Making sense of it all

We will have our usual trade breakdown post for each deal that was made on Wild Wednesday, but for now, let's try and make sense of what happened.

Never before have we seen a day like last Wednesday. To recap, at the end of the day, here's where we stood, after seven-and-a-half crazy hours.


Trade 1 (2:14 p.m.)
Chris receives Dan Haren (Keeper/1 yr.) and Howie Kendrick
Joe receives Zack Greinke (K/2) and Jhonny Peralta

Trade 2 (4:55 p.m.)
Ken receives David Wright, Nate Schierholtz and Jake Peavy
Jack receives Mike Stanton, Ryan Vogelsong

Trade 3 (9:43 p.m.)
Andy receives Cliff Lee (K/1) and Ryan Ludwick
Ken receives Kevin Youkilis (K/2) and Jair Jurrjens

Clearly, this is a huge shake-up in the league (and not just because I have to go and re-do the image on the "This year's keepers" page.

Ken, Jack, Chris and Joe all looking to make that move to get over the top before on the playoff chase, while Andy sets himself up nicely for the future.

We'll have more on each trade throughout the week.
