WNBA ALL-STAR JERSEYS: How to buy Caitlin Clark, Napheesa Collier 2025 WNBA All Star Game jersey
Will Caitlin Clark play in the WNBA All-Star Game?
She is not expected to play. Clark re-aggravated a groin injury earlier this week and is expected to sit out the festivities. She did receive the highest number of fan votes, giving her an automatic bid as one of the All-Star game captains. Team Clark is facing Team Collier (as in Napheesa Collier), but Clark will not play.

Huw Jones proves a point and Finn Russell unflappable as Lions win series with record comeback

Huw Jones had his credentials questioned this week but the Scotland player answered his critics in the best possible way as he played a central role in the British and Irish Lions' series-clinching victory over the Wallabies in the second Test in Melbourne. In what is considered to be the mecca of Australian sport, Jones scored one of the Lions' five tries in a nailbiter at the MCG. Australia led from the fourth minute until the last but Hugo Keenan had the final say, getting around Len Ikitau to score the winning try after 12 phases of patient play. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad There was no panic from the men in red, no rashness or risky drop goal attempts, just a trust in the process. For Keenan, it was an extraordinary end to a gruelling tour. The Irish full-back was sick for around 12 days and reckons he lost around six kilos in that time. There was no loss of energy evident in his performance as he played the full 80 minutes and had the final say in the 29-26 victory. Finn Russell and Blair Kinghorn celebrate the Lions' series victory following the 29-26 win over Australia in the second Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. | PA It means the Lions have won the series; they lead 2-0 with a game to spare. That makes it sounds like it was straightforward but it was anything but. Last week's first Test in Brisbane was far more one-sided that the 27-19 scoreline suggested. Australia were poor but they were a different beast in Melbourne, bolstered by the return from injury of the abrasive Rob Valetini and the outstanding Will Skelton. Three Wallabies tries in seven minutes The Wallabies duo caused chaos for the Lions, getting under their skin in the first half, and the hosts led 23-5 at one point. The scored three tries in seven minutes, two of them while Tommy Freeman was in the sin-bin, and it was looking bleak for the visitors. They needed to stem the bleeding and they did it with two tries before half-time from Tom Curry and Jones. Jones - who played well in the first Test, it should be stressed - was initially left out by head coach Andy Farrell for the second game. The former Ireland coach wanted to partner Garry Ringrose with Bundee Aki in an all-Irish centre pairing. But Ringrose reported concussion symptoms, having already missed the first Test. It was a selfless act by the Leinster man and it meant a reprieve for Jones who started again at 13. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Jones praises Ringrose The Glasgow Warriors player admitted it had been a turbulent week for him and he had nothing but praise for Ringrose. 'I had the initial disappointment of not being named in the squad internally,' Jones said. 'Luckily, we'd all run through the plays. So, on Thursday, when Garry pulled out, I was gutted for him, because he deserved to play. 'We've got so close over this period, all the centres have come together on this tour and we all connected really well. So for him to have to pull himself out is so tough. But, yeah, look, I got the nod, was ready to go and I'm just, just glad we got the job done today.' Huw Jones of the British & Irish Lions scores a first-half try during the second Test of the series against Australia. | Getty Images The Lions were much improved in the second half when the Aussies were without the influential Valetini, removed at the interval. The tourists' discipline was far better and tries from Tadhg Beirne and Keenan won the match and took down a few records in the process. