Indians trade for Mets' Bruce to bolster outfield

absolute steal

Yanks offered better prospects but didn't wanna eat the whole 4 million

This is the old Mets, on a mission to improve every team competing with the Yankees, at the cost of making their own franchise worse

I'm surprised people aren't happier that the Royals are fading faster than Dark Tower movie hype.

Neither, keep DHing Headley

They know Holliday is done, it's why they were in on Bruce

Mariners move into the 2nd wild card spot, a full game ahead of KC and Tampa. Looking to end the 2nd longest active playoff drought in the Big 4 sports.

Red Sox last night became the first team since 1972 (Dodgers vs Giants) to score at least 8 runs while driving in 3 or fewer. Scored on 2 errors, 2 wild pitches, and 1 passed ball.
