If you’re wondering why things were so quiet on the trade front the past two days, it’s the calm before the storm. Expect a flurry of deals between now and tomorrow morning followed by an even madder dash to the finish line tomorrow afternoon.
Deals are no doubt percolating, some to be poured strong, some to be served with 1% milk, and others to be entirely discarded into the compost. If you’re a player whose name has been bandied about, this week was your final audition to see if you are as advertised or if maybe instead someone wants to lure away your understudy.
