Dodgers- The Dodgers didn't make many trades on the Deadline but they did make one that could definitely impact there playoff contention. The Dodgers acquired First Baseman Mark Trumbo from the Houston Astros by trading First Baseman Johnathon Singelton and Left Field Prospect Brian Strachen. Trumbo is a good upgrade for Singleton, but Trumbo is most likely just a rental since he is looking for 21.3 Million over 5 years so I think we will see Trumbo on FA if he doesn't live up to his hopes.
White Sox- The White Sox made two good trades to try to help them in there playoff contention. One trade involved Marlins Center Fielder Ben Revere being traded to the Sox's for Center Fielder Jared Mitchell and Starter Sandy Westlake. After Revere was sent to winter league by the Twins he came back a revised player, as of 2017 he has a .315 Batting Average with a .387 On-Base Average.
Another Trade the White Sox made was too strengthen there Rotation by getting Jon Lester from the Mets for Second Baseman Prospect Jamie Perkins. This is a smart trade for Chicago because there getting a vetran Starter for a below average Prospect.
Red Sox- The Red Sox made the blockbuster trade of the Deadline by getting Casey Kelly from the Rockies by trading Starter Jarod Parker and three Starting Prospects in John White, Chris Warkol, and Quentin Roth. Kelly is one of the top Starters in BMJ, he is a great pitcher with a good contract. Kelly will no doubt be the man that clinches the Red Sox's playoff spot.
The Red Sox made another trade by getting two good prospects from the Reds for Pitcher Aaron Crow. The Sox got Pitching Prospects in Albertus Guebard and Jeff Alder. Guebard is a good power and Movement pitcher with a good Circle-Change and Slider. Guebard will probaley be a trade piece coming from Boston since I don't see Guebard ever coming too the Majors in Boston
