Send a trade to the guy who is the commish of our league. $300 league fee, + $100 if you finiish in last!

Commish accepts the trade via YAHOO Accept button.

It was Chris Young, for Dee Gordon....I was giving gordon, as he is in 2nd to last in steals and way ahead in HR's

After accepting the trade. sends me a note that he is reversing the trade and hit the accept button by accident?

what would you do?

That doesn't sound right at all.

It comes down to several questions:
1) Do you believe him?
2) If not, do you want to accuse him of lying?
3) If you bring in the other guys in the league will they support you?
4) Is there any precedence?
5) If this "accident" occurred and it wasn't the commissioner, would the trade stand?

Personally, I don't want to start wars in my fantasy leagues. At the minimum, I would inform everyone in the league what happened and they can all see that it was wrong. It is a clear case of a commissioner abusing his power. It is something that should be ironed out in the form of a rule in case an "accident." happens again. I would want a new commissioner for the future.

I did post the circumstances.

I have to say did not like the guys tone of the request to reverse the trade. As if the trade was such a joke, there is no way it should have been offered.

and I quote

"Have you looked at my team? Why would I want that?"

I replied with the fact I have looked and his team needed SB's

I think he thought Gordon had more SB's as the kid had some hype on him. Then decided no way.

You're in a tough spot on this one.

Maybe go with the approach that he is abusing his powers as the commissioner. Why is he allowed to do this when everyone else in the league cannot? There is really not much you can do about this one unless you think most people in the league are going to agree with you. Like I said earlier, I would definitely push for changes in the future.
