Today’s the trade deadline, so all the news today is going to be related to teams making deals to either get or send away players. The biggest rumor for the Indians right now is in regards to Bryce Harper, which has been discussed pretty heavily already thanks to our own Matt Lyons here and here. But don’t worry, Matt Schlichting is ready in case the trade ends up happening:

Around baseball, some trades are already happening:
- The Red Sox have acquired Ian Kinsler.
- The Astros have acquired Robnerto Osuna.
- The Pirates have acquired Keone Kela.
- The Yankees have acquired Lance Lynn (which ruins my series preview article. Thanks a lot, New York).
Post up and discuss any breaking tweets or articles you find as we head towards the 4 p.m. deadline!
Also, I’m upset that this was merely an autocorrect and not the actual story:
@Rangers and @Dbacks delayed in downtown Phoenix because a baboon went through town and overloaded the grid, knocking some lights out.
