Major League Baseball's trade deadline is approaching, and so are many leagues' deadlines across the country.

I know, for example, that my league's wire has been on fire the last week, with more trades going down the last seven days than in the three months before that. I, alone, was responsible for three of them. What can I say? I'm a trade whore. Can't get enough of 'em. And I'm sure I'm not the only one out there like that. Many of you are similar creatures. You can relate.
