The Seattle Mariners, three games behind the Houston Astros at 60-53 for first in the AL West and 1.5 games ahead of the Texas Rangers for the third and final Wild card spot, were one of the league’s most all-in teams at the trade deadline, dealing for the Arizona Diamondbacks’ corner infield duo of Josh […]

With most teams having played between 112 and 114 games, the MLB season is more than two-thirds of the way to completion. 50 games into the season, it was too early to judge any trend as real. There’s that little left until only the strongest 12 teams will remain, so every trend has to be […]
