The MLB trade deadline is in the rearview mirror -- and a number of teams look fairly different because of it.
Two of our top-10 teams -- the Dodgers and Padres -- went for it at the deadline and were considered two of the biggest winners once 6 p.m. ET Tuesday passed. San Diego, specifically, saw a big boost, going from No. 13 to seventh, its highest ranking on the season. Meanwhile, the Guardians have continued their roll to debut at No. 2, surpassing the likes of the Dodgers, Yankees and Orioles.
Which contenders got the biggest boost from the deadline and moved up our list? And which clubs didn't do themselves any favors?
