Surpised? You Shouldn't Be.
12:15:00 PMEveryone knows it by now.
The definition of insanity is attempting the same thing over and over expecting a different result.
Well then, I'm insane. But at least I'm aware of it. That's the first step in solving the problem.
Thing is though, I'm not all that interested in curing this case of insanity. Yes, this definitely makes any potential playoff push all the harder to accomplish, but hey, I like the challenge.
Oh, I'm sorry. Where are my manners? You're probably wondering what the hell I'm talking about. Short answer, I'm trading Gronk to Katarya.
Specifically, I'm trading Gronk to Katarya for $12 draft dollars, $5 free agent dollars (that's for you Danny), and Carlos Hyde.
I could go right ahead and explain why I'm doing this, and I'm sure you'll get a kick out of it. Like I said before, I know this is a bit loopy. The simple answer is that I have a huge man crush on Travis Kelce, and that my personal projections have him finishing much closer to the Gronk's stats than most pundits believe. But even beyond that, I'll be keeping the guy I believe will finish as the #2 TE for the cost of a #7 or #8 TE. And I'll be earning draft money in return. So in keeping Kelce for $6 and trading Gronk for $12, I actually come away with $6 and a decent keeper.
As for Katarya? Well with all the additional draft capital, he could afford to give away some money. And even by trading the $12, he still realizes savings of $5 compared to Gronk's market price. Plus, it's Gronk. He es fiesta.
It's a win for him, and a win (in my mind) for me.
Insanity!
PS: This deal is contingent upon both players remaining healthy up until the draft. If at any point either of them are hurt for a period of time Katarya or I deem unacceptable, then this trade is void.
