- Ben Clemens at Fangraphs wrote about the sensational season that Edwin Díaz is having.
- Mark Feinsand at MLB wrote about the biggest needs for each postseason contender at this point. He pitched a potential return for a former Mariner as an acquisition idea.
- This comes as little surprise, but the Advocates for Minor League Baseball sent a letter in response to the Senate Judiciary Committee with blistering remarks about how MLB owners are treating minor league players. The question at this point is whether the committee will actually do anything about it.
- Aaron Judge’s MVP campaign may have hit a snag as he was left out of yesterday’s lineup with a calf issue.
