The MLB trade deadline just ended on July 31st with teams looking to make a late run towards October.

Teams like the Los Angeles Dodgers, New York Yankees, Texas Rangers and New York Mets all made serious rosters changes.

The Los Angeles Dodgers

The Dodgers received P Rich Hill and outfielder Josh Reddick from the Oakland Athletics. Reddick tweeted about his excitement on social media:

Can't wait to start my journey in Dodger blue!!! Let's win a pennant race! .@BMcCarthy32 I need a profile pic.

The Dodgers traded P Mike Bolsinger to the Toronto Blue Jays for P Jesse Chavez and cash. Prospect 1b Yordan Alvarez was sent to Houston while RHP Jharel Cotton, RHP Grant Holmes and RHP Frankie Montas were shipped to Oakland.

The New York Yankees

The Yankees traded RHP Ben Heller, CF Clint Frazier, RHP J.P. Feyereisen, and LHP Justus Sheffield to the Cleveland Indians for LHP Andrew Miller. They also traded RHP Vicente Campos for RHP Tyler Clipart from Arizona.

Arguably the biggest trade the Yankees negotiated involved sending OF Carlos Beltran to the Texas Rangers for RHP Nick Green, RHP Erik Swanson, RHP Dillon Tate and cash.

Green expressed his excitement on Twitter:

The Texas Rangers

The Rangers added P Jonathan Lucroy from the Milwaukee Brewers while shedding former all-star and slugger Prince Fielder, who’s been on the decline in recent years. Lucroy voiced his excitement on Twitter:

Now, moving on to the @Rangers let's take this bad boy to the 'ship! Really excited and can't wait to get after it!

Finally, the Mets added slugger Jay Bruce for INF Dilson Herrera and LHP Max Wotell. Bruce is having a solid year and hopes to add to a potential late post season run by the Mets. The Mets organization posted this photo on their official Twitter page:
