Every week, we ask a selected group of our baseball writers — local and national — to rank the teams from first to worst. Here are the collective results.
It is Aug. 5. Finally, we can stop talking about the trade deadline. Well … after this. We have a little bit more to say.
The thing is, given the number of trades at this year’s deadline — a record 36 on Thursday — it took a few days to fully digest everything that happened. Did you know the Royals traded for Mike Yastrzemski? We did, and then we forgot, and now we do again. We’ve decided to make it easy by summing up each team’s trade deadline in just one word … and then we write a few more words to tell you what we meant by that one word.
And then we’ll stop talking about the trade deadline.
