Trades & Trade Rumors:
- The Yankees traded for Jaime Garcia...
- The Yankees and A’s seem to be engaged in a game of chicken more akin to three-dimensional chess...
Garcia deal does NOT take the Yankees out of the mix for Gray. In fact, source says they remain the favorites.

Despite my mathematical ineptitude re: Severino, fact remains that Montgomery faces a potential innings issue. So Gray still makes sense.

A six-man rotation is also an intriguing possibility given how much better Tanaka has pitched with extra rest. Plus CC's age/health.

Best time table for a Sonny Gray trade appears to be close to deadline at this point If someone blinks it probably will be with hour to go

#Athletics ask for Sonny Gray steep & they are not afraid to “HOLD” if they don’t get what they want…can always pivot & trade in off-season

- As of now, the Brewers are out...
#Brewers were told "Brinson or bust" on Oakland's Sonny Gray. They chose "bust."

- Alex Hall looks back on Melvin’s career...

Best of Twitter:
- Was Yu Darvish tipping his pitches against the Marlins?
Dovetails with what I've been told since posting tweets. Darvish and some scouts saw it. Other orgs looked into it, said they saw nothing. https://t.co/ho6Cn2CjAG
