In an effort to push themselves into the money slots, the Rebels and Bulls made a deal of needs. The Rebels picked up a bit more offense while the Bulls are hoping for some speed.
Dem Rebels traded Tony Campana (.05 14+) and their 7th pick to the Bulls for the struggling Dan Uggla (.25 14+) and their 5th pick.

Clowns continue to deal, this time with the Bulls
The Clowns continued to fortify their first place presence by picking up Matt Holliday (.48 14+) and Jed Lowrie (.07 14+). To get them he gave the Bulls Todd Frazier (.10 14+), Jonny Venters (.05 12) and their 13th pick.
Clowns - DoorMatts Swap
Smelling blood, and his first CFCL Championship, the Clowns went for speed and quality starts.
The Clowns acquired Roy Halladay (.37 12) and Jose Altuve (.05 14+) from the DoorMatts and sent Tyler Pastornicky (.05 14+), Carlos Martinez (.05 Mx) and Zach Wheeler (.02 Mx) back in return. The DoorMatts waived Orlando Hudson to make room for his new minor league booty.

Rebels - Danger Make a Deal
In perhaps a futile attempt to make a run at the Clowns, Dem Rebels shored up their starting rotation and their infield.
Dem Rebels traded Jason Heyward (.15 13!) and Travis Wood (.09 14+) to the Danger in exchange for Ryan Zimmerman (.27 12!) and Mark Buehrle (.09 14+).

Trade and IFAB Day
We are approaching a deadline and a date that we need to be aware of. First the deadline.
The CFCL Trade Deadline is Noon (CST) on Wednesday, August 1st. We've had a few trades already this month and more are expected. We are all familiar with the process, but with a deadline as part of the mix, things could get dicey. Let's review the process.
In order for a trade to be official both teams involved in the trade must report the trade to the Commission ALONG WITH ALL ASSOCIATED MOVES. I know you all know this, but understand that if both teams don't report the deal with their associated moves by Noon, Wednesday, August 1st, then the trade is invalid and will not be allowed - period.
If the Commissioner is involved in the trade then they and the other team involved will report the trade with associated moves to the Executive Committee.
I strongly encourage everyone to visit the Constitution to answer any questions you may have about the CFCL Trade Deadline.
Now on to the date to be aware of. The Interleague Free Agent Bid Day is the day after the National League Trade Deadline. So, on Wednesday, August 1st each owner of the CFCL is allowed to place bids - in the same fashion that we do on each Sunday. The deadline is 3pm (CST) and you are allowed to bid on ANYONE in the Free Agent Pool, not only players recently arriving from the American League. Same rules apply - you are only allowed to bid up to the amount you have remaining in your FAAB, if you bid (and acquire) a player for .25 or more, you are required to keep that player going into next year's draft.
I strongly encourage everyone to visit the Constitution to answer any questions you may have about IFAB Day.

Rebel - Revenge Swap
With twelve days left until the trade deadline the Revenge and Dem Rebels went their separate ways. The Revenge, in an effort to close the gap between them and the Clowns picked up some speed in Jose Reyes (.29 12). Dem Rebels, realizing that trying to overtake the Clowns would be a daunting challenge gave up Reyes to snag the Poor Man's Andrew McCutchen in Starling Marte (.10 Mx) and the Revenge's 4th round pick.
More interesting that this trade will be the potential domino effect that could have the next week and a half become of flurry of activity with no less than eight teams still having a legitimate shot to finish in the money.

If the season ended today . . .
OK, I hate that assumption. The season isn't ending today. BUT there is an interesting development happening - hand in hand with the fact that teams are jumping from sixth to third in the course of a couple hours each night. If we look ahead to the use of the Home Team Discount, here's how things stand currently.
Bulls (sitting in the sweet spot) .06
Rebels .05
Ruffins .05
DoorMatts .05
Killers .04
Danger .03
President of the Carlos Lee Fan Club .03
The standings are tightly packed and I don't ever recall this much money being in play for the HTD. Speaks volumes to the talent of our owners, the parity we've achieved and the fact that no one has made any assinine dump trades to completely tank for the season.
