Updated Top 25 Trade Deadline Acquisitions Including Puig vs. Bauer - Astros 3rd Ace in Greinke

We updated the top 25 pickups in the final week leading up to the trade deadline. These ratings are based purely on how good the projected Statis-Pro card was for the player is for the player and how much it upgraded the team (all player cards here and updated by current team). We look forward to the match-up of two of the biggest pickups when the Reds' Bauer faces the Indians' Puig in a game scheduled in our season (see grid of all games here, including NL Central vs. AL Central teams).
