Isbel is a useful player to have on a roster, but he's proving he can't be counted on to help the offense. You want him tracking down balls in center field, but not in starts against left-handed pitchers, and possibily in more of a full-time bench role someday soon.

The 35-year-old made his first All-Star Game and won his first Gold Glove last season, and rumors surfaced of several contenders interested in him ahead of Thursday’s deadline.

There was plenty of speculation that the Kansas City Royals would trade Seth Lugo before the deadline, but the star ace isn't going anywhere this season.
