Former All-Star, 17-Year Veteran Gets DFA'd by D-Backs
The Arizona Diamondbacks brought in 40-year-old, 17-year veteran first baseman Carlos Santana for the season on a $2 million contract. He had all of 24 at-bats before going down with a strained right adductor in April. He and his slash line of .083/.154/.125 with a .279 OPS have now been designated for assignment. The Diamondbacks have designated 1B Carlos Santana for assignment. Read more: https://t.co/pAoUX3EIvF pic.twitter.com/1yLGb4GbNg — Arizona Sports (@AZSports) June 2...
Twins Attempting To Trade Two Players At Trade Deadline
The Minnesota Twins have a clear plan for the August 3 trade deadline. Whether ownership lets them execute it is the open question. Per Pat Ragazzo of Athlon Sports, sources say the Twins' front office would like to move starter Joe Ryan and catcher Ryan Jeffers at the deadline to accelerate the rebuild. The complication, per the same report, is that new owner Tom Pohlad may want to push the envelope and add to the roster given how weak the American League has been this season. Why the T...
Texas Rangers Sign 8-Year Veteran Catcher
The Texas Rangers and veteran catcher Austin Wynns are in agreement on a minor league contract. Wynns joins his fourth organization of the season, and his third in the AL West. A Whirlwind 2026 Wynns, 35, has already suited up for the Athletics and Braves this year and spent time in the Angels' system before being shipped to Atlanta for cash. He was outrighted by Atlanta earlier this month and elected free agency on June 17, since he has at least five years of big league service time. ...
MLB Trade Rumors: 3 Landing Spots Named for Giants' Luis Arraez
The San Francisco Giants are open for business. But of all the big names they'd love to ship out in their grand fire sale, it seems like the most obvious to move would be infielder Luis Arraez. Arraez was brought in by the Giants on a one-year, $12M deal, with the hope that they'd be in contention this season. But on an expiring deal, and with the Giants out of it, he is a certainty to be dealt. " Teams also understand how valuable putting the ball in play can be in the postseason,...
3 Potential Trade Destinations for Diamondbacks' Zac Gallen
Zac Gallen is 3-6 with a 6.10 ERA and a 1.63 WHIP through 16 starts and 79.2 innings, the worst statistical stretch of his career. He is also one of the more fascinating names on the trade market heading toward the August 3 deadline. Jim Bowden of The Athletic listed Gallen as an under-the-radar trade target to watch. Gallen re-signed with Arizona in February on a one-year, $22.025 million deal with roughly $14 million deferred, after declining the qualifying offer and failing to land the ...
MLB Trade Rumors: Sonny Gray Ready To Be Traded By Red Sox
The Boston Red Sox are 31-44, buried in the AL East cellar with the second-worst record in the American League, and Sonny Gray is not going to stand in the way if the front office decides to sell. Gray told Tim Healey of the Boston Globe that he would be open-minded about waiving the full no-trade protection he negotiated into his contract if Boston commits to a deadline teardown. "If someone came to me from the Red Sox and made a decision that that's the direction that this team was going to ...
Trevor Bauer Makes A Move, Still Eyeing MLB Return
Former Cy Young winner and embattled major league pitcher, Trevor Bauer, has changed leagues as he continues to try to find some interest from someone— anyone —for a potential major league return. Bauer spent the past couple of months dominating in the independent Atlantic League of Professional Baseball with the Long Island Ducks, but has now had his contract transfered to the Diablos Rojos del México of the Mexican League, a team he pitched for back in 2024 as well. Right-handed ...
MLB Trade Rumors: Top 3 Landing Spots For Red Sox Pitcher Sonny Gray
The Boston Red Sox are going to be sellers. The playoffs just isn't happening for them this year, and it's just a matter of who will bring back the best returns. According to insider Robert Murray on Monday, Sonny Gray is one of two Boston Red Sox players that the team absolutely has to deal, as he'll be drawing plenty of interest. He's off to a terrific, All-Star like season, with an 8-1 record, a 3.12 ERA and a 55:17 strikeout to walk ratio. Gray is in the final year of a three-y...
