Last Place Bail

The last place team attempted to make a trade in which he dealt a great bail piece in exchange for two expensive stars - a kind of reverse bail trade.

His reasoning was the bail piece will bring back the same type of players he received earlier.

What he failed to recognize is the team acquiring his bail piece and giving up two stars would lose the performance of that second star for however long he went between acquiring the bail piece and dealing him in a bail deal.

Whilst I liked the contrarian thinking of the last place team, some examination of the consequences for both parties demonstrated why this is not a typical trade tactic in Roto.
