MLB teams are done trading for the year ( well, unless they use this exception ) now that the deadline has come and gone. A bevy of blockbusters flew in over the weekend as clubs positioned themselves for the stretch run, and some were more successful than others at accomplishing their buying or selling goals. We determined which front offices made the best moves with our trade deadline report card .
There are, of course, the obvious ones. The Dodgers acquiring Tarik Skubal made them the biggest winners of all, and the Red Sox bolstered their red-hot lineup with Adley Rutschman in a move that could keep them in control of their own postseason destiny. But what about the teams that made sneaky good trades ?
Our Matt Snyder loves what the Padres did in acquiring Casey Mize , which is the main reason why they received an "A" for their deadline moves.
Some clubs left us (and their fans) wanting a whole lot more, though. These are among the teams who graded out the poorest:
The top spot in the Power 18 Rankings has been untouchable all year with Scottie Scheffler retaining his status as the World No. 1. The contenders behind him, though, have shuffled throughout the season, and another big climber is breathing down his neck and Rory McIlroy's . Cameron Young is up to No. 3 in this month's rankings following consecutive top-10 finishes.
Young was fantastic at The Open with three rounds below par, and he followed up his second-place result at Royal Birkdale with a tie for eighth at the Rocket Classic. Here's our Robby Kalland on Young's late-season return to form:
