Reality TV isn’t really my thing.
I haven’t watched any in years, at least since Cubs part-owner Todd Ricketts’ failed attempt at selling hot dogs in “Undercover Boss.”
But this year’s trade deadline created some must-see reality TV, including one strange episode Wednesday night that had everything: a crying ballplayer, a Twitter catastrophe, player selfies, a trade that fell apart and evil genius Scott Boras to boot.
Plenty of big names were dealt last week, including Cole Hamels, Troy Tulowitzki, David Price, Johnny Cueto, Jonathan Papelbon and Carlos Gomez, while a few dozen prospects who may or may not turn out to be the real deal changed organizations as well.
