Tuesday Afterschool Special: Hi and Bye
Summing up the wild MLB trade deadline
'Twas an odd trade deadline yesterday. The Chicago Cubs, the best team in the MLB, made moves to get even better by adding closer Aroldis Chapman earlier this month. The Cleveland Indians did the same, adding relief pitcher Andrew Miller. In order for both of those things to happen, the Yankees needed to shock the world by doing the opposite of what they've always done: Getting rid of players rather than adding them. The Yanks have now dealt away three veterans in Miller, Chapman, and Carlos Beltran in exchange for some of the best minor-league prospects in the game.
Those are the winners. The losers? Yasiel Puig, probably. He is expected to be sent to the minors after the Dodgers traded for Josh Reddick and Rich Hill. His career with Los Angeles might be over, but he'll find a new home thanks to his arm:
