The Toronto Blue Jays were quieter than expected at the MLB Trade Deadline.

The New York Mets were far from dormant at the 2022 MLB trade deadline. They added three new bats and a bullpen arm, giving them a deeper roster as they look to claim the National League pennant. However, the Mets left a lot to be desired at the deadline. The quintet of Tyler Naquin, Daniel […]

The Los Angeles Dodgers had a fairly underwhelming 2022 MLB trade deadline. Sure, they acquired Joey Gallo, but that was their standout move ahead of the deadline. With that being said, this is the Dodgers we are talking about. Their roster is already stacked so they did not really need to add a whole lot. […]

The Los Angeles Angels had a pretty quiet MLB trade deadline, though it could have involved a franchise-altering- and league-changing- move.

Owner Arte Moreno reportedly didn’t […]

The St. Louis Cardinals had a pretty solid 2022 MLB trade deadline.

The Houston Astros made some quality moves at the MLB trade deadline, bringing in the likes of first baseman Trey Mancini, reliever Will Smith, catcher Christian Vazquez and utility Mauricio Dubon.

Frankie Montas was traded from the Oakland Athletics to the New York Yankees in a deadline blockbuster. Montas, who has spent the last six seasons in Oakland, became attached to the organization.

The Angels […]

Joey Gallo finally got his wish. Just as they were expected to do, the New York Yankees dealt the struggling outfielder away ahead of the MLB trade deadline. What wasn’t expected?
