Let's take a look at every deal made on MLB's trade-deadline day

Overall, the 2015 trade deadline was completely bonkers. Troy Tulowitzki and Jose Reyes were traded for each other, Johnny Cueto turned the Royals into an unstoppable force and Carlos Gomez was shipped to Houston after some initial confusion. The Cole Hamels trade finally happened and David Price was dealt again too.

All of those moves were made prior to the actual deadline day. While some major names were still floating around Friday, only a few big moves were made. That shouldn't lessen our enjoyment of the deadline, but it was a bit of a let down compared to the last week or so. The focus Friday seemed to be on relief pitchers, with teams maneuvering for that last piece to help them down the stretch.

METS MAKE THEIR MOVE, PICK UP YOENIS CESPEDES


It happened. The Mets finally made their move. Cespedes will head to New York for minor-league pitchers Michael Fulmer and Luis Cessa. After a couple days of trying, the Mets found a way to pick up a nice bat. Cespedes helps the club's abysmal offense immediately. Fulmer is considered a nice return for a rental player, so it looks like both teams did well. [More]

BLUE JAYS PICK UP BEN REVERE
The Jays struck again at the deadline, landing Ben Revere from the Phillies. In return, the Phillies will receive pitchers Jimmy Cordero and Alberto Tirado. Revere is under team control through 2017, so he could stick around longer than this season. He should give the Jays some speed, and can provide adequate defense. He's definitely a defensive upgrade over some of the guys the Jays have thrown out there this season. [More]

TWINS GET SOME RELIEF
The Minnesota Twins had remained quiet until Friday, but were finally able to make a deal. The team solidified its bullpen, adding Kevin Jepsen from the Rays. In return, Tampa will receive pitchers Chih-Wei Hu and Alexis Tapia. Jepsen's 2.81 ERA is solid on the surface, but walks are an issue. The Rays are believed to have gotten a nice return, particularly with Hu. [More]

CUBS UPGRADE ROTATION WITH DAN HAREN
The Chicago Cubs were mostly quiet at the deadline, but managed to add Dan Haren from the Marlins. The Marlins are set to receive shortstop Elliot Soto and pitcher Ivan Pineyro. Haren should slot in at the back-end of the team's rotation. He's a free-agent at the end of the season, so the move is nothing more than a rental. Haren has been solid this season, but home runs have been a problem. That's something to watch out for in his new park. [More]

JAYS AT IT AGAIN
The Revere trade wasn't all the Blue Jays did. The club also dealt for reliever Mark Lowe from the Mariners. Seattle will receive Nick Wells, Jacob Brentz and Rob Rasmussen. None of those three are considered top flight prospects, but Lowe has impressive this season and can help Toronto's shaky pen. [More]

CARDINALS GET BROXTON
The Cardinals didn't make any big moves Friday, but still jumped into the fray. The team picked up Brewers reliever Jonathan Broxton. Broxton's 5.89 ERA is awful, but he's shown solid peripherals this season. He's also been much better against righties. If used properly, he could turn into a nice addition for St. Louis. The Brewers received 20-year-old outfielder Malik Collymore for Broxton. [More]

BALTIMORE GETS PARRA
The Orioles made a modest upgrade Friday, dealing for Gerardo Parra of the Brewers. Milwaukee received pitcher Zach Davies in return for Parra. Parra is having a huge season on offense, and has generally been regarded as a strong defensive player. He should help the Orioles stay in the AL East race. [More]

PIRATES GET ROTATION HELP
The Pirates snagged J.A. Happ from the Mariners in a last-minute deal. Happ's numbers have been underwhelming in Seattle, but a switch to the National League should help a bit. The Pirates have had success turning around pitchers in the past, so that's something to watch for. The Mariners will get pitcher Adrian Sampson in return for Happ. [More]

CUBS GET A HUNTER


The Cubs improved their bullpen Friday, grabbing Tommy Hunter from the Orioles. In return, Baltimore receives outfielder Junior Lake. Hunter should help a Cubs pen that has been shaky in the mid innings. Lake will likely provide depth with the Orioles. [More]

RANGERS SHORE UP PEN
The Texas Rangers made a minor deal, picking up relief pitcher Sam Dyson from the Marlins. Miami receives catcher Tomas Telis and pitcher Cody Ege in return. Dyson should help a bullpen that ranks last in baseball with a 4.68 ERA. Telis is expected to back up J.T. Realmuto in Miami. [More]

PADRES WIND UP BUYING
The Padres didn't sell off pieces like everyone expected. Instead, the team actually added at the deadline. Indians left-hander Marc Rzepczyski will head to San Diego in exchange for Abraham Almonte. Rzepczyski's 4.43 ERA is nothing special, but his peripherals indicate he could be much better down the stretch. [More]

RED SOX COOK UP A RELIEVER
The Red Sox made a small move Friday, grabbing reliever Ryan Cook from the Athletics. Cook has mainly been used in the minors this season, but should see time in the majors with Boston. The Athletics will get a player to be named later. [More]

MORSE MOVES ON
The Pirates were able to get an upgrade at first base, trading for the recently DFA'd Michael Morse. The Dodgers will receive outfielder Jose Tabata in return. Morse has struggled to hit for average this season, but can usually provide strong pop. He should fill in at first and possibly in the outfield with Pittsburgh. [More]

A'S GET DOUBRONT
The Athletics picked up Felix Doubront from the Blue Jays for cash considerations. Doubront has solid numbers in the minors, but hasn't performed well in the majors over the past few seasons. He's nothing more than pitching depth at this point. [More]
