The MLB Trade Deadline has come and gone, and some teams did better than others. Who’s looking the best?
Well, there we have it, another epic trade deadline came and went but its effects will be visible until the end of October, and even beyond. The Pirates, regardless of how their season ends this year, will have Chris Archer on their roster come 2019.
The question, in this case, isn’t about the long-term impacts of these players, but rather what they will do in the short-term. How will teams use their newly acquired stars to help them down the stretch in the race for October?
Speaking of October, we’ll see 8 teams there, 10 including the Wild Card game. Some of those teams will be teams we expect, squads who made notable moves yesterday.
Others teams, however, decided to sell and virtually guarantee that they will not see the lights of October for at least 4 years or so.
So, looking at each and every team, who won the deadline? Was it the Yankees, or was it Andrew Friedman?
Let’s break it down.
