While the Dodgers and Astros still rule the roost in the rankings, what a difference a few pre-deadline deals can make in this week's shakeup of the top 10. The Cubs swap for Jose Quintana, the starting pitcher they needed? Just like that, they're up two slots and picking up steam. The Yankees, looking to arrest their slide in the standings, get Todd Frazier to shore up their infield and David Robertson to reinforce their bullpen? Up two, as well. And the Brewers' slide since the All-Star break? Rewarded with a three-spot drop.
