Baltimore Orioles Traded 1B Derrek Lee to Pittsburgh Pirates and Bradenton Marauders Traded 1B Aaron Baker to Frederick Keys. Baker was a minor leaguer at the time. Corrected against Baseball-Reference — MLB’s log left part of this deal out.

Trades made between 2011-07-17 and 2011-08-03 — the two weeks leading into the 2011deadline, plus the days right after for late-posted completions. The deadline itself moves: it sat at a fixed July 31, 4 p.m. ET for decades, and the 2022 CBA both pushed the cutoff to 6 p.m. ET and let the league float the date anywhere from July 28 to Aug. 3. Sourced from MLB’s official transaction log, which carries trade records back to 2009; where MLB logged only one side of a deal, that’s noted on the card.
