The 2015 MLB trade deadline was only two weeks ago, but there is already an array of contending clubs that made decisions that have proven to be highly regrettable.
Take, for instance, the Los Angeles Dodgers, who only made minor tweaks to a bullpen that has turned into a pumpkin. While clubs like the Dodgers should be ruing their missed opportunities, there is also an assortment of teams that found some flat-out bargains in the final days of July.
In running down the steals of the trade season, the idea isn't to highlight the blockbuster moves like the Toronto Blue Jays' acquisitions of Troy Tulowitzki and David Price or the Kansas City Royals' addition of Johnny Cueto. There's no debating the impact that those stars have already made, but they also came at far too high of a cost to be termed "steals."
Instead, the idea is to focus on lower-profile players who have already been difference-makers with their new squads. As it turns out, one of Kansas City's other trade additions fits that bill.
