If nothing else, that will annoy the Yankees fans who thought he was all but theirs.

More on the Braves’ pursuit of an outfielder: according to a source, Atlanta has Michael A. Taylor on its radar. Taylor is in the first year of a two-year, $9 million deal with the Royals.

Taylor should absolutely be a Phillies primary target. No excuses.

Trying to figure this one out

Are they about to DFA Didi?

I had assumed that Munoz would go down when Segura returns, but might be the end of the Didi error....

Improves their defense, but based on his career just a little bit of an offensive upside

There's a lot of options, but I can't imagine them cutting Didi when they won't even cut Familia.

I suspect we might see:

IN: Segura, Sosa
OUT: Munoz, Vierling

Other minor trades between now the deadline could affect things, too.

Unless they trade for a CF, I'd be surprised to see Vierling demoted

You're probably right; there seem to be multiple pundits saying that this is probably the end for Gregorious -- which is probably why he's getting some weekend starts in a final opportunity get hot.
