The MLB Trade Deadline is always full of action and drama. Which trade deadline deal do you think made the biggest impact on a team’s postseason hopes? How does the pressure of the deadline affect teams’ decision-making?

I know I’m in the minority, but I wish we would try and stock up the minor leagues a little more. Not a fire sale but a McCormick or Myers since they kind of fit the same role.

Some of the best MLB trade deadline moves have reshaped franchises and led to championships. Deals like the Astros acquiring Justin Verlander (2017), the Red Sox landing Dave Roberts (2004), and the Dodgers trading for Manny Ramirez (2008) made immediate impacts. Smart deadline moves often define postseason success and long-term dominance.
