Dodgers, Mets, Padres, Braves?

Chapman pitched in that 13-4 first game of the doubleheader romp on Saturday. Relieved Cole in the 7th with an 8-2 lead and gave up 2 runs on 2 hits and walked 3. Threw 19 pitches.

Was wondering if Straw could be on the trading block. His "bargain" salary and long-term contract may be incentive for playoff-quality teams to park him in the minors until rosters expand in September. He is a defensive asset and fast on the bases --a good addition for late innings.