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Records tumble at the MCG It was the biggest ever comeback in a Lions Test as the tourists hauled back the 18-point deficit. It was also a record crowd, with 97,307 inside the fabled MCG. It looked as if half of them were wearing red and they witnessed the Lions winning their first Test series since 2013. It is only their third success of the professional era and the first time they have taken a 2-0 lead since 1997. On that occasion, it was a Scot at 10 as Gregor Townsend piloted Ian McGeechan's side to victory in South Africa. This time around, Finn Russell was at the controls and delivered once again to cap off the most successful season of his storied career. A Premiership and European Challenge Cup double with Bath has been followed with a Lions series triumph. Unflappable Finn Russell At 32, Russell is at his peak. Utterly unflappable, always in the moment and invariably picking the right option. It was never more visible than in the climactic moments when he kept the Lions playing through the phases before the chance opened up for Keenan. 'I think at about 70 minutes in, we got down here [the Australian 22] and got a penalty under the posts and I was thinking if we get down here again we're probably going to have to look at the drop goal option,' said Russell. 'But we'd had some good play building up to the try at the end. I just felt we had them kind of chasing around all over the pitch so I wasn't looking for that drop kick yet. I thought we could land that killer blow as we did. It's obviously a little bit risky if you knock it on and they get that jackal but I think at that point we had a lot of momentum and we were always going to score at some point.' Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Hugo Keenan of the British and Irish Lions celebrates after scoring the winning try during the second Test of the series against Australia. | Getty Images Russell admitted he didn't have his kicking boots on - he landed two from five - but the Lions outscored the hosts by five tries to three and that in itself made them worthy winners. It was Australia who made all the early running, though. Skelton and Valetini galvanise the Wallabies Spurred on by the returning Skelton and Valetini, they surged into a 6-0 lead with two penalties from Tom Lynagh. Skelton was late into the back of Tadhg Furlong, sparking an early flare up and Maro Itoje could be heard moaning on the ref mic. His plea to Italian whistler Andrea Piardi - 'But sir, he started it' - sounded a little desperate but it was deeds not words that brought the Lions back into the game. Dan Sheehan tapped a penalty from close range and dived over a tackle to score. It was deemed legitimate by Piardi, much to the disgust of the home team. Russell struck a post with the conversion attempt and Australia came storming back. They were outstanding in a ten-minute burst from the mid-point of the first half as the Lions conceded penalty after penalty. Aussie prop James Slipper scored from close range, Freeman was yellow carded. Two more Wallabies tries followed with Freeman in the bin. Jake Gordon, excellent at nine for the hosts, spotted a gap between the two Lions props and nipped for a fine try after a series of dominant Australian rucks. Tom Wright, also very impressive, then finished off after a brilliant break by Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii. Hugo Keenan, of the British & Irish Lions, who scored the last-minute match-winning try is carried high by team-mates Jamie George (R) and Joe McCarthy. | Getty Images It was now 23-5 and the game appeared to be slipping from the Lions' grasp. The return of Freeman helped steady the ship and Curry stepped inside Gordon to score in the corner before Jones had his moment, powering between Tate McDermott and Max Jorgensen for a memorable try. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad It meant the Aussies' lead had been cut to 23-17 just before the interval and the Lions managed to improve their discipline in the second half and cut off the access they had given their hosts. Blair Kinghorn came on after 60 minutes and looked dangerous on his Lions Test debut. By that point, Beirne had scored the visitors' fourth try, which Russell converted. Lynagh had earlier landed his third penalty so it now stood at 26-24 to Australia going into the final quarter. The Lions kept probing and just about deserved their win via Keenan's late, late try. Australia complained that Jac Morgan had taken out Carlo Tizzano illegally in the build-up but replays suggested the Welshman's clearout was fair. It was a slightly contentious end to a match which wasn't always played in the best spirit but with so much at stake that was not surprising.

