It is the trade deadline! - A Hunt and Peck

Ah, the MLB Trade Deadline. The time for frantic Twitter checking, scoops, scooping the scoops, and then recanting the scoops. It is a time for small, crying children to be callously recorded as they learn their favorite player was traded from their favorite team. It is the joy of improving for a playoff run versus the agony of rebuilding for the future. And now, to the news, because there is lots!
