    Generally, this is the nature of keeper leagues, and I shrug most of what Shandler is doing off. My only concern is his airing of the offers that others have made to him. I think conversations/emails should be considered private.

    As for the truly bad actors, the guys who make a mockery of the league once they are out of it, that’s when the commish needs to step in and make sure the guy understands he won’t be in the league the next year. Truly collusive trades should be vetoed.
