Trading deadline day

The MLB non-waiver trading deadline is only hours away. We’ve already had one big deal (The Braves have landed Mark Teixiera and Ron Mahay for Jarrod Saltalamacchia and two prospects) which is more than you can say about several of the last few seasons.

Other big names seem to be seriously be on the trading block too (Eric Gagne, Adam Dunn, Jermaine Dye).

I remember the days when big names being dealt at the deadline was common, not rare. If everything goes right, a return to the past happens today maybe? It was fun to see Mike Piazza as a Florida Marlin for a few days, and Randy Johnson pitching for Houston.
