MLB News Today: Former Dodger Reyes Moronta dies in tragic accident; Yankees bounce back and win the series against Red Sox; Cubs secure Isaac Paredes' services from Rays

Multiple headlines from the world of MLB caught the public eye on Sunday. On the field, the New York Yankees were finally able to string two back-to-back wins, while the Cubs landed Tampa Bay Rays' Issac Paredes ahead of the July 30 deadline. But by far, the tragic news in baseball came from the Dominican Republic.

#1 Ex-MLB bullpen arm Reyes Moronta dies in accident

Former San Francisco Giants pitcher Reyes Moronta reportedly died in a tragic car accident in his home country of the Dominican Republic. His last club, Mexico's Bravos de Leon, broke the news for everyone. Moronta had a 10-11, 3.05 ERA record. He was signed by San Francisco in 2010 as an international prospect before making his debut in 2017.

In his final two seasons, he played for both Los Angeles clubs and the Arizona Diamondbacks. Moronta posted a 6.75 ERA for the Angels last season and was let go in the offseason, becoming a free agent. After a brief spell in Mexico, Bravos released him as he headed back to his hometown of Santiago in the Dominican Republic.

#2, Yankees win series at Fenway Park

The Yankees' offense stayed hot supporting a solid outing by their starter Carlos Rodon. They were able to take the decider against their divisional rivals, the Boston Red Sox, by a thumping 8-2 margin.

Two Yankees at-bats who were in much need of some form, Gleyber Torres and Oswaldo Cabrera, hit two RBIs, whereas newcomer Jazz Chisholm Jr., who started in center field, earned his maiden hit for New York.

#3, Isaac Pardes moves to Chiacgo from Tampa Bay

After generating interest from a number of top teams, the Chicago Cubs swooped in to sign Tampa Bay Rays third baseman Isaac Pardes. He is a long-term solution in third base for the team and still has three years of club control left on his contract. Meanwhile, the Rays received 3B Christopher Morel and two relievers, Hunter Bigge and Ty Johnson.

Paredes is expected to be the rare signing for the Cubs, who are 50-56 and expected to sell most of their players. They are already in talks to trade the likes of Jameson Taillon.
