It won't matter. The central is trash, ChiSox should be able to win the division with their triple A squad.Sheesh, White Sox lose another player to injury. This time it's Grandal, out for probably a month or more. Thank goodness the Indians aren't able to make up any ground lately. Hopefully Jimenez and Robert come back in the next few weeks.
Agree with it being a stupid pick.What were the Royals doing last night in the draft. Mozzicato has good stuff, but there were so many better players. Rocker would have been pitching for them by the trade deadline next year. House might be the next Trevor Story. Stupid, stupid pick.
Braves need arms so Cusick and Schwellenbach could help their bullpen in a few years. If Cusick gets a reliable second pitch and hones in his fastball accuracy, he very well could be a closer. I don’t see him being a starter in the bigs. It will be interesting to see how they use Schwellenbach. He has three plus pitches so I want him on the mound. But man, his exit velocity is really good.Schwellenbach to the Braves. Happy as a Husker fan and happy as a Braves fan.

Wow, the Nats just blew up their roster! Makes me ill that they sold their soul to the devil (Dodgers).
And this right after Washington choked away a 7-0 lead over the Phillies.
Brutal, brutal day to be a Nationals fan.
Go Phillies! That was Philadelphia's second game with a walk off homer this week!
I’m sure the Nationals fans are hurting, but that’s a textbook step one rebuild right there. Rizzo’s first rebuild netted them 10 years of contention baseball and a World Series title…that doesn’t always happen. They sold their entire farm system to get it. I hate that the loaded Dodgers got Scherzer AND Turner, it’s stupid how loaded they are. But Keibert Ruiz and Josiah Gray are a hell of a haul all things considered. Those two along with Mason Thompson, Brady House, and all of the young arm talent they have collected in the last 3 drafts will set them up for success 2 years from now…in theory of course.
I thought the Cubs handled the trade deadline well, too. As a Phillies fan, I’m sure you are happy that the Mets sold their future for a rental and a likely sweep by Buehler/Kershaw/Scherzer and company.
The Brewers have played 60 guys this season ... remarkable considering the 40 man roster.Sheesh, White Sox lose another player to injury. This time it's Grandal, out for probably a month or more.

IMO the Nationals did better in their fire sale then the Cubs did.
