Houston Astros Pick Up Zack Greinke at Trade Deadline, Become World Series Co-Favorite
The Yankees also chose not to pick up any added help for the stretch run. But that was far from a surprise, as both general manager Brian Cashman and manager Aaron Boone had been saying the team wasn’t going out of their way to make any trades, as they were happy with how the team is currently comprised.
The best play was we did nothing,” Cashman told reporters. “And we did nothing for a very good reason, because we felt everything that was in front of me was really not obtainable because of the associated costs.”
A couple of second tier contenders did strength their rosters, though not enough to catapult them into the category of World Series frontrunners.
Notably, the Atlanta Braves (+850) made perhaps the biggest deal for a reliever, picking up closer Shane Green from the Detroit Tigers. Meanwhile, the Cleveland Indians (+2000) picked up outfielders Yasiel Puig and Franmil Reyes as part of a three-way trade with the Cincinnati Reds and San Diego Padres, though they did have to send starter Trevor Bauer to the Reds in the deal.
