Trade deadline today at 4 p.m. Noah Syndergaard, Trevor Bauer and Madison Bumgarner may be on the move. In addition, sources tell Stitches a trade deal between President Trump and China is dead. Rand Paul wants to send Ilhan Omar to Somalia for “future considerations.” And Iggy Azalea, who was charged $64 for a grilled cheese sandwich, wants to send it back to the kitchen.
Revisiting the Reds, who won for us Monday night, courtesy of a 10-run inning. Pirates are still in Cincinnati and Dario Agrazal gets another start for the free-falling Bucs. The 24-year-old sinkerballer has been enjoying a solid rookie season. But last week that juggernaut lineup over in Flushing pounded him for five runs over five innings. Luis Castillo of the Reds let us down in his last start. He was KO’d by the Rockies after they put six on the board in the same five innings. Better chance Castillo rebounds. 20 units on the Reds.
Amazin! White Sox scored a run off Edwin Diaz in the bottom of the 9th to tie it at 2. But Jeff McNeil and Michael Conforto hit back-to-back bombs in the 11th and the Mets won 5-2. Syndergaard, super, allowing one run, unearned, over 7 ¹/₃. Account at -667 boswells.
