MLB Teams That Blew It at the 2015 Waiver Trade Deadline

The 2015 MLB waiver trade deadline provided contending clubs with a last chance to find the elusive missing pieces they need.

Some teams made great use of the opportunity. The Texas Rangers snagged Mike Napoli, and the San Francisco Giants grabbed Marlon Byrd and Alejandro De Aza, per Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports.

But not everyone got it right at the deadline, as October hopefuls like the Los Angeles Angels and the Los Angeles Dodgers were among the clubs that swung and missed.

And it wasn't just teams in the postseason mix that blew it at the waiver deadline. There were also underachievers like the San Diego Padres, who missed out on the opportunity to cash in on some prominent chips on the August trade block.
