The third week of the 2016 MLB season is in the books, and it's time for a quick look back at the biggest takeaways from around the league.
Jake Arrieta of the Chicago Cubs provided the big highlight of the week with his second career no-hitter, and in the process he's continued to close the gap on Clayton Kershaw for the title of best pitcher in the game.
Meanwhile, a pair of under-the-radar offseason additions in Drew Pomeranz (San Diego Padres) and Jarrod Saltalamacchia (Detroit Tigers) continue to impress despite their low cost in terms of talent given up in the case of Pomeranz and salary in the case of Saltalamacchia.
The term "low cost" won't be anywhere near Stephen Strasburg if he continues to dominate in his contract year, as he could be the next $200 million man in a thin free-agent class next winter.
That's a quick sampling of what you'll find in the article that follows. Take a look at all seven of the biggest takeaways from Week 3 of MLB action.
