Aaron Sanchez, Nicholas Castellanos, Zach Greinke, and Shane Greene are some of the names that were traded on the July 31st Trade Deadline. There was much drama as the Trade Deadline entered its final day and postseason contenders were trying to fill needs at the last-minute. In fact, according to Astros GM, Jeff Luhnow, the transaction for Greinke was completed with about five minutes left before the four o’clock deadline. Where were the St. Louis Cardinals?
Not to be outdone, the Cardinals offered their own trade deadline drama, complements of infielder Jedd Gyorko, who had not played since June 7th.
