I think Greinke’s deal being at very last minute was strategized for other rivals to have no time to respond; had it happened a few hours before during the day I can imagine the Yankees and Dodgers entering an arm’s race and maybe writers are not having the conversation?
Also making a mountain about the state of baseball from small events is sure to be a editorial hit. In volume and in WAR perspective the trade deadline seems to have been in the average.
Also Manny and Darvish in the 2017 and 2018 World Series.
