After a flurry of trade activity throughout the weekend into Monday evening, MLB’s trade deadline has officially passed. There were a handful of deals completed involving star players, most notably the Tarik Skubal blockbuster between the Tigers and Dodgers, as well as the Red Sox and Orioles’ deal for Adley Rutschman.
