Yasiel Puig has had a rough season, and his time with the Los Angeles Dodgers could be coming to an end.

San Francisco Giants pitcher Matt Moore fell one out short of throwing the first no-hitter of his career against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Thursday.

With two outs in the bottom of the ninth, Moore gave up a single to shortstop Corey Seager and was immediately pulled from the game, likely due to his high pitch count. Santiago Casilla recorded the final out to seal the Giants' 4-0 win.

After 22 years and 2,784 MLB games, Alex Rodriguez laced up his cleats for the final time with the New York Yankees on Friday night against the Tampa Bay Rays, going 1-for-4 with an RBI in a 6-3 win.

Texas Rangers slugger Prince Fielder's career is reportedly over after 12 years in Major League Baseball.

Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports reported Tuesday the Rangers are expected to hold a press conference Wednesday, when Fielder will likely announce his decision to step away from the big leagues. 

The Los Angeles Angels designated starting pitcher Tim Lincecum for assignment Saturday, Pedro Moura of the Los Angeles Times reported.

Lincecum started nine games for the Angels, recording a 2-6 record with a career-worst 9.16 ERA. 

Mired in the worst slump of his career, New York Yankees first baseman Mark Teixeira is reportedly expected to announce his retirement from baseball Friday, effective at the end of the 2016 season.

ESPN's Buster Olney first reported the news, and Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports provided confirmation.

One word encapsulated the MLB trade deadline Monday: mayhem.

Several trades took on multiple iterations before being finalized, a slew of top players changed teams and a few squads dramatically upgraded their rosters.

Jeff Passan of Yahoo Sports perhaps summed it up best:

With the team not quite hitting expectations in 2016, the Oakland Athletics dealt outfielder Josh Reddick and pitcher Rich Hill to the Los Angeles Dodgers for Frankie Montas, Grant Holmes and Jharel Cotton on Monday, the Dodgers announced:

Joel Sherman of the New York Post commented on the deal:

The Boston Red Sox reportedly acquired left-handed pitcher Fernando Abad from the Minnesota Twins in exchange for right-handed pitcher Pat Light on Monday, according to Mike Berardino of the St. Paul Pioneer Press. 

The San Francisco Giants announced Thursday they acquired infielder Eduardo Nunez from the Minnesota Twins in return for minor league pitcher Adalberto Mejia.
