The Yankees, here only 2.5 games out of a Wild Card spot, traded for veteran C.J. Wilson and cash (ANA) for Castro and Castillo (NYY) While the trade is a strange one, both teams’ records in this simulation are nearly identical to reality. It’s an odd trade for the Twins, as they are just as far away from the playoffs here as they are in real life. The Phillies did what they didn’t do in real life and traded (gave away?) Jeremy Hellickson to the Twins for two mid-level prospects. Hellickson (PHI) for Nordgren and English (MIN)

Meanwhile, the struggling Marte represents an upgrade for Houston’s outfield in a simulated year when they are atop the American League West. However, White represents a top 10 prospect in this game and is having a great rookie season. So it may have surprised fans in Pittsburgh to see Marte moved. In this simulation, the Pirates were only one game off their actual record (54-50 as opposed to 53-51) in both cases, they are very much in the Wild Card hunt. Marte and cash (PIT) for White and Radziewski (HOU)
Using Out of the Park 2016, here are some “big” trades that went down on a simulated July 31st (OOTP uses the traditional date in its simulation).
Even some recently active teams, like the Phillies, remained quiet on Monday.īut what if things had played out differently? What other big trades might have been executed with even just the most minor of changes? Sure, there were a lot of trades, but we just didn’t see the blockbusters or big names moved like we have in the past. The non-waiver trade deadline has come and gone.