MLB Trade Rumors: 3 Landing Spots For Mariners' Luis Castillo
After three straight seasons in Seattle with ERAs in the mid-3.00s, with solid WHIPs and strong strikeout rates, Luis Castillo has taken a step backward this season at the age of 33. He sports a 5.22 ERA. Castillo has been bumped from the top 5 in the Mariners' rotation, bouncing back and forth to the bullpen. But there's enough credit on his resume, with nine previous seasons of strong work at the top of pitching staffs, that teams should be looking to capitalize on the situation ...
Sleeper Team Named in Tarik Skubal Sweepstakes at Trade Deadline
When it comes to the potential trade of two-time Cy Young winner Tarik Skubal, the Tigers are keeping their intentions close to the vest. They won't be making any decisions until much closer to the Aug. 3rd trade deadline. But if it does come to that, all the usual big-spending suspects have been projected as a Skubal destination: The LA Dodgers, NY Yankees and Toronto Blue Jays among them. But Bob Nightengale of USA Today tells us, via reports from MLB executives, that there...
8 Stolen Bases In One Game?! Baseball Record Smashed on Saturday
It's not often we'll bring you highlights and news from the minor leagues, but this one is a 'You have to see this' story. Playing for the Angels' rookie affiliate in the Dominican Summer League, 17-year-old Angels prospect Juan Cespedes set a new minor league record with 8 stolen bases in today's game. That's right. Not 1, not 2, not 3... but EIGHT stolen bases in one game. Watch as he steals second, third & home in the first inning. And he was... ahem... off and running from there. Ange...
MLB Trade Rumors: Proposed Swap Would Send Joe Ryan To the Dodgers
Joe Ryan continues to be one of the prime trade candidates in baseball as we steam towards the mid-summer trade deadline. Coming off an All-Star season, the Minnesota Twins ace is having an even better year—his best yet—with a 2.99 ERA, a 0.99 WHIP, and a 99:18 strikeout to walk ratio in 87.1 innings. The Twins find themselves five games under .500, and while they're still on the periphery of the Wild Card race in the weak American League, it stands to reason that they'll eventually come...
MLB Rumors: Yankees & Twins In Trade Talks
The New York Yankees have a catcher problem, and the most frequently cited solution plays for the Minnesota Twins . Three prominent MLB insiders have recently connected Ryan Jeffers to New York, a team that entered 2026 believing it had enough catching depth but has instead watched the position become a big weakness. Buster Olney of ESPN , Chris Kirschner of The Athletic , and others have all independently arrived at the same conclusion. Why the Yankees Need Him The numbers behind the pl...
MLB Rumors: Blue Jays Reveal Trade Deadline Plans
The Toronto Blue Jays already have one of the most expensive rosters in baseball. They appear willing to make it even more expensive. Per Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic , at least one rival club is under the impression that Toronto would take on additional payroll at the August 3 trade deadline to acquire the offense it needs. "The Jays already are well above the highest luxury-tax threshold, but at least one rival club is under the impression the team would take on additional payroll to ge...
Jeremy Pena Becoming Prime Trade Candidate; 5 Teams Linked by Insider
The Houston Astros won't be in their usual spot at the top of the AL West this season. It's time to rebuild the farm system and to do that, surrender some key pieces of their lineup. According to ESPN's Jeff Passan , a trade of shortstop Jeremy Pena seems like an inevitability. His changing of agents last year to Scott Boras pretty much sealed his fate as a future former-Astro. It puts Pena in the same position that Kyle Tucker was in two offseasons ago. And we know what happened there. ...
MLB Trade Rumors: Matt Chapman Linked To 3 Teams At Trade Deadline
The San Francisco Giants would like to be in sell mode. Specifically, on their big-name, big-money veterans. That would include Rafael Devers, Willy Adames and Matt Chapman. But according to insider Jeff Passan , only one of those three is realistically tradeable. " Nobody is taking Rafael Devers unless San Francisco pays down significantly the $211 million he is owed after this season or takes on bad contracts. The same goes for Willy Adames , whose defense has gone in the wrong directi...
MLB Rumors: Two Teams Emerging For Giants' Willy Adames
The San Francisco Giants are 31-43, 16.5 games behind the Dodgers in the NL West, and per Buster Olney of ESPN , open to offers on their three highest-paid position players, including shortstop Willy Adames. Adames is in the second year of a seven-year, $182 million contract, the largest deal in Giants history, and has struggled to live up to it. He is slashing .229/.274/.434 with 13 home runs, 31 RBIs, and a .708 OPS across 307 plate appearances this season, numbers that follow two underwhe...
