MLB trade deadline 2016: Help us grade the trades

12:00 PM ET

Happy trade deadline day!

As each deal goes down, we’ll give you our report card — then ask you to vote on which team hit the jackpot and which team got the short (or at least shorter) end of the stick.

David Schoenfield has graded a few of the major deals that have already happened, and he’ll be adding to his report card as more trades occur. Below each one, there’s a poll for you to weigh in. So cast your ballots!
