BOS acquired reliever Brad Ziegler from the ARI for minor leaguers Jose Almonte and Luis Alejandro Basabe,

Ziegler is an alum of my alma mater, Missouri State. So I always root for him. Ryan Howard also played ball at MSU

MLB trade deadline to be on August 1, 2016

This is a leap year, and for MLB, it will mean a one-day leap in the annual non-waiver Trade Deadline.

The non-waiver Trade Deadline this season will be moved to Aug. 1st from the traditional July 31st -- which in 2016
falls on a Sunday.

The deadline is 4 p.m. ET, and on July 31, there are 7 games scheduled to begin between 1-1:30, 5 between 2-3:30
and 3 at 4. There are only 8 games on Aug. 1, all of which are night games.

It was announced by Commissioner Rob Manfred and he stressed that it will only be a one-year adjustment.

OK, so it's August. How much longer do you think it will be before the Cubs fade?
