I watched part of the All-Star game last night, but I didn’t really care who won. Aaron Nola had a strong shutout inning, so I’m fine with that. The scoring picked up in the bottom of the seventh as the AL defeated the NL 8-6 in 10 innings. A record 10 homers were hit.

Now to other important news, and it involves trades:

First, Manny Machado is going to… Los Angeles. We all thought the Phils were comfortably getting him Monday night, but the Dodgers came out and offered the top prospect in their system, which the Phillies weren’t doing. LA is reportedly offering only prospects:

So with the team’s top target snatched away from them, are the Phillies actually aggressive? Also the fact that Milwaukee had the second best offer might be something telling as well.

Speaking of Philly teams missing out on stars, the Sixers will be missing out on their second big star of the offseason:

So those weird odds websites were right? It’s an interesting gamble to take if you’re Toronto. Let’s see how both of those guys are taking the news:

Think Kawhi’s definitely going to LA after spending a year freezing his ass off in Toronto.

To make things worse for the Sixers, Nemanja Bjelica never signed his one-year deal with the team and will play in Europe this year. Will the team even sign another player?

At least we won the Super Bowl!
