Toronto Blue Jay's acquire Cardinals reliever Jordan Hicks
Hicks, a 26-year-old right-hander, is having his best season in the major leagues and will be a free agent this winter. In 41⅔ innings, he has struck out 59 and allowed just two home runs while saving eight games.
******
In return for Hicks, the Blue Jays will send a pair of minor league right-handers to St. Louis: 21-year-old Sem Robberse and 22-year-old Adam Kloffenstein, both
Rangers trade for Cardinals' Jordan Montgomery,Chris
Montgomery, who is a free agent this winter, was 6-9 with a 3.42 ERA, 108 strikeouts and 35 walks over 121 innings with St. Louis. In 53⅔ innings, the fifth most of any reliever in baseball this season, Stratton sported a 4.36 ERA, though his underlying metrics suggest that he has been unlucky and could see positive regression.

Houston Astros acquire Justin Verlander from New York Mets
Verlander got off to a slow start this season but has regained his form of late, posting a 1.49 ERA over his past seven starts. Verlander, 40, returned from Tommy John surgery to capture his third Cy Young in Houston in 2022, then helped lead the team to its second World Series title in six years.
Tigers Eduardo Rodriguez blocks trade to Dodgers, sources say
Rodriguez has three years and $49 million left after this season on his original five-year deal with Detroit, but he also has an opt-out clause that he's likely to use because his performance this season (2.95 ERA, 3.18 FIP) will earn him a nice contract. Rodriguez, a left-hander, had a 10-team no-trade clause that included the Dodgers.

MLB opts to keep pitch clock rules intact for postseason
Players had expressed interest in adding time to the clock, which mandates pitchers throw the ball within 15 seconds of receiving it when the bases are empty and 20 seconds with runners on. The clock has been a rousing success, trimming the average game time by nearly 25 minutes -- to 2 hours, 39 minutes.
