Summary

Dimitri Filipovic is joined by Steve Werier to talk about a variety of trade and contract related subjects from both a team and player perspective ahead of this year's deadline.

They also get into interesting ways unexpected organizations could get into the market as buyers, how long deals take to come together this time of year, running personnel decisions by your star players, the value of 1st round picks in years where the draft is considered to be weaker than usual, and showcasing potential trade candidates.
