The non-waiver trade deadline is never predictable. You never know what’s going to happen until the clock hits 4 p.m., and sometimes it takes even a few minutes after that for the smoke to clear.
I remember watching the clock with reliever Tommy Hunter in the Orioles clubhouse in 2015, seeing 4 p.m. come and go and Hunter joking that he survived the deadline, only to find out minutes later that he had been traded to the Chicago Cubs for outfielder Junior Lake.
