The San Diego Padres have their eye on Red Sox closer Aroldis Chapman as they look for more bullpen help ahead of the trade deadline, according to @BNightengale.
@Nightshadow077@mpdjrhabs@NECCCards@BOSSportsGordo@BNightengale We'll just ignore Chapman has been consistently one of the best relievers in beisbol his whole career. He hasn't lost anything either. Like a fine bourbon, dude is getting better with age.
@NECCCards@BOSSportsGordo@BNightengale It's Bresblow, Sam Kennedy et al. You know they're gonna give him away for peanuts. Also, Preller has a long history of bamboozling Bos with broken pieces.
Fernando Tatis Jr. has an elite hard-hit rate ...
... and 0 homers. 340 players have a homer. He's not one of them.

We are devastated to learn of the passing of Hall of Famer Rickey Henderson.
Across a 25-year career, Henderson was a 10-time All-Star, 3-time Silver Slugger Award winner, 2-time World Series champion and the 1990 American League MVP.
Nicknamed the “Man of Steal,” Henderson owns the record for most career stolen bases (1,406) as well as the Modern Era (post-1900) record for most steals in a single season, with 130 in 1982. He led the American League in stolen bases in 12 separate seasons, and was MLB’s overall steals leader in six of those years.
14 of Henderson’s 25 seasons were spent with the Athletics. He also played for the Yankees, Padres, Mets, Mariners, Red Sox, Blue Jays, Angels and Dodgers.
Henderson was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2009. He was 65 years old.
