In Honor of the Approaching Trade Deadline

We are a little more than three weeks away from the trade deadline.  In recent years, the days leading up to the deadline are busy for teams trying to buy for a playoff run or sell for next year.  With that said, there is more to trading than just knowing the players and/or picks in the deal.  But you also need to know who you are trading with.  I don't mean assessing the state of their team or figuring out their team needs, but figuring out what they normally look for in a trade.  Well lucky for you, Colin Reints (Team Reints) has come up with the trading tendencies for each team.

So, if you want to trade with someone who...
…undervalues your players then trade with Musser (Left Side...Strong Side)
…likes players that were high picks but now sucks then trade with Reints (Team Reints)
…overvalues his own players then trade with Roberts (I Decline Musser Trades)
...doesn’t want to trade then trade with Regis (Team Pup 'N Suds)
…wants future draft picks then draft with DJ (I'm Never Gonna Win Now)
…will reject your trade with no counter then trade with Tyler (Trout's Back Bitches)
…will give up anything for Hunter Pence then trade with Lenz (In Pence, I Trust)
…values players on hot streaks then trade with JP (**JP**)
…won’t respond then trade with Michaud (Minnesota Twins)
…wants Cubs or Twins then trade with Geary (Well Played Mauer)
…is willing to give up all his future picks then trade with Cam (Thor's Hammer)
… is looking for prospects then trade with Juan (Mookie Monster)

Now you have all the information you need to make those key trades that will put your team in a good spot in the now or in the future.  Whichever you decide.

With Love,
Commish & Crime
