What managers actually gave for Sam in completed trades in public Sleeper leagues, newest first. Each shows the date and the league's settings; the price is what was agreed then, and the line under it is today's value, a different thing. Two-team trades of up to four pieces a side; none is left out for disagreeing with Swindlr. No league or manager names. 6 of them look lopsided at today's values (an injury or a role change since often explains it); none is left out.
