Episode notes
Identify Your Timeline Before Trading
- Identify your timeline: are you a November team (need immediate wins) or a December team (planning for playoffs)?
- Trade differently based on that timeline and prioritize filling your teams' immediate positional needs.
Ask What Your Opponent Needs
- Personalize trade offers by asking managers what they actually need before proposing deals.
- Be honest about why you want a player and what you're willing to give to make trades smoother.
Don't Sabotage Deals With Bad Blurbs
- Avoid lowball offers and negative player blurbs because they reduce trade chances.
- Use honest, constructive blurbs to make your trade offers more attractive.