County legend warns Donegal about the part of Kerry's game they must keep in check during All-Ireland Final
It was a significant success for the north-west side and since then McShea has played a prominent part in helping to promote football within the county. Right now, though, he is on edge ahead of Donegal's meeting with Kerry in the All-Ireland Senior Championship final at Croke Park on Sunday afternoon (3.30pm). McShea, who has watched the current Donegal side lift back to back Ulster titles over the course of the past two seasons, is particularly keen to see the team take delivery of 'Sam' conscious that the trophy has not rested in the county since 2012. And while he believes the current side can test Kerry to the full, he is hugely aware that the Kingdom's track record in the competition is such that they will go into the game as warm favourites. That, however, does not deflect the popular McShea from holding onto the belief that his beloved Donegal could come good on this particular occasion. 'Obviously Kerry have some very big guns in their side and they will pose a huge threat to us no matter how you look at it,' points out McShea. 'I think the important thing is that Donegal hit the ground running and keep the pressure on if they can. Kerry have established a tradition of winning All-Ireland Finals and their players know what will be expected from them on this occasion.' As a polished full-back, McShea grew accustomed to thwarting opposition sides when he was at his peak and he sees several Donegal players in this light going into tomorrow's match. 'We have players like Micheal Murphy, Ryan McHugh, Brendan McCole, Paddy McBrearty, Michael Langan and others who have given outstanding service to the county and it would be great to see the side lift the trophy,' smiles McShea, 'This is a huge challenge for Donegal but I still think that they can rise to the occasion. They will certainly have plenty of backing from thousands of their followers.'

MLB trade deadline: Every prospect traded in 2024 looks like a dud
And for clubs hovering around or just below .500, selling means kicking the can down the road again, at least in part because internal "playoff odds" might not suggest earnestly competing is the best choice. So just what did last year bring, and are the sellers better off? Not a lot: Of the 83 prospects acquired, three have become replacement-level big league regulars, and one - Marlins slugger Kyle Stowers - an All-Star. Two more are platoon players. Yet just two traded prospects cracked the top five of the acquiring team's most recent prospects list as rated by Baseball America, while 17 others are currently in an organizational top 30. And not a single current top 100 overall prospect changed organizations. Just call the following an exercise in managing expectations. USA TODAY Sports examined the biggest deals in the last week leading up to the 2024 deadline, excluding trades that didn't involve obvious buyers and sellers, blatant cash dumps, those involving players designated for assignment and similarly minor moves. As that seven-day window opens for 2025, is it worth it for clubs to get "something" instead of nothing? Let's see: The biggest deals Dodgers get: INF/OF Tommy Edman, RHP Michael Kopech, RHP Oliver Gonzalez Cardinals get: RHP Erick Fedde, OF Tommy Pham White Sox get: INF Miguel Vargas, INF Jeral Perez, INF Alexander Albertus Outcome: Dodgers win World Series; Cardinals finish 83-79; White Sox finish 41-121 Aftermath: The two Dodger blockbusters certainly pushed them over the top to a World Series title and they even convinced Edman to stick around a while. Kopech was a regular season and playoff savior, posting eight scoreless outings in 10 postseason games, although he's been injured almost all this year. The Cardinals failed to make the postseason and Fedde, though solid down the 2024 stretch, was designated for assignment last week. For all those moving parts, the White Sox got little assurance of a future cornerstone. Vargas flourished momentarily with a long runway for big league at-bats but now has a .221/.304/.402 line with 12 homers. Perez, 20, is ranked 22nd in the Sox system and has a .296 OBP at high A while Albertus has played just 19 career games outside of complex league ball. ?? Dodgers get: RHP Jack Flaherty Tigers get: SS Trey Sweeney, C Thayron Liranzo Outcome: Tigers win wild-card series, lose in AL Division Series Aftermath: The trade that broke all conventions. The Dodgers snagged the most significant starting pitcher upgrade just before the deadline and Flaherty started three of the Dodgers' 11 postseason victories. Meanwhile, the Tigers regrouped behind a "pitching chaos" plan, gained an everyday shortstop in Sweeney, reached the playoffs - and re-signed Flaherty in the off-season. Kids, don't try this at home. Something about the exception that proves the rule. As for assets? Check back. After solidifying shortstop last season, Sweeney has produced negative WAR and a 63 adjusted OPS this season, which included a brief trip to Class AAA. Liranzo, 22, is No. 4 in Baseball America's midseason re-rank of the Tigers' system, with a .748 OPS at Class AA. ?? Padres get: LHP Tanner Scott, RHP Bryan Hoeing Marlins get: LHP Robby Snelling, RHP Adam Mazur, LHP Jay Beshears, INF Graham Paulling Outcome: Padres win wild-card series, lose in NL Division Series; Marlins finish 62-100 Aftermath: San Diego won the stakes for the top reliever on the market and gave the Dodgers their toughest fight of October, losing a five-game NLDS thriller. Scott left as a free agent; Hoeing remains a member of the Padres' bullpen. The Marlins fortified their system, getting their current No. 4 (Snelling), No. 7 (Mazur) and No. 22 (Paulling) prospects, though only Snelling - having a nice bounceback year at Class AA and AAA - projects as a potential impact player. ?? Astros get: LHP Yusei Kikuchi Blue Jays get: INF/OF Will Wagner, INF/OF Joey Loperfido, RHP Jake Bloss Outcome: Astros lose AL wild card series; Blue Jays finish 74-88 Aftermath: A pretty good ol' fashioned deadline deal here, even as there's no carrying potential star in the return. Kikuchi pitched great in Houston (5-1, 2.70 ERA) yet somehow did not start a playoff game before the Astros went two-and-out. Wagner and Loperfido have played in 33 and 10 games respectively for the Jays, each sitting on 0.0 WAR (and if that's not the perfect illustration for the modern trade deadline return...). Bloss, now the Blue Jays' No. 13 ranked prospect, underwent Tommy John surgery in May after six rocky outings at Class AAA. ?? Yankees get: INF Jazz Chisholm Marlins get: C Agustin Ramirez, INF Jared Serna, INF Abrahan Ramirez Outcome: Yankees advance to World Series Aftermath: Chisholm was a key immediate and future piece for the Yankees, producing an .825 OPS and 11 regular season homers and filling a massive hole at third, sometimes with difficulty defensively. He's their everyday All-Star second baseman this year. It looked like a strong return for the Marlins after Agustin Ramirez debuted April 21 and slugged six homers with a .923 OPS in his first 23 games. He's hit eight more homers but with just a .674 OPS and 19% K rate in the 54 games since. Abrahan Ramirez is their No. 22 prospect but at 20 is still in the Florida complex league; Serna, 23, is on the 40-man roster but has a .569 OPS at Class AA. ?? Orioles get: LHP Trevor Rogers Marlins get: OF Kyle Stowers, INF Connor Norby Outcome: Orioles lose in AL wild card series Aftermath: Like the Flaherty trade above, this one went haywire from the jump. Rogers was bad and injured for a very good Orioles team down the stretch; he's now very good for a bad Orioles team this season. Meanwhile, the Orioles made a potentially crushing mistake in choosing Stowers to deal from their surplus of outfielders. After three years on the Baltimore-AAA shuttle, he's an All-Star and possible superstar in Miami, with 22 homers, a .295 average and .937 OPS. Norby started out hot in Miami but has cooled, with a .291 OBP and 13 homers in 108 games as a Marlin. Still, he's a useful big league piece and if there's anything we learned from this deadline, it's this: The Marlins seem