MLB's non-waiver trade deadline has passed. It's time for more trading.
In many cases, Tuesday represented the last chance for a player to change teams. Jacob deGrom and Bryce Harper aren't going anywhere in August.
Yet a process to maneuver remains open. A team can shop a player who clears waivers or negotiate exclusively with the team who claims him. These extra complications dwindle the odds of a productive, cost-controlled player getting moved, but they preserve the possibility of costly or inconsequential contributors headlining an exchange.
Last year's waiver period will undoubtedly be remembered for the Houston Astros acquiring Justin Verlander on Aug.
