I agree with you about the abrupt ending but I think it's because the article was adapted from an upcoming book ("The Greatest Trade Ever" by Gregory Zuckerman). Weird editing, but maybe the purpose was to make it abrupt enough that people who want to go get the book to figure out what happens next.
