If I may concentrate on baseball as a whole for a moment, the trade deadline was definitely bonkers to watch. Seriously, Chris Archer was traded to the Pirates. THE PIRATES! Bryce Harper will remain in Washington D.C. for at least two-to-three months following a confusing back-and-forth from the Nationals. The Orioles continued to tear it down while the Dodgers and Yankees helped their cause. Somehow, the Brewers didn’t acquire a starting pitcher. Cole Hamels is now a Cub. I would mention something about the Mets, but I’ll be nice today.
With the Astros, well, everyone is already familiar with the controversial trade for Roberto Osuna on Monday.
