Revenue Sharing Makes July Boring

[ZAZ]

I do like level playing fields in sports, but it's ironic that it makes for a boring trade season. Few teams are totally out of it and need to dump salary thanks to all this. It used to be fun in late July to see the big changes. Hopefully it makes the end of September VERY fun with many teams fighting for a divisional win or that one wild card. I predict at least one one-game playoff.

in the meantime, I'm kinda bored.......

The transactions are really boring, no doubt about it. Maybe pushing the trade deadline back wouldn't be a bad idea to identify more sellers.

This year has been awful for trades. Last year there was the huge Beltran deal, the Nomar deal, etc. What has been the biggest trade this year? Eric Byrnes?

Don't forget the blockbuster. John McDonald for cash from the Tigers.

Don't worry, we all make mistakes.

C'mon guys... Junior Spivey to the Nationals for Tomo Ohka?
Preston Wilson to the Nationals for Zach Day?
Marlon Byrd to the Nationals for Endy Chavez?

Those aren't big trades? Damn! Guess not...

It's weird how every sport is kind of close nowadays...........In football the wildcard was way too close last year....In basketabll people were fighting for the last spot for the playoffs and now baseball is tight as ever......these things make the end of the season a helluva a lot of fun

I think it does make September really fun.

The last thing I want to see is more Yankees/Red Sox arms build up. We already get enough of that during the offseason.

Baseball will gladly trade a boring trade deadline for an exciting September. Who are the people that pay attention to the trades in July? Hardcore baseball fans, not your typical MLB viewer. We'll all be watching baseball anyway, regardless if this time of year is boring. An entertaining July won't draw fans, but an entertaining September will create a huge buzz for everyone to pay attention to.

But yes, this trade deadline has blown.
