Memorial Day has taken on the reputation as the point in the fantasy season when teams can seriously evaluate their team's make-up and decide whether playing for the following season is not the wiser course.
If the following season is determined to be the best strategy, then bail trades will inevitably follow.
With this seasonal occurence, trading between teams still in competition begins to grind to a halt as one no longer deems it wise to trade a $5 Prince Fielder in a power-for-saves trade because PF should get two players in a bail trade.
This happens despite the fact that each team does need what the other is offering.
The bail consideration also works for the team acquiring that not-too-distant-future two-for-one player. If a team acquires the bail piece, the he can flip it in a two for one.
This, of course, stops the other team from dealing said player.
There is really no solution to this dilemna barring the exchange of equal salary&contract status players i.e. $5 1st year Prince Fielder for $5 1st year Bronson Arroyo.
