MLB: Pittsburgh Pirates at Cincinnati Reds

Hello everyone! Happy deadline day! There was a lot of news yesterday, so let’s get to it.

In Mariners news...

How is this...possible?

Scott Servais needs one more win to become second Mariners manager with 300 career victories. He's at 299-296. (Lou Piniella was 840-711).

Only other Mariners manager with .500-plus win percentage is Lloyd McClendon (163-161).

Around the league...

In case you missed it, there was a major trade last night involving Trevor Bauer.

Per sources, the three-team deal looks like this:

Reds get Trevor Bauer (from CLE)
Padres get Taylor Trammell (from CIN)
Indians get Yasiel Puig, Scott Moss (from CIN), Franmil Reyes, Logan Allen, Victor Nova (from SD)

Right after that happened, this happened. We’ll see what happens to Yasiel Puig for his involvement in this.

Yup...

Fair deal: Bauer’s last act as an Indian throwing ball over CF fence. Puig’s last act as a Red participating in a brawl.
