10 deadline day blockbusters from the last decade

Deadline day invites craziness. Every year, one team decides to go all in in the pursuit of October glory. These mega-deals changed the fate of entire franchises, for better and for worse, while the impact of some of these trades wasn't felt until years afterwards.

With just days until the 2016 trade deadline, let's take a look back at 10 deadline day blockbusters from the past 10 years.

2015:

New York Mets acquire: Yoenis Cespedes
Detroit Tigers acquire: Michael Fulmer, Luis Cessa

The Mets needed offense badly, so they dipped into their excess of talented young pitchers - something the Tigers needed badly - to grab the eccentric Cuban slugger.

Who won the trade? Both teams. The Mets retained Cespedes over the winter, while Fulmer's emerged as the Tigers' future (and arguably current) ace with a stellar rookie season. Cessa was traded over the winter for Justin Wilson, who's become a key member of the Tigers' bullpen.

2014:

Detroit Tigers acquire: David Price
Seattle Mariners acquire: Austin Jackson
Tampa Bay Rays acquire: Drew Smyly, Willy Adames, Nick Franklin

The Rays had to get something for Price before he reached free agency, so they orchestrated this three-team trade. Detroit gave up a lot to get him, including its starting center fielder, while the Mariners jumped in to try to boost their own playoff chances.

Who won the trade? Rays. Smyly's now on the trading block, Franklin's a big-league contributor, and Adames is a top young prospect. The Mariners DFA'd Jackson last August, while the Tigers cashed out on Price in July 2015 and got far less from Toronto in return.

Oakland Athletics acquire: Jon Lester, Jonny Gomes
Boston Red Sox acquire: Yoenis Cespedes

Going for the jugular after acquiring Jeff Samardzija earlier in the month, Billy Beane shocked the baseball world by grabbing Lester and Gomes from the Red Sox for Cespedes, a key part of their offense. Both players were strict rentals.

Who won the trade? Red Sox. Lester pitched well but the A's missed Cespedes terribly, ultimately coughing up a division lead and losing the wild-card game; the changed compensation rules also meant the A's got nothing when Lester left as a free agent. Cespedes spent just two months in Boston but they flipped him for Rick Porcello that winter, and he's now a huge part of the Red Sox rotation.

2012:

San Francisco Giants acquire: Hunter Pence
Philadelphia Phillies acquire: Nate Schierholtz, Seth Rosin, Tommy Joseph

The Phillies swung for the fences in July 2011 when they grabbed Pence from Houston; a year later, they were suddenly sellers and rebuilding on the fly. Pence was sent to the Bay Area for a package of three prospects.

Who won the trade? Giants. Only Joseph remains with the Phillies, and he's not having a productive season. Pence became a star in San Francisco, helping the Giants win the 2012 World Series before re-signing that winter and winning another title in 2014.

2010:

St. Louis Cardinals acquire: Jake Westbrook, Nick Greenwood
San Diego Padres acquire: Ryan Ludwick
Cleveland Indians acquire: Corey Kluber

The Cardinals and Padres were both in playoff races, and the Indians were not. Westbrook was a hot commodity at that time while Ludwick was having one of his best seasons.

Who won the trade? Indians, eventually. Ludwick was no help to the Padres, who collapsed and lost the NL West to San Francisco on the last day of the season. Westbrook was coming off injury and couldn't vault the Cardinals into the playoffs. In 2014, Kluber came out of nowhere to win the AL Cy Young Award, and he remains a mainstay in the Indians' rotation.

2009:

Chicago White Sox acquire: Jake Peavy
San Diego Padres acquire: Aaron Poreda, Adam Russell, Clayton Richard, Dexter Carter

Looking to retool just two years after a division win, the Padres dealt their ace to the South Side, where the White Sox were 1 1/2 games out of first and looking for a second straight AL Central crown.

Who won the trade? White Sox, by default. San Diego could've done a lot better in a return for a former Cy Young winner, but Peavy had some injury issues during his White Sox career and never led them back to the playoffs. He did make an All-Star appearance for the Pale Hose, and at the 2013 deadline they turned him into Avisail Garcia.

Cincinnati Reds acquire: Scott Rolen
Toronto Blue Jays acquire: Edwin Encarnacion, Josh Roenicke, Zach Stewart

Rolen didn't like playing on the turf in Toronto and Cincinnati was closer to his home. The Reds would only give up Roenicke and Stewart, who the Blue Jays coveted, if they took Encarnacion - then an error-prone third baseman - and his salary off their hands.

Who won the trade? Blue Jays. Rolen won a final Gold Glove with the Reds and helped them reach the playoffs, but he was nearing the end of the line. While the two pitchers never panned out, that Encarnacion guy who was forced upon the Blue Jays sure did. He was DFA'd twice before eventually switching positions and becoming one of the most feared bats in the game today.

Cleveland Indians acquire: Bryan Price, Justin Masterson, Nick Hagadone
Boston Red Sox acquire: Victor Martinez

The Indians jump-started their rebuild in the summer of 2009, first dealing Cliff Lee to Philadelphia, then trading the All-Star Martinez to Boston on deadline day for a package of promising pitching talent.

Who won the trade? A wash for both sides. Masterson had a couple of decent seasons and made an All-Star team but never lived up to his full promise in Cleveland, while Hagadone and Price had forgettable big-league careers. Martinez played well in Boston for a year and two months before the Red Sox let him walk to Detroit as a free agent, where he's still mashing as a DH. The Red Sox did get Matt Barnes, who's now a member of their bullpen, with the compensation pick after Martinez signed with the Tigers.

2008:

Los Angeles Dodgers acquire: Manny Ramirez
Boston Red Sox acquire: Jason Bay
Pittsburgh Pirates acquire: Andy LaRoche, Bryan Morris, Craig Hansen, Brandon Moss

Despite his Hall of Fame-caliber statistics in Boston and a pair of championships, the Red Sox grew tired of Manny being Manny, and hastily arranged this blockbuster three-way trade that just barely made it in before the 4 p.m. ET deadline.

Who won the trade? Dodgers? Manny became an instant hit in Los Angeles and led the Dodgers to the playoffs ... until his positive drug test the following season. Bay proved to be an adequate enough replacement for Ramirez in Boston until he left the following winter. Of the players Pittsburgh received, only Brandon Moss panned out ... after he left Pittsburgh.

Atlanta Braves acquire: Mark Teixeira, Ron Mahay
Texas Rangers acquire: Beau Jones, Elvis Andrus, Jarrod Saltalamacchia, Matt Harrison, Neftali Feliz

Looking to hasten their rebuild, the Rangers dealt Teixeira to Atlanta, who was trying to return to the playoffs after a one-year absence, for a large package of young talent.

Who won the trade? Rangers. Of the five players they received, only Jones failed to make an impact. Andrus, a two-time All-Star, is still the Rangers' starting shortstop; Feliz was the closer for both of the Rangers' World Series teams; Harrison was a useful starter and a 2012 All-Star who was later turned into Cole Hamels; Saltalamacchia became a solid big-league catcher for several teams. The Braves missed the playoffs in 2008, then dealt Teixeira to the Angels the following July for pennies on the dollar. Without this deal, the Rangers don't win two straight AL pennants.
