We are less than two weeks from the July 31 non-waiver Trade Deadline, which means some of the biggest names in baseball are about to be traded. It always seems strange to trade a star, doesn't it? It's so hard to get one of those guys in the first place; when you trade them, are you moving forward? Finances are finances, but stars are stars.
This week at The Thirty, in honor of the Trade Deadline, we look at the best player on each current roster to have been acquired via trade. The team didn't draft him, or sign him as a free agent: They simply got him by convincing another team that what they were offering was better than the player being giving up.
