MLB Trade Deadline: Impact on Future Odds
Today’s MLB trade deadline may have been the busiest in years, with a number of superstar players changing teams. Among the most prominent names are Jon Lester, David Price, John Lackey, Yoenis Cespedes, Allen Craig, Asdrubal Cabrera and Martin Prado.
Analysts will argue for weeks (and possibly longer) about which teams were winners and which were losers, but we’re more interested in how each of these trades will impact the futures market. In order to do so, we’re going to examine each of the major trades and analyze the futures from before and after the trade deadline.
