To get something, one must give something, and the Pittsburgh Pirates showed this yesterday. Baseball might have the toughest trade deadline out of all the major sports. While the NFL has a basically nonexistent trade deadline, and the NBA and NHL swapping mainly picks, the MLB sees multiple players going in trades every time one is made. Mainly, it is one team acquiring a veteran player while the other team is acquiring prospects. Often times it is a hard pill to swallow for both sides. The team getting the proven player is pumped to get a legitimate player, but they also have to trade young players who at one point were viewed as a big part of their future.
