MLB playoffs 2020: Ranking 35 trades that shaped the Rays, Astros, Dodgers and Braves
You can sign a great player, but that's just about writing a bigger check than anybody else. You can draft a great player, but that's just about your pick coming before somebody else's pick. The true connoisseurs know that the fun is in trades. In a trade, it isn't enough to spot the talent or have the resources. A trade requires persuasion and sacrifice. It demands that a GM sell somebody on a hypothetical in which this lives there and that goes here. It puts a smart GM in a position to embarrass or be embarrassed by another smart GM. Free-agent deals "pay off" and draft picks "bust," but trades produce winners and losers.
