For example, Senga was...

It’s almost deadline day. Which should jumble next Saturday’s rankings. Certain teams believe their buyers and will ill-advisedly add. (I’m looking at you, Minnesota.) Certain teams who are on the cusp may swing for the fences and be rewarded. (I’m looking at you, Pirates.) Then there are the sellers, who will look to sell off pieces in hopes of a brighter future. There...
