              @Reds: The #Reds have acquired RHP Matt Harvey from the Mets in exchange for C Devin Mesoraco and cash. Harvey will join the team later this week in Los Angeles. The Reds have also selected the contract of C Tony Cruz from the Triple-A @LouisvilleBats. https://twitter.com/Reds/status/9939...268928/photo/1

                Even though the Reds are eating all of Mesoraco's salary (and the Mets are eating Harvey's), and Mesoraco hasn't played in 60 games in a single season since 2014, it's still more than I thought the Mets would get.

                  Paxton is Canadian.

                        Heard about that situation. Good. There is still some humanity left.
                        Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

                          6 no hitters in the last 29 seasons for Seattle, all by different pitchers (no Nolan Ryan Effect). 4 in the last 7 years.

                              The Mets just batted out of order. In the top of the first inning.
