The Cut List (Week 19) - Time to Let Go?

The trade deadline has come and gone. Arguably only one widely-rostered player, Luke Jackson, became unusable thanks to a trade at the deadline. So not much has changed around here.

Aroldis Chapman Walks Tightrope Again In Save

While the New York Yankees emerged with a victory over the Diamondbacks Wednesday afternoon, closer Aroldis Chapman's performance once again raised worries.

Yankees Out On Robbie Ray

Talks between the New York Yankees and Arizona Diamondbacks regarding starting pitcher Robbie Ray are now dead, according to team officials.
