After building up to a highwater mark of 29 deals in 2013, Larkspur Bowl trading activity has generally trended down, ticking up in 2018, and with today's deal, slightly up from last year's COVID-uncertainty. In LBXIV expect some rule changes to be considered to invigorate a stagnant market!
The year's final deal involved two former champions, now sputtering. Pawnee's season already lost, they're playing to try to sneak into the Consolation Bracket and build back better for 2022. Phoenix, with tenuous hopes for a six seed, addresses a season long running back problem in the least exciting way possible.
PAWNEE ACQUIRES: S XAVIER McKINNEY
PHOENIX ACQUIRES: RB MYLES GASKIN
McKinney might be the next superstar safety coming off a dominant performance against the Raiders in week nine; The Uprising have rotated Budda Baker, Jessie Bates, and Jamal Adams at the position this year and had no need for a fourth safety. Meanwhile, Pawnee's abundance of RBs left RB3ish Gaskin a spare part, out of the lineup and with the deadline approaching, running out of value for Pawnee. Both teams see their starting lineups improved the rest of the way in a low risk, win-win deal.
