Phillies’ priority, according to sources, remains a high-end reliever. As Ken illustrates here, the staredown is on between contenders and sellers.

Dick Allen is a Hall of Famer, and Jayson Stark wrote about a day that was personal to many — including Delaware Valley kids of a certain generation: nytimes.com/athletic/65193…

Hell of a story here from Jeff. Harper hasn't been the loudest on labor issues in past.

Guardians closer Emmanuel Clase has been placed on non-disciplinary paid leave through Aug. 31 as part of the league’s gambling investigation. Luis Ortiz is already under the same parameters.

Can confirm Jeff Passan that the White Sox have traded Austin Slater to the Yankees for pitching prospect Gage Ziehl. Adrian Houser has been scratched from his start but the White Sox say he’s still on the team for now.

The situation for today’s Phillies-White Sox game is not great. The forecast is bad. Anything is possible.
