Bruce joins Mets for Subway Series on .TV
- Updated: August 2, 2016
It’s the first day after the non-waiver Trade Deadline, meaning a number of players will join their new teams today to begin a new chapter.
Jay Bruce is expected to join the Mets in advance of tonight’s Subway Series matchup against the Yankees, Jonathan Lucroy and Carlos Beltran could be in uniform for the Rangers in their series opener against the Orioles, Josh Reddick will be with the Dodgers as they open a series against the Rockies and the Red Sox are reportedly calling up a top prospect in advance of tonight’s game against the Mariners.
Today’s full schedule of Major League games also features a start from the Marlins’ Jose Fernandez at Wrigley Field and Giants ace Madison Bumgarner on the mound in Philadelphia.
And the best place to catch all the action is on MLB.TV.
MLB.TV Premium has returned with the same features as last year, and is only $79.99 for the rest of the season.

Tanaka starts on an extended five days’ rest for the Yankees, who have traded away Beltran, Andrew Miller and Aroldis Chapman. Tanaka is 1-1 with a 1.20 ERA in two career starts against the Mets.
