About This Quiz

Batter up!

Baseball is one of the most watched sports in America, and Major League Baseball is followed by millions, not only in the United States but around the world.

And players come from far and wide to try to make the major leagues, not an easy task as the talent on hand is simply incredible. 

Each year Major League Baseball franchises trade players, always looking to upgrade their player rosters, or sometimes even needing to desperately cut back on their wage bills. 

It's a cat and mouse game, but in the end, it's all about getting a squad together that can go and fight for baseball's ultimate prize - the World Series.

And before the start of the 2018 season, the trades have flown thick and fast!
