What separates a World Series champion from every other team? The answer isn't found in a single superstar-it is often decided at the MLB Trade Deadline.
Why do some blockbuster trades transform a franchise while others become costly mistakes? What really happens behind the closed doors of front offices as executives race against the clock to reshape their teams? And how do a few critical decisions in late July determine who plays baseball in October-and who goes home?
