Ooooh that editing where the player clip shifts from old to new team is CLEEEAAANNNN

The whole "don't prospect hug" thing fails to recognize the guys who teams refused to part ways with. Houston's "quiet" deadline failed to get Sonny Gray or Yu Darvish mainly because they refused to part ways with guys like Kyle Tucker and Yordan Alvarez. Instead, they found a more cost efficient option in Verlander (who clearly turned out to also be the best option by far). The Dodgers also consistently refuse to empty the farm despite being a big market team that can afford to pay a ton of superstars. Calhoun was the top guy they traded, but refused to leverage Verdugo, Beuhler, and Lux. The takeaway shouldn't be "always trade your prospects" nor should it be "never trade your prospects"; rather, it should be "treat your prospects like the assets they truly are." If the Dodgers were going to give up a guy like Verdugo or Keibert Ruiz in a deal, they better be getting guys like Mookie Betts, Max Scherzer, and Trea Turner. Fans want to trade guys just to trade guys, but the minor league players that you don't know about often have equal value to the Major League players you know. It's not biased "prospect hugging", it's part of the business.

Liriano for Teoscar is a flair on the Jays subreddit, absolutely legendary trade.

JD Martinez was so damn good 2017-2019. One of the best second half acquisitions with 29 Home runs in 62 games for AZ and whats crazy is he was one of the last free agents to sign before the 2018 season going on to hit 43 home runs ,130 rbis and become a key member for one of the best championship teams in mlb history.

Quick note for 14:00 AJ Alexy, one of the returns for the Darvish deal has bounced between AAA and MLB in 21&22. Hasn't been all too good as a starter and the rangers are transitioning him into a long relief pitcher

Love how you said that only Willie Calhoun was the only one who made it to the show…,. Don’t forget future CY YOUNG AWARD WINNING PITCHER AJ ALEXI

Teoscar Hernandez was blocked by a talented Houston outfield and was a bench player. But what really happened was he a MVP front runner Jose Altuve collided on a shallow pop fly to center field. Altuve got hurt and Hernandez got traded. Another player crashed into Altuve 2 seasons later and got traded

Great Video!! What about Jay Bruce to the Indians on August 9? He was a big part of the 22-Straight Wins

As a new fan to baseball I love these kind of videos. I can learn so much about the recent history of the game

The hours putting into this video is absolutely insane... Great work. Then you have the presence of mind to look at situations(cap space, needs at position, place at standing...etc) at that moment instead of seeing it with 20-20 hindsight. Just an outstanding piece.

1. That is some CLEAN editing 2. I completely forgot the Mets got Drew Smith from the Duda trade. Thanks Rays! 3. Looking forward to the 2018 deadline video next. Arguably even crazier than '15 or '17. Lot of all star caliber talent moved

There should be a video on blockbuster trades that were expected to happen but didn't, such as how in 2019, everyone and their mother said there was going be a big Matt Boyd trade but it never happened. Everyone seems to have forgotten this as Boyd steadily declined after not being traded.

13:55 "wonder how that happened". Oh shut up. He lost both games at dodger stadium

Just a reminder the dodgers chose to start Yu Darvish in game 7 over their 2nd greatest player in team history

CLEAN edits! Thanks Jolly!

Babe wake up there's a new Jolly Olive video!!!

I am binge-watching your content dude, you are awesome! Hope you reach 100k

I didn't understand at the time why Jose Quintana was such a big name in 2017. Looking back at it, his stats at the time, and what the Cubs gave up, and yeah... it's no surprise the Cubs are where they are

Love these videos! You should consider doing one for the Winter Meetings when the time comes as well!

Just have to point out, the real reason Sonny Gray struggled in NY is because the Yankees had him using his terrible 4-seam fastball in a homer-friendly ballpark. That thing got demolished in NY, and the other changes to his pitch mix were also bad. Notably, as soon as he ended up with the Reds, his pitch mix went back to his prior standards and he became solid again.

Interesting to see how these trades shaped where we are today. Good vid!

Only real ones remember when Justin Verlander was left out of the og video.

2017 was the year I first started to truly get into baseball, and what I remember about this trade deadline was my Brewers trading with the Mets for Neil Walker. Really wished the Brewers kept him around. He was great.

I believe outside of a healthy Degrom, Treinen has the nastiest stuff in the league when’s he’s right Good video, channels like this made it an easy decision to ditch cable Also, the return my A’s got for Donaldson and Gray makes me sick to my stomach. The Gray deal I had some optimism, but the Donaldson deal was a bad trade at the time too. Here’s to hoping for better success rate from the Olson, Chapman, Bassitt, Manaea and soon to be Montas trades.

i LOVE this series. I love trades

I forgot how good your commentary is

This is Gold, Thanks 🤘

The real ones saw the original

I still can’t believe Toronto turned Drew Hutchison and Liriano into 2x silver slugger, Teoscar Hernandez

I've been waiting for this

Yay u got verlander in the video the second time around!!!!

Bro Gary and Keith are talking about you on the Mets broadcast!! If you didn’t already know lol

The best trade of that year was at the Waiver Deadline when Verlander got dealt

Didn’t Yu get lit up at home, in dodger stadium?

