Wanted to get some second opinions on this trade I was offered.
3 Polluted Delta (KTK)
for
Thoughtseize (THS)
unless you need the cards you are getting... ex. you want to play faeries and run a cavern and thoughtseize... then you are much better off keeping the 3 fetches.

If you're the guy being offered the Deltas and such, take this immediately- It's a good $10-15 in free value that you're getting, and the prices on all of these won't fluctuate enough to really make you lose out on more than $10-15. If you're the other guy, then don't do it.... Reason why is stated above.

best way is to price check them on tcgplayer. decide from there if you want to.

He changed his mind on 2 of the Deltas. The trade offer changed to this. Who comes out on top?

in my opinion, player 2 comes out on that one by a pretty big margin. The upside of 1 delta is still strong. But the upside of cavern of souls/ thoughtseize / deathrite shaman is very strong too + random filler.
if deathrite ever gets modern unbanning, you win huge.

If you were the one being offered the fetchlands then it was a good deal.
Out of that trade long term value will be found MAINLY in the fetchlands and the thoughtseize. You'll get a bigger price increase in 3 fetchlands than you will in a single thoughtseize so I'd make that trade.
Young pyromancer is cheap and unimportant. Even though it is being played in delver, it's not a hard card to find.
DRS is good and expensive but banned in modern and not legal in standard so you know.....
