With the majority of MLB transactions filed and official with the office of the commissioner in New York and the trade deadline — without waivers — passing at 4 p.m. on Tuesday, the final-day trade count stood at 13, involving many big names and leaving a handful of winners among the post-season contenders. The unofficial trade count for the two weeks prior to the deadline showed 40 major-league deals. Longtime Twins second baseman Brian Dozier is a Dodger after Tuesday’s trade deadline, where many of MLB’s rich got richer. The Pirates made bold moves even though they are 31/2 games behind the second NL wild card. In the infield, they traded for Royals third baseman Mike Moustakas and surging O’s second baseman Jonathan Schoop.
