What happened: The ledger contains 17 trades completed from July 10 through July 31. Returns include players, cash considerations, draft capital and international bonus pool money.

Why it matters: Twelve teams in each league are within five games of a playoff spot. That crowded race could leave more clubs weighing additions before the window closes.

By the numbers: Pittsburgh appeared in four transactions, the most of any club; Minnesota appeared in three.

What to watch: Watch whether clubs near the playoff line shift from holding to buying or selling as transactions accelerate.
