The annual exercise of determining the winners and losers of the MLB trade deadline came with an ironic twist this year. The clear winner – Atlanta – mostly stood pat. The Braves’ acquisition of backup infielder Nicky Lopez from the Kansas City Royals merely reinforced the notion that the current favorites to win the World Series are the favorites for a reason.
Executives often say the best time to make improvements to the roster is in the offseason. This deadline demonstrated why.The New York Mets, six games under .500 through Tuesday, blew it all up. The San Diego Padres were two games under .500 at the deadline, but had a better run differential than every team ahead of them in the National League wild-card standings; only the Braves and Dodgers are better in the NL.
On the one hand, it’s understandable. Neither Cease nor Robert can become a free agent until 2026 at the earliest. Optimistically, the White Sox can use the next three offseasons to rebuild something resembling a contending team by then. If nothing else, fans can hang on to a pair of player jerseys they bought at the beginning of the season.
