A very OOTP trade deadline
Twins Video
Regular readers here will recall that I enjoy the computer game Out Of The Park. Since it's a game and I'm not hurting anyone, I abuse some of its features terribly. In particular, there is often no sense of there being 24 hours in a day. So, as GM in the game, my typical style is to do a top-to-bottom assessment of every level of my franchise's farm system and 40-man on the first day of the off-season, then I use the trading interface to sell off every questionable asset that has trade value, in exchange for players who fit my preferences better. All this in one day of game-time.
Normally I feel as though a dozen trades in one day is a serious betrayal of reality.
Now I feel fine. Even if yesterday was the trade deadline, not the first day after the World Series, I have confirmation that it can be done.
I can't help chuckling. Sometimes we say a player is putting up video-game numbers. Yesterday was a video-game day for our GM.
