The Deadline Has Passed →

Great explanation from the magnificent Paul DePodesta, one of the front office guys for the Padres and former Dodgers general manager from back when I had faith in the front office. The comments are a great read as well, with readers asking questions and Paul answering. This is a perfect primer for newer or less geeky baseball fans who might be wondering why all the fuss and dealing the past week. Also, check out this shirt. Same DePo.
