The Evolution of Trading

The new season hasn't even begun its matches and already 2011 will have the most trades in a single year. In 2009 there was only one trade. In 2010 there were five, while 2011 has six already. There are many reasons for the increase. First there are more clubs from 8 to 11 participants. Next, there are six senior clubs with existing rosters capable of making moves, rather than four in 2010 and zero for the inaugural year of 09'. Lastly, there is the increase of two Designated Players instead of just one per club. The basic reality is the BSL is maturing and the art of the deal/trade is growing steady it it.
