and Jim Johnson and Rich Hill land jobs
- The Indians loss last night included an unfair bit of bad luck. CLE and CIN players were both in disbelief.
- Adam Dunn pitched the 9th inning of Chicago's 16-0 loss to Texas. He allowed a run on two hits and struck out nobody. BUT ADAM DUNN. PITCHED.
- Michael Bourn shows signs of improvement in rehab assignment with RubberDucks | Ohio.com
- SOO you want to be a Major League general manager? Here's what it's like to try to trade in August.
- One such deal took place yesterday: The Nationals acquired Matt Thornton from the Yankees.
- Entering last night's game, Carlos Santana and Yan Gomes were 1st and 4th respectively in MLB in WAR over the past 30 days.
- The Marlins surprisingly DFA'd Jacob Turner. If there was ever a guy we should buy low on, this is it. Turner was the headliner of the package Miami received for Anibal Sanchez and Omar Infante. Turner is two years removed from an ERA+ of 122 and one year removed from a 103. You may remember this game that he pitched against us last year.
- And finally... bahahahahahahaha (x2)!
The @Tigers agree to Minor League contract with RHP Jim Johnson.
