2011 trade deadline
There were 10 trades made on the final day before the deadline. The Iron Pigs were involved in exactly none. I tried hard and threw offers everywhere, but sometimes the best trades are the ones you don't make. No major deals, the contenders all strengthening bullpens and grabbing extra bats and teams trying to unload potential free-agents.
Teams in the IBL place extreme value on prospects so I just couldn't find a match. Three hours to go until the deadline.
Thinking back to the expansion draft and my desire to draft players other clubs saw value in I may have erred. There was interest in many of our players but no one had enough to warrant an offer I wanted to consider. That doesn't mean anything as far as the future is concerned, there's the entire off-season to continue building the roster.
