Between games the O's traded Seranthony Dominguez to the Jays for a prospect. I guess that makes the trip to his new team a short one, lol.

Both players traded only had to walk across clubhouse tonight

Ke'Bryan Hayes to the Reds, for a rental reliever and a single A prospect.

Fuck Ben Cherington. Fuck Bob Nutting. The forever rebuild grinds on.

I mean, you'll come to hate watching him at the plate as much as we do. Unless of course if you have an actual batting coach who can fix him. But he's the best defensive 3B, and he at least has the potential to be ok at the plate.

I wasn't expecting to get a huge return for him. But anything less than a AAA bat is criminal negligence.

Not that the Buccos are actually competitive this year, but was there really no team outside of their division that offered something better? A gg caliber 3B who isn't a bat still has plenty of value to a team trying to compete for a pennant, and I feel like you could have gotten something better for him than an aging (but admittedly effective) reliever and a raw prospect.

It's most likely because the Pirates are cheap and he hasn't hit well at all since he signed the contract, so they found someone that would take the remaining 4 years and ~$40 million

But yeah, Kwan being gone will theoretically make Cleveland worse in the immediate future but they're one of those teams that never seems to hit rock bottom. That's fine, but I need them to be less competitive for a year or two while KC figures out what it wants to do. K thx bye!

(Just my luck though, he'll end up in Detroit )

Bednar to the Yankees for another underwhelming return. A 2.5A catcher and a couple single A lottery ticket prospects.

Ben Cherington's entire career should be riding on his performance today, and this is the shit we're getting.

Bailey Falter to the Royals for a AAA pitcher and a single A prospect. I'm starting to sound like a broken mp3.

As speculated, the rental reliever from the Reds got flipped, to the Cubs, for (you guessed it) a single A prospect.

None of the rentals we already had seem to be moving on. So I guess it can get worse than trading for single A prospects after all.

Kill me.

Reds acquire OF Miguel Andujar. Doesn't help with power hitting but he's fantastic against lefties. So long Conner Joe!

Not a flashy deadline but but could have been worse. Could have been better.

It's crazy how a nearly 35 year old corner OF with mediocre stats on the season will automatically be the Royals' best outfielder.

They traded their better defensive catcher for younger pitching and have acquired older dudes Yastrsemzki, Adam Frazier (again), and Randal Grichuk, all of whom are improvements over the absolutely abysmal OF bats that KC's had for most of the season (with only CF Kyle Isbel contributing anything defensively). It would be kind of funny if they can sneak their way into a wildcard spot but I don't see it with depleted pitching and a lineup that doesn't really have a "big" bat. (Witt is more of a table setter).

After possibly the worst deadline day of any team, ever, of course the Bucs start their next game with 9 runs off 10 hits and 2 walks (14 to the plate) in the first.

They're in Colorado

Back to .500! Hope it sticks for a while.

Saw a crazy stat during the game tonight. Through the first 85 games of the season (March-June), the Royals hit 58 HRs as a team. In July, they hit 34, which was 4th in MLB for the month. Starting off August like they did July with 4 tonight (Witt, Perez, Frazier, and getting it started in his first KC Royals AB, Mike Yastrzemski).

They are at the start of a hellmurder stretch of games, so sneaking what you can away from these legitimately contending teams is always welcome.
