Around the league...
- Our very own John Trupin wrote at The Hardball Times about his experience in Cooperstown.
- Well, this confirms our suspicions from yesterday.
The commotion inside the #Bluejays clubhouse on Sunday was indeed caused by outgoing Marcus Stroman, sources confirm. Word is his initial reaction to trade was not pretty. #Bluejays.

- Trade season continues!
Right-hander Jordan Lyles has been traded to the Milwaukee Brewers, source tells ESPN. Right-hander Cody Ponce will go back to the Pittsburgh Pirates.

- The Cardinals acquired former Mariner Zac Rosscup from the Dodgers.
- Also, the Phillies made a deal with the Mets for Jason Vargas. I guess teams really don’t mind trading within the division.
- All Mariners end up in Tampa eventually.
Other teams have predicted that the Rays would try to make an impactful deal, as they did in 2018, and they have been doing work on closer Edwin Diaz.

me: ok, I’m not
him: “but are you, FOR REAL?”
me: I am, for real
him: I thought you’d look younger
me: ME TOO
