Am I the asshole?

Yes, hit decline and move on, who cares what the other owner does.

"Deep sleepers"?
Did OP say somewhere this was an XFL fantasy league and I missed it?
PSA - Haggling is NOT the same as negotiating.

Ten offers from the same owner at the same time is definitely obnoxious. A better tactic that some use, is posting in the chat and trade block the players such as Dez, saying instant accept for any 4th rounder etc. These get results and don't put other owners off. I think in future just tell him privately not to send you those offers. You don't need to speak for the rest of the league.

Habaneros make the best tasting hot sauce. Throwing a bunch of random stuff on top of fries doesn't mean you call it "poutine".

pretty good idea. definitely would be easier to deal with this kind of tactic if some of the league sites had built in "tech" to handle it. Block offers, or block declines built into the league site would probably streamline these kind of deals.
Too many teams and lineup changes to keep track of them all.

its what we always do, Always thought blind trade offers through sites were strange. Your in a dynasty league with these people, part of the experience is chatting with your league mates and negotiating trades. in fact when im not doing housekeeping on the site, the only thing we use it for is to set our lineups and keep track of scores/standings. everything else is manual
