Trading memorabilia to a player?

[r_phelps]

Sounds like something he would really appreciate later in life but I would offer if given the opportunity.

Maybe take the opportunity to trade up. Ask for a Cespedes jersey if he has access to one.

I was honestly thinking that exact thing. A Cespedes jersey would be amazing. He just needs the call up first

I think that would be insulting IMO. "hey i've got this great game used jersey of yours but I'd gladly give it up for a better one of a guy who may have greater value than yours"

Your best bet is to see if he wants it and try and work something out of equal value to both of you.

In my Opinion, the whole process seems a bit tacky? I can see offering up a Jersey to a player expecting nothing in return and hoping that I make the guys day.

Maybe he would feel the kindness to take care of you in some way?

If I were a player and someone contacted me to trade or buy a Jersey I'd think the guy was a total Loser......No I'm not calling you a loser....Just sharing my personal feelings with you.

Mulligans I think it depends on the situation.

For example I have Ryan Roberts pink mothers day cleats from last season, I have heard from several people that he is upset that they were taken from his locker without consulting him right after the game as he wanted to give them to his mother. I think in that situation making a trade is a good thing and if I ever happen to run into him prior to a game I will be discussing a trade with him.

Maybe Chris would like the jersey and it was removed before he had a chance to grab it, who knows. I don't see any harm in asking, worst case is he will say no thanks keep it..

That was the other thing that i was thinking and why I asked everyone. But he has to realize that I paid for it. I might maybe throw out the idea of a Cespedes jersey jokingly, just to see what he would say, but not expecting it at all. Maybe he would do it for a different jersey and a helmet or something? I would feel weird asking for much more than that
