Interleague Free Agent Bidding Day Reminder

Just a reminder, good gentlemen, that tomorrow (August 1st) is the Interleague Free Agent Bidding (IFAB) day.  You are allowed to bid on any ballplayers that came over the American League AS WELL AS anyone else that is in the Free Agent Pool.

Here's the blurb from the Constitution:

Interleague Free Agent Bid (IFAB) Day

On the day immediately following the MLB Interleague Trading Deadline, the CFCL will hold a special sealed bid auction. Players who were traded from the American League to the National League on the day of the trading deadline, as well as any other free agents, are eligible to be bid upon on IFAB Day.

Trading Slugmatch Continues

The Battle for Supremacy continued yesterday between the 1st place Clowns and 2nd place Bulls. 

The Clowns and Revenge agreed to a 10 player deal.  Going to the Revenge were:  Billy (the quick) Hamilton (.05Mx), Jonathan Broxton (.10 14+), Brad Ziegler (.05 15+), Jonathon Niese (.08 14+) and Alexi Amarista (.10 15+).  Returning to the Clowns were:  Cole Hamels (.39 15+), Jacob Turner (.02 15+), Luke Gregerson (.08 15+), Martin Prado (.18 14+) and Travis D'Arnaud (.10 Mx).

Not to blithely sit by and watch, the Bulls crafted their own deal sending Ryan Vogelsong (.10 15+), Hyun-Jin Ryu (.02 15+), Max Fried (.02 Mx) and their 4th round pick to the Twin Killers and receiving Jonathan Papelbon (.29 14+), Jimmy Rollins (.21 15+) and Homer Bailey (.01 13).

This may be the first time in CFCL history that three Jonathans (or Jonathon) were traded on the same day.

Clowns/DoorMatts Trade

With four days left until the trade deadline, the Candy Colored Clowns looked to counteract the latest moves by the Beatniks.

The Clowns picked up some help in the starting rotation by acquiring Madison Bumgarner (.15 13) from the DoorMatts in exchange for minor league prospect Noah Syndergaard (.05 Mx).

Kenndoza Line/Beatniks Trade

In a blockbuster for the ages the Beatniks and Kenndoza Line swapped relief pitchers.

The snake-bit Beatniks are admirably fighting to stay in the money spot and hopefully capture the Copperfield Trophy.  Having watched a recent trade acquisition (Revere) and a starting rotation mainstay (Hudson) go down with lower extremity injuries, the Beatniks needed to provide a little punch to their bullpen.  They acquired Rafael Bentancourt (.09 13) in exchange for Drew Storen (.08 15+) and their sixth round pick.

The Kenndoza Line continue to retool by making their third trade and acquiring more underpriced talent.
