I will only notate human moves, not info about picks. “X” means traded, “*” pick up. FYI – I got this list by combing through a crap-ton of tweets, so mistakes are likely. Before we judge others teams, let’s see what drunk Gramps has been up to …

FYI – This was all written on 10/12, so that anything that happened afterwards is mud.
