I don't think that they were under market extensions.  They were under FA market, but not under extension market.

Nah some of them were definitely undermarket. Players like Acuna took the guaranteed money earlier in their careers knowing that it might end up costing them money.

Well that's a real bargain for the braves!

Nats tied it up in 8th, Pirates early lead on Brewers 

[chibears55]

Nats 3 run lead in bottom 10th, finish it off..

Be great if the Cubs can get through this tough weekend not losing ground or just a game at most.

 

Pirates extend lead to 6 - 2 in 4th

[Derwood]

Red lose, Pirates up 5, Miami losing, Philly losing

Pirates still up 4, Philly and Miami lost, DBacks losing, Padres losing. Giants idle

 

[Derwood]

Giants have a brutal schedule the rest of the way. Tons more against LAD and SD, plus a stretch against LAA, TEX and TB

[UMFan83]

Cubs will lose no ground today in the WC or the division.

That's quite a baseball mulligan.

1/2 game to the Giants but whatever. That's an amazing result considering we played the best team in the league and three of the teams in the hunt played 3 of the worst 8 teams in the league and all were at home.

No wisdom or Suzuki in the lineup is a beautiful thing to see
