MLB Trade Deadline Overview

In just two days this whole mess dealing with the trade deadline will be sorted out. No one could probably need it to get here more than Roy Halladay.

Halladay started what might be his last game for the Blue Jays on Wednesday night and ended up taking only his fourth loss of the season.

Even though Halladay still hasn't been dealt yet, there's still plenty of players who will be suiting up in new uniforms.

Cliff Lee to Phillies

Initially the Phillies were looking to acquire Halladay but obviously a deal could never be worked. Instead they settled for last year's AL Cy Young winner in Cliff Lee (7-9, 3.14 ERA). The Phillies look like the second best team in the NL after this acquisition. They were in desperate need of an ace since Cole Hamels and Joe Blanton have had consistency problems. As crazy as this may seem, there's still a small chance that the Phillies could end up with Halladay and really make themselves the team to beat.

Freddy Sanchez to Giants

This is a great pick up for the Giants who obviously needed to add a good hitter to the lineup that ranks 27th in runs scored in the MLB. Freddy Sanchez is hitting .296 on the season and has a career batting average of .300. It didn't take much to improve this lackluster hitting lineup, but Sanchez definitely did the job and will help the Giants make a push for that NL wildcard.

Matt Holliday to Cardinals

This deal is kind of old news now but it couldn't be left out. Matt Holliday makes the Cardinals a great pick to make a run at the NL championship. Holliday provides some protection for Albert Pujols in the lineup and really makes this lineup pretty good with the bat. The pitching has also looked solid as of late.

Jack Wilson to Mariners

The Pirates definitely look to be scrapping this whole season and looking ahead to the future after they dealt not only Freddy Sanchez, but now Jack Wilson. Wilson's numbers may not be lights out (.267, 31 RBI) but he will provide a lot of veteran leadership for this ball club. The Mariners are a good sleeper pick at pulling out the AL wild card as they're only 6 1/2 games back of the Red Sox coming into tonight. It's not a huge splash for the M's, but it can't hurt them.
