Trade Deadline

[Guardians]

Shocking no one, I was pretty active this trade deadline. It seemed like there were a lot of people who were MIA. I think having the deadline end on a Saturday night hampers us some. Thoughts on making it midnight Monday, since it's a holiday?

[Marlins]

Do you mean moving it this year? Or next year make the deadline midnight on Labor Day?

Next year

I liked that it ended on our roster cutoff day, but wouldn’t want it to be any later in the season than 8/31. Perhaps have it be on the Wednesday prior to or equal to 8/31.

Ken makes a good point about the roster cutoff day coinciding with the deadline. I'm interested in JP's thoughts on whether moving to Monday (off day, new database) could solve that issue

I'm so tired today. I vote we move up the deadline to 9pm EST instead of midnight!

PG seconds the idea.

You are committing voter fraud. I do NOT support that, old man.

I think I like the idea of Wednesday before 8/31. I agree with Ken's point about not wanting this to be after 9/1 for the roster cutoffs.

Next year's Labor Day is on 9/1, so I think we may have the same fate. I think doing it mid-week will always lead to more engagement.

My original thought was to add time, not subtract.

My team had played 136 games coming into this year's trade deadline. Do we really need more time to determine if we're buying or selling? I think our minds are pretty much made up. I think the best way to spruce up activity is to ensure that the deadline doesn't fall on a weekend, especially Labor Day weekend.

A lot of people were active and looking for parts. I think some were scared. You get to the last three-day weekend of the summer and people understandably aren't as around as much. I don't know that adding another 72 hours solves the problem.

[Reds]

My preference is to move the deadline to the Wednesday before 9/1. That way it’s midweek and on a roster cutoff day. I’d rather not have it later than 9/1.
