Here are the totals of trades made by year since 2003 in the Denny's League.
2003 - 5
2004 - 10
2005 - 12
2006 - 4
2007 - 10
2008 - 9
2009 - 6
2010 - 32
2011 - 22
I'd say trades have definitely become "in" - which I love!

ya it seems kinda high I've obviously noticed the high rate of activity this being my 1st yr. I have been reluctant to deal my mid round picks and late round $1 $2 $3 picks I think I can go into the draft with my picks and still be competitive....

My thoughts are that 2012 is likely uniquely high for multiple reasons:
The one-year issue of 35 picks but only getting to keep 30 players. As a result, there were extra picks that will have almost no value come the start of the season. As the result, there was a willingness to deal that was higher than normal. In the future, 30 picks for 30 spots will fix this.
The fact that all round 30 picks were $5 value. In the past, the reducing contracts made the 34th and 35th round picks ($1 and $2) very valuable to some teams. next year, each round will continue to reduce by $1 per round. At the same time, the last pick will be $6 which will likely be viewed less than the previous $1 and $2 picks.
The expansion of two teams introduced two teams that had to make some deals. This was especially true after one team did not participate in the expansion draft.
The 14 team draft affected the deepness of the draft pool. As a result, there were an additional 70 players taken. As a result some players that would typically be Free Agent fodder actually had some keeper value. As a result, there was some trading that happened that did not occur in the past.
Overall, I think trades will likely reduce somewhat in the future (i.e., 2012 had a lot of one-time factors that encouraged trading that will likely not recur). Any other thoughts or observations?
