## Resource

Baseball’s trade deadline looms, and the Yankees and Red Sox are locked in a fierce battle for elite catching talent. With a tight market heating up, Miami’s Liam Hicks — hitting .279 with 14 homers and 60 RBIs — emerges as a top target, despite spending time at first base and DH. Meanwhile, the Cardinals may part with veterans Pedro Pagés or Iván Herrera to clear space for their elite catching prospects, including No. 1-ranked Rainiel Rodriguez. As the clock ticks, all eyes are on who will snag the perfect backstop before August 3rd. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
