CFCL 2016 Trade Season In The Books

Some action on the final trading day, but no huge block busters as in previous years.  Personally I think that's a good thing. 


Anything can happen over the next two months, but the exit polls have spoken and the CFCL Front Office would like to congratulate the Ruffins on their 6th CFCL title.




.......that excruciating wail you just heard came from North Carolina where the Ruffins are currently cursing the Front Office and no doubt throwing things around the Professorial Manor convinced that their pennant run has just been jinxed.


Being in seventh affords me little to enjoy this season.  I have to create my own fun.

Killers and Line Limbo Under the Trade Deadline

With six minutes remaining in the trade season, the Killers and Line reported a deal.


Killers trade Tanner Roark (.10 16) to the Line for Adieny Hechavarria (.01 17+) and their 3rd round pick for 2017.


And in an interesting "Behind The Scenes But Not Quite Consummated" story, the Rebels and Clowns exchanged a flurry of five trade proposals in the last nine minutes of the trade season but just ran out of time before agreeing to a deal.


Any other interesting negotiations and just ran out of time?

Trade Deadline Day Begins

Kicking off the Trade Deadline Day early (trade reported before 7am), the Kenndoza Line make a move to shore up their bullpen by dealing Roman Quinn (.05 Mx) to the Sombreros for Pedro Baez (.04 18+).
