Did they get anything in return for Renda or Jagielo?

Cash for both.

There's three days before the final trade deadline. Still time for Joey Bats to finish the NL East cycle.

Scherzer vs. Nola again in Philadelphia tonight. No runs yet with two out in the top of the fourth.

And deGrom getting started at Wrigley tonight.

Odubel just changed that even after he looked awful missing on a 2-1 curve.

Nice job by the Reds front office. They ended up with nothing for Aroldis Chapman

Reds Outright Rookie Davis

Davis, 25, underwent hip surgery last October and has been on the disabled list all season as he recovered from that procedure. The right-hander was one of the four players Cincinnati acquired for Aroldis Chapman in the 2015-16 offseason. None of the other three — Eric Jagielo (Marlins), Tony Renda (Red Sox) or Caleb Cotham(retired) — are with the organization any longer.

And remember. The Yankees flipped him for Gleyber Torres. And then got Chapman back.

If the Yankees won a title in the next couple of years, these two trades will be written about in baseball history books for decades to come.

If the vote was today, is it deGrom for Cy Young? I think so.

The greatest offseason any team has had in years seems to be going to waste for the Pirates. They are falling apart, dropping four games below .500 tonight.

Remember when everybody thought trading for Chris Archer was perfect because he would help down the stretch and he had a reasonable contract going forward? He has been terrible with a 6.45 ERA in five starts as a Pirate. The team paid too high a price in talent because they wanted a solid starter with an affordable contract. Sadly, he isn't managing the solid starter part.

And of course, the Mets still couldn't manage a win, at least not tonight.

I don't think it's that close.

I saw that WAR has Nola ahead. I ashume it's because he pitches in a bandbox.
