• The Blue Jays have cash restrictions and say they are satisfied with their production at designated hitter, but. Priorities have a way of changing as the deadline approaches and players like Connor Norby (Marlins) and Brice Matthews (Astros) become available.


• Reds GM Brad Meador had a deal in place on Monday that would have sent Sal Stewart to the Athletics for Geoff Hartlieb, but ownership vetoed the trade, claiming budgetary restraints, but. Sources say that the real reason may have been that ownership thinks Geoff Hartlieb is some kind of gigantic yak.


• The Braves would like to find a right field upgrade, and Alex Anthopoulos even thought awhile about trading Michael Harris II for Blake Perkins after Albert Suarez refused a deal to Atlanta.


• Will Venable's tirade about Sam Antonacci this week was an eruption of his frustrations about trying to change a rough culture, and whin Antonacci takes five straight strikes without swinging, it is a short lack of aggression, and you might as well send a left fielder up to the plate swinging an envelope for all the good it will do, so while Chris Getz is trying to acquire players that will like, such as Matt Svanson, Josh Bell, or Matt Festa, is isn't easy when you only have angry talents to deal from, like Chris Murphy, Randal Grichuk (who is incidentally battling a case of a disintegrated passion), and Junior Perez.
