Another week, another tie, and for just the second time since 1997, there was at least one tie in consecutive weeks. For the first time ever, a player retired at halftime.

Yesterday afternoon, Brian Cashman facilitated a trade for former NL MVP Andrew McCutchen in exchange for their 23rd and 26th-ranked prospects Abiatal Avelino and Juan De Paula. Gossip about a potential deal had persisted the night before, with Joel Sherman of the New York Post being the first to report. Initially, it was once thought …