to know what they're doing. ?? Orioles get: RHP Zach Eflin and cash Rays get: INF Mac Horvath, RHP Jackson Baumeister, OF Matthew Etzel Outcome: Rays finish 80-82 Aftermath: Eflin served his purpose, delivering a 2.60 ERA in 10 starts and a representative playoff outing; he's been injured and inconsistent in 2025 and, having just returned from the IL, is a likely candidate to get traded again this week. The modern front office is unafraid to trade within divisions and the Orioles appeared to pull this deal off without getting burnt by the savvy Rays. Baumeister, a second-round pick and the highest-drafted pitcher in the Mike Elias era, fell out of the Rays' top 30 and is on the 60-day IL in Class AA after a 6.86 ERA in 10 Class AA starts. Horvath (23, .765 OPS at high A) and Etzel (23, .707 at AA) don't appear to be impact players. ?? Phillies get: RHP Carlos Estevez Angels get: LHP Samuel Aldegheri, RHP George Klassen Outcome: Phillies lose in NLDS; Angels finish 63-99 Aftermath: Kind of the platonic ideal deal for both franchises. The Phillies burn trade capital to try and win now under Dave Dombrowski, who's ultimately undercut by his bullpen. And the Angels acquire OK talent that's, in Aldegheri's case, rushed to the majors with uninspired results. Aldegheri posted a 4.85 ERA in three starts last year and two relief appearances this year; he has a 4.75 ERA at Class AA and is ranked No. 8 in the system. Klassen, 23, has a bit more upside, ranked No. 4 in the system and a Futures Game pick this year thanks to what Baseball America calls "mid-rotation upside." But his command remains iffy, with a 5.86 ERA and 28 walks in 58 1/3 Class AA innings. ?? Padres get: RHP Jason Adam Rays get: RHP Dylan Lesko, OF Homer Bush Jr., C J.D. Gonzalez Aftermath: Padres first-rounders are drafted to be traded and in two years Lesko went from 15th overall pick to the Rays' system, as Adam was a stalwart in '24 and an All-Star this year for the ever-contending Padres. The cost? Not much. Lesko, 21, made just four starts this year at high A before he was shut down. Bush is ranked No. 24 in the Rays' system and has speed (33 steals at Class AA) but zero power. Gonzalez, 19, is on the 60-day IL at high A rehabbing an injured elbow and has slipped out of the organizational top 30. ?? Royals get: RHP Lucas Erceg Athletics get: RHP Mason Barnett, RHP Will Klein, OF Jared Dickey Outcome: Royals win AL wild card series, lose in ALDS: Athletics finish 69-93 Aftermath: A great pickup for Kansas City, giving it a stout bullpen for the playoff drive and a controllable relief arm; in fact, Erceg may be flipped this year as the Royals hover near the buy-sell line. The A's landed their now-No. 4 prospect in Barnett, who shined at Class AA before a mixed stint at AAA this year. Klein was sold to Seattle in January. ?? Mariners get: OF Randy Arozarena Rays get: RHP Brody Hopkins, OF Aidan Smith and a player to be named Outcome: Mariners finish 85-77 Aftermath: The Rays have built mini-empires off trading with Jerry Dipoto, though this one was pretty symbiotic. Seattle missed the playoffs last year but Arozarena is still producing at an All-Star level this year, even as Tampa Bay has largely readjusted its offense without him. Hopkins, a Futures Game selection, has made gains in the Rays pitching program and is now their No. 5 prospect, with 99 strikeouts in 81 innings and a 3.32 ERA in 18 Class AA starts. Smith, who turned 21 July 23, is No. 12 in the Rays' system and trending well at Class AA, his 10 homers and 26 steals auguring a versatile offensive profile. ?? Guardians get: OF Lane Thomas Nationals get: LHP Alex Clemmey, INF Rafael Ramirez Jr., INF Jose Tena Outcome: Guardians win AL Central, lose in AL Championship Series; Nationals finish 71-91 Aftermath: Thomas hit an epic postseason home run in Cleveland, though his overall production tailed off switching leagues in the trade. The Nationals hit on Clemmey, a Futures Game participant who's now their No. 5 prospect, but still has a long climb ahead from A ball. Tena has shown no power or speed and league-average hit ability in