On July 20, 2014, the trade deadline was in full swing. A quick look at this trade deadline tracker shows us that by this date last season, Huston Street, Jason Frasor, Jeff Samardzija, Jason Hammel, and Brandon McCarthy had all found new homes. The heavy action was still on the way, but the prelude was magnificent.
Here we are on July 20, 2015, and I guess the big trade so far has been for Clayton Richard? Many teams have a glaring need for activity, such as the Tigers, but nothing is happening. At all.
