The trade deadline is officially over, so the seller versus buyer narrative can be put to rest. The Chicago Cubs shockingly looked like small buyers at the deadline, but this is mainly because the National League Central is weak, and they did not have to give up much prospect capital for Jeimer Candelario.'
The New York Mets clearly saw the writing on the wall and dealt Max Scherzer, Justin Verlander and Mark Canha for some solid prospects in the last couple of days.'
