As Major League Baseball’s trade deadline drew to a close Thursday, things got wild.
The Astros rocked the American League by pulling off a mega-deal with the salary-dumping Twins to bring shortstop Carlos Correa back to Houston
The Padres showed they’re going for it in the NL West by trading with the Athletics for closer Mason Miller and starter JP Sears. The Padres also acquired first baseman Ryan O’Hearn and outfielder Ramon Laureano from the Orioles in exchange for six players.
The Rockies? They didn’t make any blockbuster moves, but they weren’t wallflowers either. They traded veteran third baseman Ryan McMahon last Friday, veteran reliever Tyler Kinley on Wednesday, and righty reliever Jake Bird on Thursday
Following is a look at the Rockies’ dealings:
Biggest winners: McMahon and Bird, both of whom were shipped to the Yankees in exchange for four prospects.
