If my math is correct, the day after July 30th is July 31st. Today, folks, is July 30th. The one true trade deadline for MLB teams in this new format is July 31st. That means there’s transaction action galore, right?
Wrong. Tremendously wrong. There has barely been a peep on the trade front across the baseball landscape to date, and even the one big move - Marcus Stroman going from the Toronto Blue Jays to the New York Mets - both makes barely any sense and was widely panned for Toronto’s return.
