I don't think there has been an influx of closers/relievers traded at the deadline the last few years, no.

I would always devalue closers at draft time, because unless you have a crazy league, they're always the least valuable position.

Having elite relievers is great, but you can usually fill in with waiver guys if you're paying attention.

Boom,

And on that note, we're going to call it a night.

Thanks for hanging out, as always. Hopefully we have more exciting trades to digest next Tuesday!
