Besides the 2 big trades with manny and griffey...don't u think this was a boring trade deadline?

Question

i mean a lot of teams did nothing at all

Answer 1

Yes, unless one of your teams was involved in those deals.

Answer 2

Yeah it was. I had hoped that Beane would trade Street, but he didn't.

d**n.

Answer 3

it wasn't really boring because u never knew if it would really happen or not...and a lot of big name players were dealt (CC, Pudge) so it wasnt really boring

Answer 4

Yes, but only because 2 other 'big" trades (Sabathia and Harden) happened much earlier.  

Answer 5

Not at all.

A's gave up 2 pitchers Blanton and Harden

Sabbathia got traded

Jason Bay.

Ivan Rodriguez

man this wasn't a boring trade deadline man

Answer 6

Yes it was a little boring

Answer 7

You know something? i was thinking the same thing i raced home from work to be home a 4pm to see all the trades,and really there wasn't any real blockbuster trades at all.

Answer 8

a little but with all of the trades through the whole season, this was pretty good trade year

cc sabathia to brewers

harden to cubs

blanton to phillies

rameris to dodgers

bay to red sox

blake to dodgers

griffey to sox

rhodes to marlins

pudge to yankees

nady to yankees

i think this has changed the al east dramatically, sealed the deal for the white sox, made a intersting race in nl central and gave the dodgers a chance in nl west.

The deadline was boring but a good year for trades.

Answer 9

yeah i agree

Answer 10

the thing is the big trades were ALREADY MADE in the last couple of weeks. Guys like sabathia, harden, even pudge were made before the deadline. I wasn't really expecting anything big.  

Answer 11

Are you kidding? This trade deadline was huge.

Although I could feel this way because I am a Yankees fan living near Pittsburgh. The Red Sox essentially forfeited playoffs and the Pirates made another stupid move. Those are huge for a person in my position.

Also, I'm still excited with Brian Cashman's moves. Pudge fills a huge hole, Nady is getting his groove on, Marte is going to bolster the bullpen sooner rather than later. We rid ourselves of Farnsworth! That is cause for celebration in itself! LaTroy Hawkins is also gone, and while I'm sure he is a nice guy, he is not a nice pitcher.

Teixeira going to the Angels is important. It sort of went under the radar, but that makes the Angels more terrifying. They are a scary team.

I thought the trade deadline was exciting. My head is pounding. All the Manny rumors, and then Jason Bay was going to Boston, then Tampa, then Boston again. Then the Marlins wanted too much and then the Dodgers wanted back in Manny talks. Meanwhile I was waiting for the Yankees to get Washburn, but the Mariners were stubborn.

Some major trades happened before today, but counting down to 4:00 was tiring.

I had quite a day.

Answer 12

Yup. I can't believe the Royals didn't ship a reliever somewhere to be honest. Mahay is amazing, and would definitely add some power to a couple contenders bullpens.

Before the deadline though, some decent names got traded. Could have been worse, just a crappy week.
