I wonder if we'll see fewer trades now that the additional Wild Card team has been added. The difference between being in the hunt and being out of the hunt for a playoff spot has shrunk. Also, a team's chances of correcting the ship the following year, in general, is greater because of parity among teams (and the additional Wild Card). I think teams will stand pat more than ever. Unless, of course, decisive deals (clearly good for both teams) comes along.
