The Rays have a bullpen you can win with. Do the Phillies? The Mariners and Rangers couldn't be more different heading into their season-deciding seven meetings.
instead, questions remained whether their offense was deep enough to support their traditionally excellent pitching. While some of those concerns still seem legitimate, Canha in particular has done his part to lift this lineup in a meaningful way.
Trade discussions between teams are hardly linear, stopping and starting in various forms in the days and hours leading up to the deadline. It's hard to know for sure if Canha was the consolation prize from the Mets in Milwaukee's pursuit of the Polar Bear. No matter how it went down, Canha has provided a tremendous boost for manager Craig Counsell, with no moment bigger than his go-ahead grand slam last week against Washington.
It hasn't just been one swing, either. Canha's .977 OPS this month is top 20 in MLB and represents one of the best marks of any single month in his career.

Then, just as I was starting to wonder if and when we'd see the superstar version of Carroll again this year, he delivered one of his best games of the year on Wednesday versus the Giants. He collected four hits , scored three runs, swiped two bags and snapped what had been a season-long 12-game strikeout streak. Carroll also became the first rookie — and just the 13th player overall — in MLB history to hit 25 home runs and steal 50 bases in a single season. That's more like it.
There are strong complementary pieces around the 23-year-old, but the D-backs' best hope of going on a deep playoff run remains predicated on Carroll consistently producing like he did Wednesday.
