BALTIMORE—Orioles first base coach Jason Bourgeois played for six teams in his eight-year major league career. Although he moved around often, he never changed teams at the trade deadline. There’s so much uncertainty involving the Orioles as they prepare for Sunday’s final game of a three-game series against the Philadelphia Phillies. No one knows how […]
The Baltimore Orioles are still just outside of a Wild Card spot, 1.5 games back heading into Sunday's play. Would they possibly consider trading starting outfielder Taylor Ward? True, his power numbers are way, way down this season, with only seven homers and 30 RBIs after a 36-HR, 103-RBI season last year. But he is getting on base at a career-high .383 clip, and has 64 runs scored. Insider Ken Rosenthal tells us , in The Athletic, that with the trade market very thin on right-han...

The Tigers officially traded Tarik Skubal to the Dodgers and announced assignments for Zyhir Hope, River Ryan and Brady Smith.
The world of Major League Baseball was rocked after it was announced the Los Angeles Dodgers traded for Detroit Tigers ace Tarik Skubal on Saturday. The news may have hit the Milwaukee Brewers the hardest, though, as that club was relentlessly trying to work out a deal for Skubal. New reporting is shedding light on […] The post MLB rumors: Brewers fans will hate Tarik Skubal bridesmaid revelation after Dodgers trade appeared first on ClutchPoints .
No, the Los Angeles Dodgers are not worth blaming for the Tarik Skubal trade, even if some baseball fans might feel otherwise.
The San Diego Padres needed a two-out walk-off single from Jake Cronenworth to get a dramatic 6-5 win over the San Francisco Giants on Saturday. Fernando Tatis Jr. was intentionally walked to bring Cronenworth to the plate. The adorable little second baseman as Mud Grant likes to call him, won a seven-pitch at-bat and delivered […]
The Milwaukee Brewers were probably the biggest losers in the Tarik Skubal-to-the-Dodgers outcome, only because if they could have paired the two-time Cy Young winner with Jacob Misiorowski for a one-two punch at the top of their rotation, it could have gone a long way to making them very tough to beat in the postseason. Alas, as usual, the Dodgers have nabbed the top player on the market, so the Brew Crew need to dip into the rest of the free agent pool to come up with some rotation depth. An...
The Detroit Tigers are betting big on their player development with their haul from the Tarik Skubal trade.
The Dodgers have somehow become even stronger. The two-time World Series champions have acquired left-hander Tarik Skubal from the Tigers, according to announcement from both clubs. Detroit receives right-hander River Ryan, outfielder Zyhir Hope, and righty Brady Smith. It’s a pedal-to-the-metal move for the Dodgers as they look to cement their dynasty in history. They have […]

The 33-year-old righty will bulk up the rotation of the surprising AL Central leaders while leaving room for his old team to add salary — and perhaps promote a blue-chip prospect.
It is a case of joining them after you beat them. Ernesto Martinez Jr. played last season with the Nashville Sounds, Triple-A affiliate of the Milwaukee Brewers. He appeared in nine games against the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders and although he only went 5-for-30, some of the hits he had led the Sounds to victory. On May 22, […]

The MLB 2026 trade deadline of Monday, August 3 at 4:00 p.m. MDT is fast approaching. The Colorado Rockies (and, frankly, most teams) were disappointingly quiet on so far this week.
