The winners (Padres, of course) and losers (Nationals) of the 2022 MLB trade deadline

The winners and losers from a very dramatic MLB trade deadline.

A VERY dramatic 2022 MLB trade deadline has come and gone, and there’s so much to buzz about.

Juan Soto did get dealt, as did a bunch of the names rumored to be on the move. A few contenders got stronger. Those in the middle? Not as much as the top tier of the MLB’s best. But there was no lack of news and drama … and you never know if these moves will truly pay off in a wild postseason.

So as we do every year, we’ll declare who won big and who lost in the process (note that some things might change after the 6 p.m. ET deadline as the last-minute deals come in).
