In #Nats four playoff seasons this decade, they never faced an NL East deficit of greater than 4 games. They are 7 games back now. @MLBNetwork @MLB

Indians Acquire James Hoyt

By Jeff Todd | July 6, 2018 at 2:06pm CDT

The Indians announced that they have acquired righty James Hoyt from the Astros. Houston will receive minor-leaguer Tommy DeJuneas in return.

Hoyt will head to Triple-A on optional assignment. He will occupy the 40-man roster spot that was created when George Kontos was designated for assignment.

for failing to sign Carter Stewart, the no. 8 pick, the braves will receive pick no. 9 next year. to retain that pick, all they had to do was offer at least 40 percent of slot, which they did. similarly, pirates will receive pick No. 37, dodgers No. 31 and d-backs No. 26.

The #RedSox are cutting a wide swath in search of bullpen depth. One name on their list: Fernando Rodney, who is familiar to GM Dave Dombrowski from their time together with #Tigers. Rodney, 41, has 18 saves and a 2.97 ERA for #Twins this season. File it under "worth a look.''
