Just came across this:

Do tell what you know.

But, but, but...he is the next Jaden Ivey!

I think the Yankees have some issues.

Castillo beats Cole. Winker and Suarez go yard.

Statement win. Upset win. Hell, I just want a f'in' win.

Loser: Orioles fans The Orioles went 16-9 in July and it was their best, most exciting month in more than half a decade. The team is on the rise and they play very hard, and going into deadline day, they were only 2 1/2 games behind the third and final American League wild card spot. Maybe buying aggressively would have been a bad idea. But selling? Selling??? With his team playing its best baseball in years, GM Mike Elias threw in the towel. Here's what Elias told reporters, including MLB.com, after trading away homegrown favorite and feel-great story Trey Mancini. All-Star closer Jorge López was later traded away as well: To be clear, "strengthen our chances for next season" involved trading for a pitching prospect about to have Tommy John surgery (Seth Johnson), two Single-A prospects (Chayce McDermott and Cade Povich), and two rookie ball prospects (Juan Rojas and Juan Nunez). One player in the Mancini and Lopez trades, 28-year-old rookie reliever Yennier Cano, has a chance to help the 2023 Orioles in a meaningful way. Elias punted 2022 to (maybe) help the 2024 Orioles. The third wild card spot was supposed to increase competition (or so we were told) and yet here is an on-the-rise Orioles team trading away its best players at a time when every win added to the roster is enormously valuable. Not everything in this game is an asset that must be micromanaged and leveraged to the fullest extent at all times. It's baseball, not an actuarial table. There are human beings involved, and rather than further encourage the good vibes, the O's front office snuffed them out. "I mean, just, it sucks," Ryan Mountcastle told MLB.com after the Mancini trade. " … It's going to be tough without him. And I know a lot of us are pretty upset." Maybe it'll all work out and the 2022 Orioles will win without Mancini and López, and the 2023 Orioles without López. I still feel for Orioles fans. The team is good and fun for the first time in a long time, and rather than try to take a step forward, the front office is again taking a step back. The franchise's short-term future, which is looking up for the first time in years, was again sacrificed at the altar of improved margins. There's a fine line between being cold and calculating, and disenfranchising your fans.

Walt Jocketty. Is that you?

NL Central.

Bernie Carbo off the top of my head.

But no Mahle. Thank God.

Interesting that the White Sox and Cleveland stood pat while the Twins were making moves.

Ken Rosenthal @Ken_Rosenthal · 1m Cubs NOT trading Contreras and Happ, source tells @TheAthletic

#Reds getting Spencer Steer, Christian Encarncion-Strand, and Steven Hajjar

Seeing reports that Mahle just got dealt.

Haven't the Marlins done it twice?

Stats By STATS @StatsBySTATS · 18m Hunter Greene of the @Reds is the only MLB rookie in the modern era to have 3 games in which he threw 6.0+ innings with 8+ strikeouts and no more than 1 hit allowed (May 15, June 6 & today). No pitcher in the modern era (rookie or not) has had more than 3 such games in a season.

Michigan has Colorado St., Hawaii, and UConn...all at home.

Ken Rosenthal @Ken_Rosenthal · 8m The Reds have traded outfielder Tommy Pham, source tells @TheAthletic . Team not yet known.

Knowing the Cubs "luck", Effross is going to be the next Dan Quisinberry.
