What is the story about?
It’s
amazing what happens to a lineup when people aren’t constantly getting struck out with men on base and less than one out. I know the defense is going to be wonky, but the addition of Luis Arraez to the lineup is going to be great.
On to the links.
Phillies news:
- When Arraez gave his first interview with the Philly media, he talked about how thankful he was to be in a playoff race.
- With the new lineup and defensive alignment, the team was searching for a spark to carry them to October ($).
MLB news:
- Tuesday was a day for grading trades around the game, so let’s get you caught up. Here are the winners and losers as Fangraphs saw them.
- The Athletic saw some winners and losers at the deadline, as well as some snoozers ($). Seriously, what were the Reds doing, sleeping?
- Finally, the last set of grades from around the trade deadline. I promise, no more grades for trades.
- The Yankees called up their top prospect in George Lombard, Jr. Of course, he then homered in his first at bat.