Nice video as always

Darvish got lit up beause he was tipping his pitches

You forgot about Joe Smith and Jay Bruce to Cleveland played huge parts in the 22 game winning streak in 2017

MLB needs to bring back players weekend with uniforms like the 2017 ones

I’d love to see a video about the 2008 trade deadline. That one always stuck out to me as a kid

2022: Let me introduce myself

This is great, but DEFINITELY not something to watch while dosing off! The amount of information covered is astounding! 😂👌 I feel like I need to pause and hand-write notes to keep up! 🤯 Now if I could just get you to compile a weekly update on all sports… I’d always be the most “in the know” person I know! 😂👌

Wow what a haul for quintana

Well ig we can say now things popped off 🤣

Yea…as a Tigers fan, that Martinez trade blew my mind, the day it happened. Al Avila is reviled here.

Ya, that Juan Soto trade is the biggest in recent history

Dawg O'Neill was playing hurt and since his return has been mashing

I can’t wait until next year’s 2018 Trade deadline because it’s my favorite year

WOW I forgot Tony Watson played for the Dodgers!

The fact the dodgers had Yordan and Oniel in their farm system and are still considered the top farm system in MLB is fucking crazy 😂

It’s all overhyped Yankees prospects at the end lol. Andujar and Frazier and Bird were hyped up too. Now they have Dominguez, Volpe etc. We’ll see how this next crop turns out. I’m a Jays fan btw lol

i'm having deja vu

I guess Yu Darvish wasn’t tipping his pitches and didn’t blow an elimination home game either

Completely missed the best trade of that year when a 60-51 Cleveland team gave the Mets a prospect no one's heard of in Ryder Ryan for a month and a half of Jay Bruce after Lonnie Chisenhall was declared out for the season in Right Field. Two weeks after that Cleveland was 69-56, Three weeks and a Jay Bruce walkoff after that they were 91-56. At seasons end Cleveland was 102-60 and in possession of Homefield advantage for the postseason (which they promptly Blew). Cleveland was 42-9 with Jay Bruce in that lineup for 43 of their final 51 games...I've never seen a team respond so well to 1 addition like the Tribe did that year.

Idk if it was at the deadline but will Harris for yordan Astros and dodgers was that year

O'neil Cruz, just like Roberto Clemente... Started as a Dodgers prospect, then go to the Pirates; the rest is history!

As a cubs fan the quintana trade feels like I got shot to this day

Nothing could have prepared me for that sponsor

When the Yanks got Sonny Gray, I wasn’t impressed. I had a feeling he would struggle and I was right

Common Olive Oil video W

AJ Alex pitched in the majors for Texas in 2021 and 2022 Lol

I sat through 2 ads now I have to listen to your sponsorship - sorry not willing to do this

i had no clue oneil cruz was a dodgers prospect oh my God

1/2 season of Tony Watson for prospect O’Neil Cruz. My oh my, that makes me sick to my stomach lmao.

Great video

Eloy and Cease for Quintana makes me puke everytime I hear about it.

Since this Hader got moved. Will Smith and odorizzi just swapped, Cards got Quintana. Yankees got montas, Mariners got Castillo. It's been a good one

Hey jolly can you do trade trees? That would be sick!!

AJ Alexly has made a career start

AJ Alexy has definitely made it to the show and still has promise

4:56 why were the Janks playing the Rays in Citi? Wut?

Now…… Juan Soto

I hate the “don’t prospect hug” argument. No one prospect hugs. Owners clearly invest in minor league talent because not only is that the future of the organization, but they are all assets. It’s super shortsighted to ignore that. There’s minor leaguers right now that have more value than 70% of the league. Free agency and trades are there to round out/compliment your roster. But at the end of the day- your core is homegrown and they’re the ones that decide if you’re chip contenders.

The Show ‘17 was the last good release of the series.

Reupload?????

Astros didn’t cheat against Yu darvish at dodger stadium. Yu darvish just shit the bed

A jolly W

4:46 why were the Yankees playing in Citi Field

Wow. Not gonna lie the Tigers that season really got fleeced on all their trades.

8:18 They traded for Garcia, giving up John Gant

Can you do a Chad Billingsley video?

I’m sorry was that the Yankees vs Rays at Citi Field????? 10:03

AJ Alexy did make the show

When the dbacks traded for JD Martinez he went crazy! I Will never forget the 4 homer game against the dodgers!

2011 trade deadline was the greatest

Jolly🐐

Gets blown by the Astros both at home and on the road. Cheating or not he got lit up

Real ones saw the first video lol

You forgot about Howie Kendrick

Astros have enjoyed a good 2 seasons of Verlander. 5 years makes it sound like he was there for 3 of those.

Imagine Cruz on the dodgers Jesus lol

Do you think MLB should change their rules to allow the trading of draft picks as well? I think it’s long overdue.

Why were the Yankees playing the rays at citi field 4:57

Ok so no Josh Fields for Yordan Alvarez

have you done a prediction for the deadline coming up? 👀👀

Imo the 2017 season was the best in general

Verlander isn’t in the thumbnail?

14:04 A.j alexy has made the show. Great vid though

Biased as a Cardinals fan, but I feel like the Cards won the Oneil Marco trade. ONeils regression is largely due to injury

It was 5 years ago guys, get over it.

Worst trades ever for the Tigers, Al Avila has sets this team back a decade and they keep getting worse