Philadelphia Phillies Sign 9-Year Veteran Pitcher
The Philadelphia Phillies have re-signed a pitcher they know well. The Phillies signed left-hander Kolby Allard to a minor league deal, sending him to Triple-A Lehigh Valley to provide non-roster rotation depth. Allard pitched for Philadelphia in 2024, posting a 5.00 ERA across seven outings and four starts, before spending the last two seasons in the Cleveland organization. A Revolving Door in Cleveland The 28-year-old just opted out of a minor league deal with the Guardians, marking th...
MLB Trade Rumors: 8 Teams Linked To Byron Buxton At Trade Deadline
Byron Buxton signed a long-term contract with the Minnesota Twins that runs through the 2028 season. His name has come up many times in potential trade scenarios, but he has consistently said he is loyal to the Twins and doesn't want to go anywhere. And he has the no-trade protection to back it up. However, as insider Jeff Passan notes, " Buxton's loyalty to Minnesota is admirable, but at 32, he also wants to win, and the Twins aren't doing that this year. Barring a spending spree over the win...
Report: Baseball's 'Hottest Trade Candidate' Might Be Off The Market
He was a first-round pick in the 2020 MLB Draft. He pitched a no-hitter as a rookie in 2022. But Reid Detmers' career has been up-and-down since then (mostly down), and he hasn't settled into the ace's role that many foresaw for the left-hander. That could finally be changing in 2026. Detmers is on some kind of roll, with a 1.36 ERA in his last six starts, surrendering just 12 hits in 33 innings with a 39:5 strikeout to walk ratio. And it gets even better over his last three ...
MLB Rumors: NL Central Team Linked To Joe Ryan Trade
The St. Louis Cardinals were supposed to be retooling in 2026 after trading away Brendan Donovan, Willson Contreras, Sonny Gray, and Nolan Arenado over the winter. Instead, behind ascending young players like JJ Wetherholt, Jordan Walker, and Alec Burleson, they are firmly in the playoff picture, sitting in second place in the NL Central and within range of a Wild Card spot. That surprising success has created an unexpected question for new president of baseball operations Chaim Bloom: does ...
MLB Rumors: Shocking Team Linked To Aroldis Chapman
ESPN named the Pittsburgh Pirates among the best fits for Aroldis Chapman in a recent trade-deadline preview. Chapman has been one of the most dominant relievers in baseball this season, posting a 0.44 ERA, 14 saves, and 28 strikeouts across 21 appearances with the Boston Red Sox . ESPN's Kiley McDaniel and Jeff Passan put his odds of being traded before August 3 at 90 percent. Why Pittsburgh Needs Him The Pirates' bullpen has been one of the worst in baseball among contending teams this...
MLB Trade Rumors: Proposed Deal Would Send Freddy Peralta Back To The Brewers
Freddy Peralta is one of the most prime trade candidates out there this summer. He will not be extending with the Mets before the year is out, and is set to hit free agency in the offseason. And with New York continuing to flounder near the bottom of the NL, they would be foolish not to sell on one of the top starters that will be on the market. And what team knows better than the Milwaukee Brewers what Fastball Freddy can bring to the top of a rotation? With free agency pending th...
MLB Trade Rumors: Top 5 Hitters Most Likely On The Move as Trade Deadline Draws Closer
Yesterday, we had a look at the Top 10 pitchers who will be available at the trade deadline. Today, we give the offense its due, as we look at the top hitters on the trade block as we sit six weeks out from the August 3rd deadline. With the help of Jeff Passan of ESPN, we take a look at the Top 5 position players most likely to be on the move: Luis Arraez, San Francisco Giants — 90% chance of a trade, per Passan Ryan Jeffers, Minnesota Twins — 85% Gleyber Torres, Detroit Tigers — 80% Taylor Wa...
Giants Willing To Trade Star Players But Have One Firm Exception
The San Francisco Giants are 29-43, tied with the Los Angeles Angels for the second-worst record in baseball, and sitting nine games out of the third NL Wild Card spot. The franchise that spent nearly $600 million assembling a roster around Rafael Devers, Willy Adames, and Matt Chapman is now putting out feelers on all three of them. Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reported that the Giants have not fully committed to becoming sellers at the August 3 deadline but are moving closer to that det...
