1:45pm: San Diego and Chicago are primarily working directly together on a deal, tweetsNightengale, who says that they may not need the involvement of a third team to swing a major deal.
- That deescalated quickly.
Who knows what will happen, but rumors are pointing towards Ben pursuing Carrasco and Tyson Ross right now. Hopefully something happens today even if this season can't be salvaged.
We'll see what crackpot moves come at the deadline and see if this team even has any type of chance at all this year. I'm thinking we'll be underwhelmed by Cherington's moves, and end the season in the basement once again. Maybe they'll use that draft pick wisely.
I really don't want to see worst to first to worst to worst, but it's starting to look that way. Hopefully with two lefties going the next couple games we can keep the Yankees in check and get some offense going. If we win the next two games that's only 4.5 back from the top.
