Fantasy/Real Trade Deadline

The real MLB trade deadline (non-waiver) is July 31 and well this is the time where most fantasy owners, like myself, are sweating over because players, especially closers, lose their current roles and bring owners nothing but a glorified players that don't deserve a spot on a fantasy AAA roster.

If you are about to make a deal for someone make sure there is no rumour out there or a high percentage they will be traded where their fantasy value decreases. I would personally hold off on making a huge deal that would involve players that are rumoured to be on the move especially closers.

The fantasy trade dealine in most leagues is usually around Aug. 10 or around the 20th. This gives plenty of time to see who you want and who you want to use as bait.
