The Sleeper and the Bust Episode: 1523 – Week 18 FAAB

The trade deadline this year is on a weird day.

It's on Monday, August 3rd at 6:00 PM Eastern.

Yeah.

Which, you know, means, like, you know, typically the trade deadline is July 31st.

Uh, and if it was, you know, that case this year, we'd have a Sunday Fab session-

Right

... right after.

This year we're not gonna have another Sunday Fab session until, what, the 9th of August?

The 9th.

Yeah, and I don't understand why.

I mean, Thursday the 30- the 31st is on a Thursday, so no, uh, no, it's Friday.

All right, so I kind of get why they didn't do that because everybody going into a weekend series, whatnot, to have that disruption, but, you know, did it really have to be Monday? Don't they ev- doesn't MLB ever think of us fantasy baseball players?

No, they don't.

Uh, clearly not.

Managers don't care about our, our teams, and the league doesn't care about us at all.

It's because that's where we, that's what we get into is, like, w- we're gonna see this trade deadline, and remember it's 6:00 PM Eastern.

Games start at 7:00.

There's always a few trades that kind of leak in-

Mm-hmm

... that get done right up.

Most of the time those are minor.

They're, they're rarely impactful.

But-

Every once in a while, though, it's a big name.

Every now and then we have something.
