The 2016 MLB trade deadline has passed and the rumors and trades are over. Operation #HUGWATCH is cancelled and with the exception of late announcements, all trades are complete. The big name that was not moved despite interest was Chris Sale. Several teams had inquired but nothing warranted the White Sox to part with him, and so he wasn’t dealt.
Every key MLB trade completed for the 2016 trade deadline
Every deal that has happened on and leading up to the Aug. 1 deadline.


The Josh Reddick/Rich Hill trade was one of the biggest trades of the day. Andrew Cashner was traded to the Marlins on Friday morning, and a surprise on Sunday was the Jonathan Lucroy deal that fell through when the catcher nixed the trade. Nevertheless, the Indians have become the team to beat in the American League with their acquisition of Miller, despite being unable to land Lucroy.
Flame-throwing reliever Aroldis Chapman was traded to the Cubs in return for four players that includes three prospects. Also, the Blue Jays upped their outfield with Melvin Upton, Jr., and then on the same day swapped bodies with the Mariners. The trade market is teetering on the edge of a big weekend of trading, and Monday will only get better.
Another notable trade occurred when the Cubs acquired left-handed pitcher Mike Montgomery and minor league right-hander Jordan Pries from the Mariners in exchange for two minor league prospects. And on Thursday night, Eduardo Nunez was sent packing to the Giants. Here’s what took place:

The report is that the deal was in place but being as the Indians are on Lucroy’s no-trade clause he had to approve. Lucroy had asked for Cleveland to dissolve his 2017 club option in the deal and the Indians refused. Lucroy then exercised his option and the deal fell through.
