Trea Turner and Max Scherzer landed in Los Angeles, sending seismic waves of envy felt all around the league. The White Sox and Mets moved with the intention of securing their division leads by plucking Craig Kimbrel and Javier Báez from Chicago. It was a blizzard of moves that saw major swings taken by teams in the hunt.
