They would seed the teams 1 through 3 based on various tie breakers. Seeds 2 and 3 play each other for the 2nd WC spot. Then the actual WC game.

I kinda hope that there is some real chaos at the end of the year. I'd love it if we won the East, the Cardinals won the Central, the Dodgers won the West, and then the Nationals, Phillies, Cubs, Brewers, and Giants all finished tied for the wild card. It would be so much fun to watch them try to figure that mess out.

Asdrubal Cabrera was DFA'd by the Rangers. He was one of the guys I had my eye on this offseason as bench depth. Really wouldn't mind giving him a minor league contract and maybe providing some depth for our infield. Probably not needed, but I've always kinda liked him as a player.

Called Up to the Major Leagues
After the trade deadline this players are available for the playoffs? Or now is too late?
He was DFA'd which means he's free to sign with anyone. I believe it's the same status as an outright release. He doesn't have to accept the assignment which would make him a free agent.
As far as I'm aware there is still the Aug 31st deadline of a player needing to be in your teams organization to be eligible for the playoffs. So if anybody is DFAed and later picked up they could find themselves on a playoff roster. Teams just can't have any kind of trades right now.

Very Flirtatious, but Doubts What Love Is.
Old friend Tim Collins has elected free-agency after being DFA’d by the Cubs. One way to add a bullpen lefty.

Some big time suspensions given out today by MLB for the reds and pirates brawl
Garrett gets 8 games, Bell gets 6 games, Puig gets 3
Hurdle gets 2, Kela gets 10 for throwing at Dietrich and instigating the fight

You would think so, but he actually has reverse splits over his career.

The Tigers have selected the contract of outfielder Travis Demeritte from Triple-A Toledo, as per a team announcement. Righty Eduardo Jimenez has also been called up from Toledo.
Demeritte is set for his big league debut just a day after joining the Tigers. The 24-year-old was dealt to Detroit yesterday along with southpaw Joey Wentz in the trade that sent Shane Greene to the Braves.

Apparently we were negotiating for Greinke. Decided it would cost too much and he was too old. God damnit that has me pissed. Been hyping the guy for 15 years now and repeatedly watch us screw up the chance to get him. With Greinke we were real world series contenders. Now our WS might as well be the NLDS. Cant till he hits free agency and we pass on yet again while he continues his hall of fame career.

There is just no way that I'd take on 54 million dollars while also sending them Waters, Wright, and Muller. Which is right around what it would take to get him. Greinke just didn't fit with what we are doing. At all.
