Good morning baseball fans! Yes, the non-waiver trade deadline is behind us, but there are still deals to be made by the end of the waiver deadline this month. Stay tuned to MLBDD for the latest.
- Here’s the latest from around the American League Central.
- The Mariners have made multiple attempts to acquire Twins ace Ervin Santana. Could a deal still go down?
- Giancarlo Stanton has cleared trade waivers and is eligible to be traded to any team.
- Aaron Judge, Aaron Hicks, and Gary Sanchez hit their 40th career home runs in the same game. The stars always seem to align during the Subway Series.
- Here are the teams that wish they could have done things differently at the MLB trade deadline.
- The Blue Jays have signed Brett Anderson to a minor-league deal.
- The Astros and Tigers are ‘still apart’ in Verlander trade talks. They better speed it up then.
- Bryce Harper has but a “mere bone bruise” and will likely play again this season because he is pretty unstoppable.
- Marco Estrada has been claimed off of waivers by AL East team. A deal is unlikely. My money is on the Orioles being behind this.
- Chad Bettis returned to baseball after cancer and the Rockies played the perfect song for the occasion. Also, everyone in America should own a Chad Bettis jersey.
- The Athletics have acquired Chris Hatcher.
- Byron Buxton laid out for this spectacularly impossible catch.
- The Rangers will hand out tiny on-deck circles in honor of Adrian Beltre’s antics, so time to put in for vacation time because you really need to be at this game.
- Here’s a look back at what the Rockies did at the trade deadline.
