The dust settles........
Can anyone remember a trading deadline where so many big names were involved? Can anyone remember a deadline where so many contending teams dealt with each other? Usually deadline deals involve a contender swapping prospects with a non-contender for a major leaguer to fill a need. There were a few deals like that this time around, but there were also deals between the Dodgers and Marlins; Dodgers and Red Sox; Phillies and Giants; Red Sox, Cubs and Twins; and the White Sox and Yankees. All those teams have a legitimate shot at a title and they all traded with each other.

I also can't remember a deadline with so many lopsided deals. After watching in shock for the last two days, I have just begun to sort out all of the moves, and I've split them up into "winners", "neutral", and "losers". Enjoy.
