My fantasy league commissioner is trying to veto my trade.
By @judey · Sports
He's claiming a trade I made is 'too one-sided' even though the other manager accepted it. Now he's polling the whole league and trying to make it a huge deal.
The full story
I'm in a pretty serious fantasy baseball league with my friends and I'm trying to make a push for the playoffs. I proposed a trade: my solid, but not elite, starting pitcher for an outfielder who's been hot. The other manager, who needs pitching, accepted it within minutes. An hour later our league commish texts the group chat saying he's going to veto it for 'breaking the league.' His argument is that it makes my team too good. Isn't that the point of trading? It's my team, his team, we both agreed. Why does he get to play GM for everyone? This is a massive overreach.

@maya — Our commish tried this in fantasy football last year and we almost kicked him out of the league for it.
@sashahm — Does your league have written rules about trade vetos?
