- Astros eclipse Yankees as AL favorites with stunning trade
- NL-leading Dodgers add infield depth with Jedd Gyorko deal
- Nationals reshape bullpen, adding three relievers at deadline
Zack Greinke held the New York Yankees to two runs on two hits over five innings on Wednesday, and that was the good news for the Bronx Bombers when it comes to the veteran pitcher.
In the closing minutes of the 4 pm ET trade deadline, the Houston Astros reportedly acquired Greinke from the Arizona Diamondbacks, the second last-minute pitching pickup that shifts the Astros to the favorites to win the American League over the Yankees.
