Blake Snell was there for the taking at the trade deadline
The Giants listened to no-hitter Blake Snell at the deadline, but given that they had already paid his $17 million signing bonus and all that remained was a $5 million salary and a $30 million player option for 2025 that he would almost certainly decline, they naturally wanted a top prospect in return. Even though […]
How Mets’ trade deadline approach can help now — and in future
The Mets faced the 2015 trade deadline again, but unfortunately Yoenis Cespedes was not there. They praised each other on an Oscar-like deadline with only a best supporting award given out. It’s a process without a star in the room across sports, and it fits right into the 20,000-foot mindset that David Stearns, with Steve […]
Mets’ trade deadline moves not sexy but they filled some needs
After losing significant depth to their starting rotation over the course of several days last week, the Mets made moves to bolster their starting rotation on Tuesday before pivoting to their struggling relief corps ahead of the trade deadline at 6 p.m. It wasn’t a particularly attractive move considering the high-end pitchers on the market, […]

Yankees’ deadline haul didn’t match championship-or-bust hopes
The Yankees were at par with one batter facing and two relief pitchers vacating the plate at the deadline. It was basically the bare minimum. Would par be enough? An AL East title. And, of course, more than that, because these Yankees weren’t assembled for par. This should be a make-or-break season, made even more […]
David Stearns’ bulk approach filled Mets’ holes at trade deadline
No, this isn’t the move when Yoenis Cespedes arrived on a white horse (literally and figuratively) as the 2015 trade deadline loomed and led the Mets to the World Series. This isn’t Don Clendenon arriving just hours before the deadline on June 15, 1969. This was the final push the young Mets needed to shock […]
