Orioles acquired OF Alejandro De Aza from the White Sox for RHPs Miguel Chalas and Mark Blackmar. I would have taken an 8 lb. sack of potatoes for De Aza. Two marginally decent pitching prospects for him? Santino, you know what to do...and bring some friends. This is a big day on the South Side...

Adam Dunn is apparently close to being traded to the Athletics with the Giants still in pursuit.

The Os - needing to fill the void left by Manny Machado's injury - decided to trade for Kelly Johnson
Johnson now has played for all 5 AL East teams - 3 of them this year

Replacing Manny Machado with Kelly Johnson? Yikes.

A.J. Burnett coughed up five earned runs in six innings Sunday as the Phillies fell to the Mets.

Jose Altuve went 4-for-5 and came through with the game-winning RBI as the Astros edged the Rangers 3-2 on Sunday.

Cespedes-for-Lester is going to haunt Oakland for decades.
Biggest backfire trade in eons.

Adam Dunn is apparently close to being traded to the Athletics with the Giants still in pursuit. Dunn was sent to Oakland for Class A pitcher Nolan Sanburn. Adam also revealed yesterday that 2014 is his last season. In other news, the White Sox outrighted Nestor Molina to Double A Birmingham, making the 40-man roster sit at 39. Carlos Rodon, the #3 overall pick this year, is rumored heavily to fill that spot.

Story is that Porter and the front office were at major odds.

Only took until September 1st but finally the Cardinals are in sole possession of 1st place.

Story is that Porter and the front office were at major odds. Bo Porter, I believe was a bench coach and/or 3rd base coach for the Nats. The story up here was it would be Bo's job once Davey Johnson retired. My memory may be fuzzy but when the Nats got eliminated by the Cardinals in the 2012 playoffs, most assumed Davey was going to retire and Bo was the favorite for the job. Davey came back, Bo took the Houston job. And now Matt Williams is the Nats' manager. I don't fault any guy trying to get a major league gig, there's only 30 of them, but if Bo had waited he could have taken over a first place team. Anyway, I disagree with the statement that the Lester-Cespedes trade would haunt the A's. They still have a shot at the division, but if they lose that play in game, then yeah...I don't know what else Billy Beane can do to get that team into the World Series. Maybe he made 1 trade too much.

The Red Sox are tuning up the Yankees in the Bronx tonight.
I mean, both teams suck and are going nowhere this season, but hey, it's something.

Looks like Houston got this one down. Believe down to 2 wins to avoid 100 losses

Looks like Houston got this one down. Believe down to 2 wins to avoid 100 losses 3. 2 can still end at 62-100. Speaking of the Astros @astros: Only players in AL history with 189 hits, 49 steals and 37 doubles in single season. @josealtuve27, George Sisler, Ty Cobb,Tris Speaker
