      I know one of the things I'm going to miss the most at /r/baseball is the trade deadline discussions/trackers, so I figured I'd start one here. I probably won't be able to keep this up-to-date all the time, especially on deadline day, but I'll do my best. Please throw new rumors, discussion articles or transactions I've missed into the comments and I'll update the main post as I can.

    7. The NL wins the All-Star Game for the first time since 2012

      Last night, the NL All-Stars beat the AL All-Stars 3-2, for their first win since 2012 and only their 4th since 1997.

      Here's the box score and lineups from the last time the NL won.

      I've never really understood why the AL seemed to be so much better in this game against the NL, but it's nice to see the league win one, even if no Brewers appeared in the game.

    14. Who is the all-time greatest utility player?

      Mookie Betts has been having another awesome year and is on pace to smash the personal season home run record he set last year.

      While he had a few starts at second base last year, the Dodgers have also turned him into a utility player this year by regularly starting him at 2B and, to a lesser degree, short stop in addition to his usual RF (the choice every day comes down to a combination of who is healthy, who needs a day off, and how other line-up options are expected to fair against the opposing starter). Defensively, he’s been solid at those positions and ranks particularly well in OAA at 2B in addition to his usual Golden Glove outfield performance.

      His season got me wondering about, who is the best utility player of all time? The Wikipedia article on utility players includes a number of notable ones, including guys that have played every position and guys who played multiple positions during at least one year they were all-stars, however most have average or below average offensive numbers.

      Is there a widely considered greatest all-time utility player? If not, who would you nominate for the title?

      Glad to see this new subgroup!

      Trying to jump ship from Reddit after 16 years there. Been in and out of Tildes since it started and just realized there’s no baseball discussion at all, and coincidentally Deimos just added this subgroup!

      Hope we can get some activity going in here. Highlights, stats, prospects, team discussion etc.

      Go Dodgers!

    41. The Cubs' Alec Mills has no-hit the Milwaukee Brewers

      Text 109 words
      I'm not watching baseball as much this season but it's still pretty awesome that someone on my team got this. It's the second no-hitter of the season I believe. Some fun facts related to this:...

      I'm not watching baseball as much this season but it's still pretty awesome that someone on my team got this. It's the second no-hitter of the season I believe.

      Some fun facts related to this:

      • Both Chicago teams have a no-hitter in the same season for the first time in MLB history
      • Both no-hitters at Miller Park have been thrown by Cubs pitchers, although the first was a neutral-site game against the Astros in 2008

      edit: Can I get the title changed to "The Cubs' Alec Mills no-hits the Milwaukee Brewers"? I think it fits better now that the day it happened has passed.
