Several contending teams made significant trades ahead of the August 3 MLB trade deadline, according to reporting from CBS Sports. One month into the post-deadline period, however, the success of those moves has varied considerably.

CBS Sports identified several names tied to the deadline acquisitions, including Adley Rutschman, Clay Holmes, and Luis García Jr., noting that not all of the deals have produced the hoped-for results so far. The reporting indicated that teams were operating in a seller's market heading into the deadline, giving buyers leverage in negotiations.
