The Philadelphia Phillies added Kyle Gibson to their rotation and Ian Kennedy to their bullpen in a deal with the Texas Rangers.
The Philadelphia Phillies are in the unenviable position of being caught in the middle. The New York Mets lead the East and the Atlanta Braves just traded for Joc Pederson to replace their injured superstar Ronlad Acuna Jr. What will the Phillies do?
The Rangers are clear sellers, though their level of aggressiveness remains unclear. While it would be wise to trade any player above the age of 30 with an expiring contract, Texas does have to field a team and also doesn’t want to allow itself to get fleeced. Thus, make no mistake: the Rangers are more than comfortable with sitting pat if they so desire.
Although they rank third in their division, the Padres have an impressive 55-41 record, giving them the second Wild Card spot. How might they approach the upcoming July 30 trade deadline?
The Cleveland Indians were able to sweep the Kansas City Royals entering the All-Star break. The problem is, they were riding a nine-game losing streak and fell to eight games back of the Chicago White Sox for the AL Central lead.
In mid-May, the Angels cut Albert Pujols and lost perennial MVP candidate Mike Trout to injury. They have responded by playing winning baseball since

The starting rotation has been the identity of the Cleveland Indians for the majority of the Tito Francona era. However, they finally have a serious problem with talent and depth in their rotation and it needs to be fixed immediately.
Wave to me if you need help. Sifting the waiver wire is always fun. That is, unless you’re off to a horrible start and your team needs a boatload of work. In that case, waivers are a necessity. However, we should always be looking at ways to improve our team, even if we’re in a good spot.
Welcome to another week of baseball as we are still standing going into the third full week of this very
Two days after the Atlanta Braves joined the 80-win club, the Minnesota Twins join the party. In Atlanta, there seems to be doubt as far as the pitching goes. In Minnesota, fans and broadcasters (like Jenny Taft, Jamie Hersch, Marney Gellner, Dawn Mitchell, Jamie Erdahl, and Kevin Gorg,) are simply excited that this season has exceeded expectations. Of course, this is said on one condition. Our @jball0202 expects championships in Minnesota, and nothing else (maybe championship-style writing from me? I do my best.)
