We had a crazy free agent auction this past week. A total of $173 spent, according to Rusignola this is the highest total in the league dating back to 2007. The previous high was $143. What led to the lavish spending? Well, for the most part there were several shifts in closer roles. The Marlins, Cubs, Padres, Yankees, and Angels all had shakeups at the back end of their bullpen. Every single pickup was highly contested.

Standings update below. The Browns gained some ground on me this week picking up some big points in the pitching categories. The Mckeown brothers and Frozen Ropes also saw some nice gains. Looking at the other end of the spectrum Shadynasty, Anderson, and Liss and Shoe?s Dynasty both had steep drops in total points.
