I like to break this down each year: There were 15 buyers, 14 sellers, and whatever you call the Dodgers. That’s shoehorning a lot of teams who did very little into these categories. I guess the Royals bought (Randal Grichuk, Mike Yastrzemski, Bailey Falter). I guess the Red Sox bought (Matz and May). I guess the Braves sold (Rafael Montero). I guess the White Sox sold (Austin Slater). I think if A.J. Preller doesn’t make the inexplicable De Vries trade, we’re telling a much different story about this deadline.
