Many fantasy baseball leagues' trade deadline is approaching and if you spend any time visiting fantasy sports sites on the internet, follow sports feeds on Twitter, or listen to sports talk radio you can't go long without having someone ask about making a fantasy trade. We all like to look for some advice before we make a roster altering trade, but the most honest answer to every one of those trade questions is, "I don't know!" It may seem like a simplistic approach or an effort to be non-committal; the truth is in most situations the person you are asking can't know. This is especially true in roto baseball leagues. There just isn't any such thing as a cut and dry, player for player trade in a roto baseball league.
What categories are measured in your league? Where are you lacking? Are there categories where you could sacrifice a little? Do you have solid backup that you could fill the hole a trade would create? Are their waiver wire players to consider that would cost you far less than the proposed trade? These are the types of questions that need to be considered to draw an honest conclusion. The only way to completely understand the implications of a trade in a roto league is to know the entire roster and the areas where the team needs improvement and areas where the team can afford to slide a bit. So ask away, but make sure you are using a format that allows you to include as much information as possible. If you trust the advice of the person you are asking enough to move key players, the least you can do is give them the information they need to make an honest assessment. Good Luck!
