Tuesday brought some big news on the trade front, something that we don’t always see in August. The Nationals reportedly put a few of their star players on the waiver wire now that we’re nearing the end of the month, which included Bryce Harper, who was claimed and then pulled back without a deal.
Another big name did move though, as Daniel Murphy was shipped to the Chicago Cubs. The Cubbies put a claim in on the veteran infielder, and it was a little surprising that he slipped all the way to them in the process.
