner's fantasy team.

I already plan on carrying Adam Jones in a similar way and do not see the prudence of filling an OF spot and a corner one with two minor league players.
