I think our trade deadline is set too late in the year - considering it is only 2 weeks before the start of the playoffs. I am proposing a move of the deadline to August 3rd. That gives time to see who moves in MLB at their deadline, and still leaves enough time that there won't be 6 teams selling off their players because they know they can't make a run.
All in favor?

Problem is the MLB has these late call ups,trades after waivers etc so I like the idea of waiting but see the flip side too/
Look at guys who get traded that can impact your roster for a circumstance you cant control.

I don't really care either way. Isn't that why we made the consolation bracket award the winner?
Can you tell me the plusses and minuses of each deadline?
"Look at guys who get traded that can impact your roster for a circumstance you cant control." Joe, what guys are you talking about?
This year, i was surprized to see how stacked all of the playoff teams are.

Well,the late deadline allowed Carolina to hold on till the end as with Maryville.
It also allowed eliminated guys to get more for guys they would not own moving forward.
Look at guys who got traded and the value good or bad is interesting to watch.Joe Blanton gets traded and it makes a Tyler Cloyd valuable......which if deadline is early this kid never gets his due and Blanton stock is effected.
I got Greg Holland off waivers....if trade deadline was earlier I was targeting Broxton so this helped me and made Broxton a waiver guy which shows a good move waiting.
Plus teams have got to 6 man rotations that is nice to know if your guy loses a turn.

I don't have a strong preference, but I would back moving the trade deadline to earlier in August. As Doug said, the playoff teams are stacked. I think what happened that some of the better teams that did not make the playoffs, realized they were out and went on an aggressive rebuild. The consolation proze of 1st pick is valuable, but not near as valuable as being able to deal for multiple early round picks.
FYI, I also had to move back the trade deadline for the FFL that I commish, simply due to some dump trades at the end.

I suppose my main thought behind moving the deadline is that it seems too many teams are able to become sellers with a late deadline. A team with a say 24-16 record could become a seller because they're 3 games out of the wild card with 4 left. I think that's just cutting it too close, but that is just my opinion.

I'd be up to move the deadline up a couple weeks or more.

what if we did away with the trade deadline period? may be an outrageous idea, but it would eliminate a lot of the complaints and add an added value to owners who stay active all year with free agents,etc. i know i am as guilty as anyone with the agressiveness of the trades, but i think this is in response to the arms race as four teams went all in to stack their team. i would rather value those who watch the waiver wire, follow the callups etc.

i'd like to see the trade deadline moved back to mid July. there shouldn't be any reason a .500 team (or better) is trading their "35" level players for peanuts mid-august.

Did we land on a date to move the trade deadline? I think the activity around the trade deadline has created a great deal of frustration for many these past couple of years. I really like the consolation play-off using draft seeding as the prize. I think that was a good idea to make decent teams think twice before dumping really good expiring players for pennies on the dollar to the couple of top teams. |

I have moved the trade deadline up to 8/2. That leaves 3 weeks (6 matchups) plus a couple of days from the trade deadline until playoffs start. With 6 matchups, or technically 8 since the outcome of that current week may still be in doubt, I think most teams will not be in a position to mail it in and start dumping their rosters.
Having it 8/2 also gives us a chance to adjust and react to MLB trade deadline moves, where players may come into more PT, RPs may move to closer, etc.

Is there a trade moratorium at some point before/after the draft? Nothing major but 24 hours or something for Chris to set the final draft order and keepers, etc. Also after the draft, what is the waiver period (24 or 48 hours) before open free agent picks occur?

I believe that you can trade after keepers and during the draft. The team that trades away their keeper players just loses that draft pick and the player. |

There is a no trade rule from the time keepers and extensions are announced until I get them all updated and the draft order updated. Should be 72 hours or so.
