While there wasn't much action to report on the last day of July, there were still moves that will have major impact come October. Below are the winners and losers of the trading deadline. Winners: Atlanta Braves: While the move was probably just a blurp in the sports' page to some fans, the move to bring Kyle Farnsworth back home could be the move that pushes the Braves over the top. Farnsworth, a Georgia native, has always had one of the best arms of any middle reliever in the game, but he could never make full use of his talents. This is where Leo Mazzone comes into play because he has made a living of taking a pitcher that has underperformed and maxing him out in Atlanta. If this happens, the Braves will have a great back end of the rotation with Chris Reitsma and Farnsworth to make up for the disappointing Dan Kolb. The bullpen was the one glaring weakness of this team and it now can become one of its strength in the playoffs. New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox: You might be wondering why I have clumped these two rivals together. The reason is they are both winners for the same reason, which is not trying to buy success. In recent years, both Boston and New York have tried to throw money at their problems instead of waiting for the right deal and keeping their top prospects. Both organizations have enough talent to make a run at the World Series right now, so they don't have to trade young prospects that can help in the coming years. Watch for Robinson Cano and Eric Duncan of New York and Hanley Ramirez and Jon Papelbon of Boston because these are some of the players that now will have the chance to carry on this great rivalry. Losers: Chicago White Sox: In an improbable season that sees the White Sox with a major league best 69-35, but they hurt their postseason chances by standing pat. The White Sox, by their own admission, don't know the reasons for their success, but their flaws are evident. They lack a power bat now that Frank Thomas is lost for the season, and they have questions about the back end of their bullpen. Now, they did the right thing in not pursuing a power bat because the asking price for some of the top ones was outrageous, but there was pitching to be had. They could have gone after Billy Wagner or Eddie Guardado, both of which would have stabilized the bullpen so it could back up a great rotation. General Manager Kenny Williams is usually known for being a decisive mover, but this blink of an eye could cost Chicago a trip to the World Series. Cincinnati Reds: Granted, no move the Reds did was going to help them win this season, they should have taken advantage of the overpricing of some of their players. Reports from very reliable people said the Reds were offered four good prospects for Dunn, which is too much for a guy that strikes out too much and doesn't believe in playing defense. Other key chips they should have let go of are Austin Kearns and Eric Milton. Kearns isn't starting for the Reds anymore and Milton could result in some good pitching prospects if he went to a fly-ball ballpark (San Diego, Washington). Most of the other teams are in the gray area because there weren't enough trades made to make a definitive decision. The old sang it that no move is a good move. Some contending teams hope this is true because if it isn't, they might be looking in on other teams come October.
