Trade Deadline Update
August 1st, 2018
52-54, 3rd place (12 GB), 19th in Power Rankings
--Well after falling behind 6 games of the second Wildcard spot, I thought it would be best to trade away some short-term assets at the trade deadline. We decided to ship Markakis and Flowers to Houston in return for a 4-player package. We recieved 24-year old RHP Riley Ferrell who looks like he has a solid future as a high-leverage reliever. He has a good fastball-slider combo and sits in the mid 90's. He has been dominant in AAA (1.28 ERA) and will likely be called up soon to contribute to the major league squad. We also recieve 22-year old LHP Brett Adcock, a crafty lefty who has the upside of a #4 starter. He is assigned to AA Mississippi. Additionally, we recieve C Tim Federowicz who will back up Kurt Suzuki and OF Jake Marinick who has struggled this year (-0.2 WAR). He will platoon with Carrera in rightfield.

Transactions:
7/26: Peter Moylan has been released
7/26: Sean Newcomb has been demoted to AAA Gwinnett, Rex Brothers recalled
7/27: Send Nick Markakis (retaining 100%) and Tyler Flowers to Houston for RHP Riley Ferrell, LHP Brett Adcock, C Tim Federowicz, and OF Jake Marisnick
7/27: Place Federowicz and Marisnick on the active roster
7/28: Get no-hit by Clayton Kershaw!

Around the League:
-The Angels send OF Jabari Blash to the Mets for 1B Dominic Smith and RHP Anthony Swarzak
-The Rays send SS Adeiny Hechavarria to the Cardinals for IF Jedd Gyorko
-The White Sox send 1B Jose Abreu and 4.38million to the Marlins for RHP Colton Hock and RHP Will Hibbs
-The Tigers send OF Mikie Mahtook and RHP Jason Foley to the Mariners for DH Nelson Cruz and 4.8million in cash
-The Yankees send RHP Dillon Tate and RHP Adam Warren to the Twins for IF Eduardo Escobar
-The Nationals send OF Adam Eaton to the White Sox for LHP Luis Avilan and RHP Reynaldo Lopez
-The Reds send RHP Rasiel Iglesias to the Blue Jays for IF Logan Warmoth
-The Blue Jays send 3B Yangervis Solarte to the Phillies for RHP Jerad Eickhoff
-The Astros send RHP Charlie Morton to the Cardinals for OF Tyler O'Neill and 1B Jose Martinez
-The A's send RHP Kendall Graveman to the Blue Jays for OF Anthony Alford
-The Mariners send OF Kyle Lewis and RHP Nick Vincent to the Phillies for OF Aaron Altherr
-The Marlins send RHP Jose Urena to the A's for RHP Logan Shore
-The White Sox send RHP Michael Kopech to the Marlins for C Jared Barnes (???)
