Some trades look great on paper but in real life do not work for the other guys on the team. Atlanta gets their man. A speedy center fielder who is a great leadoff hitter. The Giants get that big bat that will make the difference. The Pirates get a couple veteran bats in the middle of their line up that will keep them in the race. The Atlanta Braves at the time of the trade had a 5 game lead in the wildcard, all but gone now. The Giants had a 4 game lead and playing best baseball of the year now 1-5 later and tied for first. The Pirates free falling out of contention but at least the ball park is full. With Atlanta and San Francisco, both teams had fought injuries all year but despite that had good records and a group that was playing over their collective heads. I do not know why but getting their man made the other 24 have pause and overall losing has taken over. The Pirates had Jerry Meals to put a stop to the Pirates story.
