DETROIT didn’t have a terribly sexy deadline but added starters Charlie Morton and Chris Paddack along with a few bullpen arms. The WHITE SOX held onto outfielder Luis Robert Jr. He has club options for the next two years, so perhaps we haven’t heard the last about his potential trade value.

The Padres, after completing a blockbuster trade earlier in the day, reportedly added to their depth at a key position in a trade with the Kansas City Royals.

A former MLB player says the San Diego Padres’ trade of Mason Miller was influenced by the Los Angeles Dodgers’ successful bullpen strategy last season.
