MLB’s 4 p.m. ET non-waiver trade deadline had passed, and instead of landing dominating Orioles closer Zach Britton to team with Kenley Jansen, the Dodgers wound up with only lefty relievers Tony Watson and Tony Cingrani added to the bullpen. And for those 12 minutes, it looked like the team had failed to add prized rental starter Yu Darvish to the rotation behind Clayton Kershaw. And then Ken Rosenthal teased Dodger Nation with a tweet....
Philadelphia has acquired Corey Dickerson from the Pirates, the Phillies announced Wednesday. The Pirates will receive a player to be named later and international bonus money. McCutchen tore his ACL earlier this season, and the Phillies have been forced to scramble in the outfield as Adam Haseley and Nick Williams have played a good amount of time. Both have potential, but Dickerson gives Philadelphia a more experienced, true left fielder and offers outfield depth....

Choo and Ellsbury are considered the top free agent outfielders on this year's market. The Rangers likely will need to replace the offense of RF Nelson Cruz, who hit .266/.327/.506 with 27 homers for Texas before being suspended for 50 games for his involvement with Biogenesis. A Cruz/Rangers reunion is unlikely, according to Heyman. Choo is a different kind of offensive player than Cruz, with less power but better on-base skills and more speed....

MORE: NL stars who could be dealt REPORTED BY: Fox Sports’ Ken Rosenthal THE DETAILS: While the Reds want to ship Phillips and his $27 million contract over the next two seasons, he does have the right to refuse any trade via his 10-and-5 rights. Rosenthal writes that the trade talks have yet to progress to a significant stage since a big chunk of cash will likely have to be included in a potential deal since Hill is under contract for one-year, $12 million....

The GOP congressman, who recently announced his bid for Senate in 2022, spoke at the “Save America” rally in Washington, D.C., just hours before a group of pro-Trump rioters stormed the Capitol in an unsuccessful attempt to block the certification of the 2020 election results. Many Democrats have blamed Brooks and other Republicans at the event for helping to incite the rioters and the violence that ensued....

Instead of resolving vaguely to drink less, set a specific limit–one drink a day, or even no alcohol except at social events. Avoid triggers. Drinking can become an automatic response to certain feelings (stress, anger, loneliness) or events (getting home from work). Once you identify your triggers, try changing your routine to avoid them....
