It's called the 2-for-1, and it will work out better for you than simialr offers pitched by Vince Offer.
The strategy is simple, and it works in all fantasy sports, particularly in shallow 10 or even eight team leagues. In many leagues, there are guys on the waiver wire that can help your squad. Most times, owners look at guys they want to add, but can't justify doing so becuase they don't have the roster space. Enter the 2-for-1. Target one player on another team that's slightly better than each of two different guys you will offer him. For him, he gets two guys that are alomst as good as the one he's giving up. For you, you get the real prize of the deal, and you can add the guy you want off waivers, which will likely tilt the deal in your favor. Do this two or three times, and you have a lineup packed with enough high end talent to make you very tough to beat, and you free up roster space to take gambles on guys who are riding hot streaks.
It's very simple, but many owners don;t try to employ the 2-for-1. Just last month a buddy of mine was trying to figure out a way to add Paul Konerko as a free agent. You think the 2-for-1 would have worked out well for him? Let's say he offered David Price and Billy Butler for Mark Teixeira. When he gets Konerko in the deal too, it looks a lot better. Then he can do the same sort of two for one and add an ace pitcher to replace Price.