major league stints, while Ramirez has spent all season on the Class A injured list. ?? Guardians get: RHP Alex Cobb Giants get: LHP Jacob Bresnahan and player to be named (INF Nate Furman) Outcome: Guardians win AL Central, lose in AL Championship Series; Giants finish 80-82 Aftermath: Cobb didn't pitch for the Giants in '24 due to injury but made three effective starts down the stretch and started two playoff games for the Guardians, who won his ALDS outing against Detroit before he was injured again in the ALCS. Bresnahan, 20, is ranked 16th in the Giants system and having a decent year in low A; Furman has yet to play in their system due to injury. ?? Royals get: RHP Michael Lorenzen Rangers get: LHP Walter Pennington Outcome: Rangers finish 78-84 Aftermath: In a weird buy-sell deadline for the Rangers, the Royals got the veteran arm they needed for a playoff drive as Lorenzen posted a 1.57 ERA down the stretch, joined the playoff bullpen and re-signed in K.C. Pennington made a one-game debut with the Rangers but was placed on waivers in April and claimed by Baltimore. ?? Diamondbacks get: LHP A.J. Puk Marlins get: INF Deyvison De Los Santos, OF Andrew Pintar Outcome: Diamondbacks finish 89-73, miss playoffs on tiebreaker Aftermath: Puk pitched splendidly down the stretch for Arizona, but underwent an internal brace elbow reconstruction in June; he should recover to pitch in the 2026 second half before hitting free agency. Whle De Los Santos, now the Marlins' No. 18 prospect, led all the minor leagues with 40 homers in 2025, his strikeout rate - 27% this year, with 11 homers - has long diminished his stature as a prospect. Pintar, 25, has reached Class AAA but is not on the 40-man roster. The middling middle Mariners get: DH/INF Justin Turner Blue Jays get: OF RJ Schreck Aftermath: Turner was solid (.363 OBP, .766 OPS) in 48 games with the Mariners and while they didn't make the playoffs, his lasting impact was as hitting counselor for franchise player Cal Raleigh. Schreck, 24, is Toronto's No. 16 prospect and has reached Class AA (.941 OPS in 41 games). ?? Mariners get: RHP Yimi Garcia Blue Jays get: OF Jonatan Clase, C Jacob Sharp Aftermath: Garcia was a decent high-leverage relief prize (2.70 ERA) at the deadline but didn't pitch nearly as well (6.00) in 10 games with Seattle. For that, the Blue Jays got a utility guy who produced a 64 adjusted OPS in 112 plate appearances this year before heading to the minors, and a 23-year-old Class AA catcher with a .195 slugging percentage. ?? Brewers get: RHP Nick Mears Rockies get: RHP Bradley Blalock, RHP Yujanyer Herrera Outcome: Brewers lose in NL wild card; Rockies finish 61-101 Aftermath: Mears is still paying dividends for the ever-contending Brewers, with a 0.85 WHIP this year. Blalock has a 7.18 ERA in 14 games, 11 starts, for Colorado the past two years and has an 8.32 ERA at Class AAA. Herrera, 21, underwent Tommy John surgery in October. ?? Mets get: OF Jesse Winker Nationals get: RHP Tyler Stuart Outcome: Mets lose in NLCS Aftermath: The vibes were good enough for Winker in New York, who goes back to childhood in Orlando with Francisco Lindor, that they re-upped him in the winter, and he's produced at replacement level for a calendar year. Stuart, who turns 26 in October, is the Nationals' No. 18 prospect but is out for the year with an elbow injury that's limited him to 10 appearances. ?? Rangers get: C Carson Kelly Tigers get: RHP Tyler Owens, C Liam Hicks Aftermath: Kelly's star turn wouldn't come until he joined the Cubs this year; he provided an 84 adjusted OPS to Texas' futile playoff run. Owens, 24, is Detroit's 16th-ranked prospect and made three relief appearances this season, but has been hit hard in Class AAA Toledo's pen. ?? Padres get: LHP Martin Perez Pirates get: LHP Ronaldys Jimenez Outcome: Pirates finish 76-86 Aftermath: Perez was a near-ideal deadline stopgap, pitching to a 3.46 ERA in 10 starts, though he did not make San Diego's postseason rosters. Jimenez, 19, has a 4.28 ERA as a reliever for the Pirates' Florida complex team. ?? Brewers get: RHP Frankie Montas Reds