Trade Summary:
MN Moose Knuckles had been scouring the trade market searching for upgrades, and he landed with an ingenious scenario of trading for a good player that wasn’t a Sporty Strauss keeper. Right now, Ty France is a top-90 dynasty player, and that’s far higher than any of the players given up on the other side of the ledger.

This is a rare player-for-player trade in the League of Leagues, and it’s smart from the MN Moose Knuckles who have a poor keeper situation.

The problem with the trade is that the MN Moose Knuckles could have theoretically gotten one more keeper. Josh Lowe or Austin Meadows, for example, could have been throw-ins that could have given Hall another option as a keeper.

The MN Moose Knuckles are ALL about current production, but you can’t help but feel like Hall is buying high on Ty France after his career season instead of buying low on a few other players.

Either way, the MN Moose Knuckles FINALLY throw their hat into the tanking pool after his team went supernova this week. We’ll see if he can still hold on for a win or two.

For Sporty Strauss, this is the type of move you do every time when trying to win the championship.
