Deadline: B-. thats just above average they got a (hopefully) high end reliever and didn't have to give up a prospect.
That being said, this thread misses the point, if you throw in Vaughn and Priester, its an A. If the brewers wanted to get a pitcher with 5 years of control and has won 9 straight decisions, the price would be enormous. Vaughn also would have cost way more than Civale. The trade deadline is just a day.
