Summary
Seven years ago, teams could still wheel and deal their way to the postseason thanks to the waiver trade deadline, a period in August where trades could still be made. However, that all changed after 2019, eliminating the transactional fun that occurred after July 31. Bradfo catches up with former Blue Jays GM and Mets exec J.P. Ricciardi to reflect on that dynamic, telling some awesome stories along the way. The guys also discuss how front offices have changed when it comes to building rosters.
