The Nationals acquire Austin Nola from the Mariners for Matt Cronin K.J.. Harrison & Jackson Cluff. Lastly the Mets acquire Joey Wendle from the Rays for Brian Dozier & Jake Marisnick.

Looking At The Standings:
The 71-38 Yankees have a stranglehold on the AL east. The Indians are holding on in the Central 62-48 but the Twins have closed the gap to one game. The Angels sit 5 games above the Astros in the wesr 61-44. The wildcard belongs to the Twins and Astros but my Red Sox are right there. The Nationals lead the east 61-50 but the Phillies are hanging around back 5 games. Likewise the 68-42 Reds have 5 games in the central. The Dodgers sit 75-36 and are very comfortable 15 games up. Cubs & Padres own the wild card.
Moving into the dog days of August can my Red Sox mount a comeback after being sellers at the dealine? Ill be playing every game from here out do updates will be less frequent.
30 teams. 10 play off spots. Who will survive?
