The 2021 MLB trade deadline was the busiest trade deadline we've seen in years, and all those moves made at the deadline have helped shape the postseason races. The calendar flips to September on Wednesday and still 13 teams are within at least five games of a postseason spot as of Tuesday morning.Monday was the one-month anniversary of the trade deadline, and since we're about to head into the stretch run, why don't we take a second to review the deadline moves have had the most (and least) impact thus far? We're not going to review every single trade (there were a lot of them!), just the ones involving notable players joining contenders. Let's get to it. There's nothing quite as satisfying as a player coming over in a midseason trade and making a difference right away. Occasionally players will need a few days (or weeks) to settle in before they really contribute, and sometimes they hit the ground running. Here are the deadline moves that helped the team without a waiting period. COL 3B #23 and he's been an impact middle-of-the order presence since arriving. Also, he's played four positions with San Francisco Alexandre Texier Jersey (third base and the three outfield spots), giving manager Gabe Kapler all sorts of flexibility to use his entire roster and maximize matchups. Bryant has been a perfect fit for the Giants and vice versa. A new contract when he becomes a free agent after the season would make sense for both sides.

He's been very good in five of his six starts and downright excellent four times. Gibson is averaging over six innings per start with Philadelphia, so he's taken pre sure off their shaky bullpen, and he's reduced their reliance on fill-in starters like and . came over with Gibson from the and allowed two runs in each of his first two appearances with the Phillies, but has given up only three runs total since. Kennedy hasn't been great. He has been a net positive for the bullpen though, even if Philadelphia is seemingly incapable of going on a run that vaults the club into the postseason. NYM CF #6 No player traded at the deadline has helped their new team as much as . The -turned- outfielder has been a difference-maker in every single way since joining Oakland. He's been a force at the plate, he's saving runs in center field (which is especially important with ), and he's 20 for 20 stealing bases with the A's. Marte currently ranks fourth in the AL in stolen bases and third in Joonas Korpisalo Kids Jersey the NL in stolen bases. Decent chance he finishes top 10 in both leagues in steals this year, maybe even top five. Alas and alack, Oakland has fallen behind in the postseason race despite Marte's excellence and strong work from fellow deadline additions , , and . NYM SP #21 PHI 2B #7 What, you didn't expect to dominate with the Dodgers, did you? He's been dynamite in five starts since the trade and so has , who has seamle sly shifted over to second base and raised hell atop the lineup. The Dodgers acquired the best pitcher and the best position player who moved at the trade deadline and the two pickups could not be working out any better. Scherzer remains a no-doubt ace and Turner is simply electric, bringing a speed element to a roster that lacked a legitimate stolen base threat much of the year. PHI LF #12 "Instant" isn't the most accurate word to describe 's impact on the -- he returned from his hamstring injury on Aug. 13, two weeks after the trade deadline -- though he has indeed been impactful. Schwarber has reached base in 29 of 60 plate appearances with Boston and the first base experiment is going well enough in very limited time. The bottom of Boston's lineup was unimpre sive much of the season and Schwarber gives them a little more length. Trade deadline additions and haven't moved the needle much out in the bullpen. MIA RF #12 Replacing Ronald Acuna Jr. was always going to be impo sible. He is among the very best players in baseball and that makes him close to irreplaceable. Rather than go for that one big deadline addition, the instead brought in multiple players to bolster the outfield (and bullpen), and raised the floor of the roster. has been the best of the bunch, putting up numbers that are Zach Werenski Women Jersey e sentially Acua numbers in his month with Atlanta (.281/.391/.563 with eight home runs). has been steady in the bullpen and and (and , who only recently returned from the injured list) give the club more inventory in the outfield too. Clearly though, Soler is the deadline star for the Braves. Changing teams in the middle of a season and in the middle of a postseason race (and in the middle of a pandemic) isn't always easy, especially when you've spent your entire career with one franchise. Because of that, some players need time to get settled in before helping their new team. Here are the deadline additions who have yet to make a real difference for their club, but should soon enough. TOR SP #17 has been good to great in three of his six starts with the , and also pretty bad in the other three starts. The longtime righty has allowed 13 runs in 12 1/3 innings during a three-start span earlier this month, twice failing to complete five innings. Toronto is still on the fringes of the postseason race and Berros righting the ship would go a long way toward making a run at October. He is not a rental though, and the Blue Jays will have him in 2022. If nothing else, a strong finish would make Berros and the Blue Jays feel better about things heading into next season. Deadline bullpen addition has done more harm than good to date. WAS DH #23 The finally went out and got that big middle-of-the-order slugger at the trade deadline (feels Lukas Sedlak Women Jersey like we've been waiting for them to do that for years), and so far has been OK at best. He's hit a few timely home runs and handled himself well when the team put him at first base in an interleague game in a National League park. Otherwise Cruz is sporting a .254 on-base percentage and an elevated 30.3 percent strikeout rate with Tampa. I learned to not bet against Cruz a long time ago and I'm sure he'll
