Are the Diamondbacks and Mariners already tanking on purpose? Why else would Paul Goldschmidt get shipped off to St. Louis? The Nationals say thanks for Patrick Corbin, BTW. Jean Segura’s trip to the Phillies nails the Seattle coffin shut. It’s too early for this nonsense. The word of the day is “waivers.” Pottymouth turns down Brandon Dixon for the second straight week, picking Christin Gaylin Harris Stewart as her Tigers BF. She then replaces Brandon Crawford with Brandon Belt on her Giants dance card. Are you seeing this?

And Cubs manager Joe Maddon says some of the right things about Addison Russell and teams taking blame and responsibility as well as credit for the actions of their players. We reflect on the tragic loss of Luis Valbuena & Jose Castillo.
