Mostly because fans can dream of a fresh start. Or new opportunities. Whether that’s a raised ceiling or the start of a rebuild, the trade deadline offers many teams the chance to pivot midway through the season.

Heading into the trade deadline, we explore eight deals that make too much sense not to happen in the next couple of days.
