Trades, trades, trades

There were a grand total of 56 trades in my American League this year. Twenty-seven of them were made by one owner. He moved a grand total of 125 players (including duplicate players) this season. Another way of looking at this is that he turned his roster over 4.43 times...not including FAAB.

I hope you have traditional transaction fees. Wow!

We do not. Flat fee.

I actually lobbied against the fees a few years ago. Dumping teams are already disinterested; having them pay $8/pop Post All-Star to try and take a shot on a $10 S1 keep the following year just led to people totally falling asleep at the wheel.