get: RHP Jakob Junis, OF Joey Wiemer, cash Outcome: Reds finish 77-85 Aftermath: The fifth trade of Montas's career, he made 11 starts for the Brewers and one playoff start, his 3 2/3 innings apparently convincing the Mets to give him an ill-advised contract last winter. Junis was on an expiring contract, while Wiemer played in two games for the Reds and was a throw-in in the winter deal sending Jonathan India to Kansas City for pitcher Brady Singer. He's spent all season in Class AAA. ?? Diamondbacks get: RHP Dylan Floro Nationals get: INF Andres Chaparro Aftermath: Floro had a 2.06 ERA when the Nationals flipped him; he posted a 9.37 mark in 15 games with Arizona. Chaparro, 26, got three hits in his major league debut with Washington but batted .186 (24-for-132) since and has a .228/.333/.465 line at Class AAA. ?? Rangers get: LHP Andrew Chafin Tigers get: RHP Joseph Montalvo, RHP Chase Lee Aftermath: Yet another uncommon W for the Tigers, who deal a major league regular yet finish 34-19 and reach the playoffs while adding Lee, now their No. 15 prospect and a reliable (1.05 WHIP) member of their big league bullpen. ?? Yankees get: RHP Mark Leiter Jr. Cubs get: INF Ben Cowles, RHP Jack Neely Outcome: Cubs finish 83-79 Aftermath: A classic get-us-an-arm deal, Leiter provided the Yankees a relief body and was actually better (1.98 ERA) in the postseason than the regular season (4.98). Cowles, 25, has a .233/.296/.379 line at Class AAA; Neely made six relief appearances for the Cubs last season but has a 6.91 ERA in AAA. Smaller potatoes Red Sox get: RHP Luis Garcia Angels get: RHP Ryan Zeferjahn, CF Matthew Lugo, RHP Yeferson Vargas, 1B/DH Niko Kavadas Outcome: Red Sox finish 81-81 Aftermath: A classic modern Red Sox half-measure, where they don't really sell but also don't buy anything of significance and leave fans wondering what the point was. Garcia logged an 8.22 ERA in 15 games; while the Red Sox basically gave the Angels a bunch of guys, Zeferjahn, Lugo and Kavadas have made their major league debuts, with Lugo a potentially useful utility player. Warm bodies, anyway, more than the Red Sox can now say about Garcia. ?? Red Sox get: C Danny Jansen Blue Jays get: SS Eddinson Paulino, INF Cutter Coffey, RHP Gilberto Batista Aftermath: See above. Jansen capped off the worst year of his career by hitting .188 in 30 games for Boston. None of the Jays' acquisitions rank in their top 30, and only Paulino, a 155-pound 23-year-old, is playing above A ball. ?? Mets get: RHP Huascar Brazoban Marlins get: OF Wilfredo Lara Aftermath: Brazoban was good (2.90 ERA) for the Marlins, bad (5.14, no playoff run) for the Mets, though he's still around as a sentient member of the Mets' bullpen, striking out a batter an inning. Lara, 21, has a .203/.300/.326 line at high A. ?? Pirates get: INF Isiah Kiner-Falefa Blue Jays get: OF Charles McAdoo Outcome: Pirates finish 76-86; Blue Jays finish 74-88 Aftermath: Hey, remember the time the Pirates were buyers, kind of? Yeah, we don't, either. But Pittsburgh was 55-52 before finishing 21-34 and just two games ahead of Toronto - which added who's now its 20th-ranked prospect in McAdoo, 23, who has a .749 OPS and 10 homers at Class AA. ?? Pirates get: LHP Jalen Beeks Rockies get: LHP Luis Peralta Aftermath: Those swashbucklin' Pirates were active at the deadline, though Beeks produced a 1.79 WHIP in 26 games for them. Peralta has made 24 relief appearances over two sesons with the Rockies but has a 10.72 ERA at Class AAA this year. ?? Mets get: RHP Paul Blackburn Athletics get: RHP Kade Morris Aftermath: Blackburn was hurt before this deal and also this year but was a five-start stopgap for the NLCS finalists. Meanwhile, the A's coached up Morris, 23, into their No. 8 overall prospect after a strong half season at Class AA. ?? Diamondbacks get: 1B Josh Bell Marlins get: Cash considerations Aftermath: The "or player to be named later" never showed up so this was just a cash dump; Nationals fans should have similar expectations with Bell on the block once again, though he did have a .796 OPS in Arizona's failed playoff drive.
