Kamil Krzaczynski-USA TODAY Sports The Cubs win yet again, 4-2 over the Phillies 92 games. Break even. What is that? That’s what the Cubs have done now. They’ve played their last 92 games at 46-46.

• Transaction retrospection: Eloy Jimenez-Jose Quintana trade
Saturday marked the one-year anniversary of Eloy Jiménez’s MLB debut. With that in mind, it’s an interesting time to look back at the blockbuster crosstown deal that brought the 23-year-old slugger to the South Side. Jiménez wasn’t the headlining name of that July 2017 swap. That was José Quintana, with good reason. The southpaw had emerged as one of the game’s most consistent, reliable starters. ...2020

The Diamondbacks made a minor league offer to right-hander John Lackey this offseason, writes USA Today’s Bob Nightengale, but the veteran righty passed on the opportunity. Coincidentally, Lackey’s friend and former teammate, Clay Buchholz, ultimately wound up in the D-backs organization on a similar deal and is now thriving in a rotation that has been hit hard by injuries. “I don’t bring that up ...2018
