5 Teams Scouting Taylor Ward This Weekend
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...
MLB Trade Rumors: Brewers Reacquire Peralta In Ironic Trade Proposal
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...

Report: Blue Jays' George Springer Willing To Be Traded To AL East Rival
One of the top trade pieces for the Toronto Blue Jays as we approach Monday's deadline is outfielder George Springer. He's been on a hot streak of late, and after a tough first half of the season, teams are starting to take notice. But Springer has earned his 10-and-5 rights—at least 10 years of Major League service time and the past 5 consecutive seasons with the same team. That means he has a full no-trade clause. However, a report from Julian McWilliams of...

Orioles Willing To Deal One Of Four Bullpen Arms
The Baltimore Orioles are willing to subtract from their bullpen even as they consider whether to buy or sell at the deadline. Per Danielle Allentuck of The Baltimore Banner , one source indicated Baltimore would be open to moving one of its right-handed relievers, whether that is Yennier Cano, Tyler Wells, Rico Garcia, or Andrew Kittredge.

Reds' Struggling Ace Drawing Massive Trade Interest
Hunter Greene has struggled badly since returning from elbow surgery, and yet he might be the most coveted arm on the entire trade market. Per Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic , the Cincinnati Reds are drawing significant interest in Greene, according to a person briefed on their discussions.

Why The Intere...
Red Sox 'Going Big' At Deadline, Proposed Blockbuster Lands 2 Huge Pieces
The Boston Red Sox are looking for a significant boost for their offense as we approach the trade deadline.

But Mead will be out for 6-8 weeks after suffering a fractured hand in his very first game with the BoSox. Their next move could be much bigger, according to insider Jeff Passan . He suggested the R...
MLB Trade Rumors: Phillies & Blue Jays Talking Trade on Multiple Players
Two teams that will be making moves at the trade deadline, for different reasons, are the Philadelphia Phillies and Toronto Blue Jays . The Phils are desperate to turn things around amidst their recent swoon (2-8 over their last 10, but still in a Wild Card spot with a ton of elite talent), while the Jays are obvious sellers in a season gone wrong. Insider Jon Morosi says that those two teams are emerging as trade partners. The Blue Jays & Phillies are emerging as trade partners, as I reported...

The Season Behind The Interest May signed a one year, $12.5 million deal with St. Louis over the winter after arriving via free agency, and it's turned into o...
5 Teams Linked To Tarik Skubal As Latest Trade Talks Ramp Up
As Ken Rosenthal noted this week, "Until Tuesday, some rival executives resisted calling the Detroit Tigers on left-hander Tarik Skubal, trying to be respectful as the team fought to remain in contention." But, he says, "the time for such niceties is over." He now lists five teams as in the running for Skubal, who will almost certainly be dealt now after the Tigers' complete collapse on Wednesday, when Skubal left the game in the 7th with a 7-1 lead, going on to lose 10-9 to the Baltimore Or...

The willingness to discuss that trio of young, controllable talents shows just how much Baltimore's front office is willing to consider as it navigates a lost season. Adley ...
