Creation or destruction of teams, maybe even destruction; a very big part of the MLB trades this year were the Chicago Cubs. Javier Baez second baseman traded to the Mets .241 batting average. In return, Cubs get outfielder Pete Crow Armstrong .417 batting average. Chris Bryant traded to the Giants .268 batting average in return, Cubs get out fielder Alexander Canario .289 batting average. RHP Caleb Kilian with a 5.24 era. Anthony Rizzo traded to the Yankees .241 batting average, in return, Cubs get 2 minor league players. The Dodgers proved to have money to produce with 2 stars. Dodgers pick up Trea Turner 0.322 batting average. Dodgers also pick up Max Sherzer, age 37, a very risky pick up star of the Nationals with a 2.66 Era. Dodgers and Giants head- to-head to see who will come out first. Will these trades be enough for the Giants to keep their lead in front of the Dodgers? So far Dodgers Trea Turner has turned out to be a stand out player. Star Kris Bryant being a lead factor to the comeback of Giants vs the Diamondbacks on August 5. So far the wild cards are looking close. Rays take Al East, White Sox take Al central, Astros take Al West, Braves take Nl East, Brewers take NL central, Giants and Dodgers tied for first in NL west. Should make the rest of the season even more exciting.
