导出博客文章After 18 trades on deadline day, baseball probably deserves a chance to take a deep breath. http://www.officiallionsgear.com/Lions-Frank-Ragnow-Draft-Jersey/ .That calm period may not last for long.Teams had until 4 p.m. EDT on Monday to make trades without waivers, and it was the busiest deadline day since at least 1995, according to Major League Baseball. In a sense, the deadline marks the unofficial start of each seasons pennant races. From now on, its hard for any team to make a major move, so the contenders will have to hope the rosters they have are good enough.Some of the biggest trades were made by teams already in first place, like Texas, Cleveland and San Francisco. But the Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Mets, who are trying to come from behind in their divisions, were also active.Now the focus turns to the aftermath -- and how all these moves will affect the postseason chase.Here are a few things to watch as the dust settles following Mondays deadline:GOING FOR ITThis years biggest buyers were the Texas Rangers, who have the American Leagues best record and added two of the top prizes on the trade market. The Rangers acquired catcher Jonathan Lucroy from Milwaukee and outfielder Carlos Beltran from the New York Yankees.Texas also got Brewers closer Jeremy Jeffress. The Rangers had to send two former first-round draft picks to Milwaukee, but with Houston within striking distance in the AL West, Texas decided to be aggressive.The Astros were 10 games behind Texas on July 29, but the deficit is now 5 1/2 games. Houston had a fairly quiet trade deadline and will now have to try to chase down the revamped Rangers.RIVALSThe Los Angeles Dodgers are two games behind San Francisco in the NL West, but they added left-hander Rich Hill and outfielder Josh Reddick in a deal with Oakland. The Giants werent about to stand pat, acquiring left-hander Matt Moore from Tampa Bay.The Dodgers still have their share of drama hanging over them in the form of Clayton Kershaws injury problems and Yasiel Puigs situation, but Hill and Reddick will have a chance to give them a boost.SHUFFLING THE STAFFAaron Sanchez is 11-1 with a 2.71 ERA for Toronto, but the 24-year-old righty has already surpassed his previous high in innings. That means the Blue Jays are set to move him to the bullpen, a decision that may not be popular with everyone in Canada. The team feels its the best way to enable him to keep contributing this year.The Blue Jays acquired left-hander Francisco Liriano. He may help the Toronto rotation withstand the loss of Sanchez -- but only if he improves on the 5.46 ERA he posted in 21 starts with Pittsburgh this season.LOGJAMThe New York Mets added another power hitter to their lineup when they acquired Jay Bruce from Cincinnati, but now they have four outfielders who can start. With Bruce and Yoenis Cespedes figuring to be in the middle of the lineup, either Curtis Granderson or Michael Conforto could end up as the odd man out. Both bat left-handed.ONE IS ENOUGH?Clevelands attempt to acquire Lucroy fell apart when he refused to waive the no-trade provision in his contract, but the Indians did make one major move, adding reliever Andrew Miller in a deal with the Yankees. Will that be enough for them to hold on in the AL Central?Nobody else in the division made any significant additions. After years of being active around the deadline, Detroit didnt make any trades this time, although the Tigers can look forward to getting Jordan Zimmermann and J.D. Martinez back from injuries.---Follow Noah Trister at www.Twitter.com/noahtrister http://www.officiallionsgear.com/Lions-Levine-Toilolo-Draft-Jersey/ . It was the kind of score that might make everyone else wonder which course he was playing. Except that Graeme McDowell saw the whole thing. Crouched behind the 10th green at Sheshan International, McDowell looked over at the powerful American and said, "Ive probably seen 18 of the best drives Ive seen all year in the last two days. http://www.officiallionsgear.com/Lions-Ricky-Wagner-Draft-Jersey/ .ca looks back at the stories and moments that made the year memorable. http://www.officiallionsgear.com/Lions-Miles-Killebrew-Draft-Jersey/ . After taking two big hits this week -- losing at home and dropping back-to-back games for the first time all season -- Indiana struck back by playing its most complete game of the year. STATE COLLEGE, Pa. -- Penn State kicker Joey Julius released a public statement Monday morning and admitted he sought treatment earlier this year for an eating disorder.Julius -- whose big hits on kickoffs twice went viral this season -- missed both spring and summer workouts with the football team. The reason was initially unknown, but he explained on Facebook that he was admitted to an eating disorder center in St. Louis from May 9 to July 26.Due to my increase in not only weight but also depression and anxiety, my team physicians started to notice not only a change in my overall happiness but also my performance as a normal human being, Julius wrote. Throughout this whole process I learned a lot about myself. I learned that for the last 11 years of my life, I have suffered through a disorder known as binge eating disorder.Julius, a 258-pound redshirt sophomore did not explain why he decided to open up about his disorder now, but he thanked both Penn State coach James Franklin and the staff for their support. He also extended his own help to anyone in a similar situation.If anyone - and I mean anyone, guy or girl - is struggling with the same or anything similar, please message me as I will be in immediate contact to help in any way I can to provide information or insight on my struggles, he wrote. And I would love to help.According to the National Eating Diisorders Association, binge eating disorder impacts 2 percent of men and remains the most common eating disorder in the U. http://www.officiallionsgear.com/Lions-Jarrad-Davis-Draft-Jersey/. S.The reaction to Julius statement has been overwhelmingly positive so far, with more than 200 friends and fans posting to Julius Facebook wall and thanking him for the courage to reveal his disorder. His Twitter account has been flooded with similar messages.In a statement, Franklin said the Penn State program supports Julius.We are very proud of Joe and fully support him as he deals with these personal matters, he said. However, as is our policy, we do not discuss the medical affairs of our student-athletes. We ask for others to be supportive and respectful, as well!Julius has made headlines this season for his big hits on Kent State returner Kavious Price and Michigan returner Jourdan Lewis. All-American Jabrill Peppers even moved out of the way to avoid blocking the kicker.That guy is surprisingly a very good cover guy, Wolverines special-teams coach Jay Harbaugh said. Credit to him -- hes a big, stout cover guy you really have to account for, which is unfortunate. You usually like to be able to ignore the kickers.Julius handles kickoffs for the Nittany Lions. Tyler Davis handles the field goals.
