Daily blurb
The MLB trade deadline has passed, and there was quite a flurry of activity. I’ll let other sites comment on the relative winners and losers. But I counted more than 30 players on an active MLB roster this morning who were on a different team just one week ago.

The top best ball score in GuruGolf this weekend was a -55 from TD5, three strokes ahead of the next best result. On the worst ball side, BennyEmm prevailed with a +37, aided mightily by John Daly, who contributed +8 to his team scorecard on the final day. This was a tough tournament for worst ball scoring, as evidenced by the number of low individual scores, including a 59 by Appleby and a 60 from J.B. Holmes.

This week’s GuruGolf event is the Turning Stone Resort Championship, which will exclude the top golfers, who will be at the WGC event in Akron. The reason is that the Turning Stone event offers the traditional cut after two rounds, while the WGC events do not.
