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...

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...
Los Angeles Dodgers DFA Former All-Star Infielder
The Los Angeles Dodgers designated Santiago Espinal for assignment for the second time in less than a month, with manager Dave Roberts announcing the move as the corresponding transaction for Tommy Edman's activation off the 60-day injured list.

Milwaukee Brewers DFA Former .300 Hitter
After a solid run with the Los Angeles Angels for several years as a versatile and productive utility man, infielder Luis Rengifo had a tough season in 2025, and hit free agency, where the Halos let him walk. The Milwaukee Brewers decided to take a flyer on the former .300 hitter, handing him a $3.5 million deal for the 2026 season, but it just hasn't worked out. Now they've designated him for assignment. Luis Rengifo to be designated for assignment by the Brewers, per @ragazzorepo...
MLB Rumors: Yankees & Angels Linked To Trade
Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton, and Trent Grisham are all currently on the New York Yankees ' injured list. A recent lineup featured Spencer Jones, Cody Bellinger, and Jasson Dominguez as the outfield trio, which is a combination that is functional but falls well short of what a team with World Series expectations should be running out there every day. FanSided's Pinstripe Alley identified Jo Adell of the Los Angeles Angels as the most logical and aggressive trade target the Yankees could ...
MLB Rumors: Would Giants Trade Logan Webb?
The San Francisco Giants are 29-43, 16 games back in the NL West, and per Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic, moving toward selling at the August 3 trade deadline. Logan Webb is not part of that conversation. Rosenthal reported that the Giants have zero plans to part with their ace, with one source telling him flatly that Webb is simply their guy and they want to win at some point in the near future. That organizational conviction has been tested by what Webb has done since returning from the...
Padres' Pitcher Handed Multi-Game Suspension For Beanball On Gunnar Henderson
A wild sequence of events has led to a multi-game suspension for San Diego Padres reliever Ron Marinaccio. He gets three games for hitting Baltimore Orioles' shortstop Gunnar Henderson with a pitch in the 9th inning of a game this past weekend. Henderson was targeted on three separate occasions in the game by two different pitchers before finally getting beaned. And the umpires had seen enough. And there it is: Craig Stammen suspended for 1 game following incident Saturday in which Ron Ma...
Angels Lefty Becomes A Significant Trade Chip At Deadline
The Los Angeles Angels will be looked at as sellers as we approach the MLB trade deadline later this summer. They're bringing up the rear in the entire American League, at 29-43. One of the Halos' top trade chips will undoubtedly be southpaw Reid Detmers. He's on a heater, boosting his trade value significantly, and as noted by insider Bob Nightengale of USA Today, teams are noticing. Los Angeles Angels left-handed starter Reid Detmers is starting to pick up plenty of tractio...
MLB Rumors: AL East Team To Check On Tarik Skubal Trade
The New York Yankees are on top of the AL East and have the best starting rotation in the AL right now. They are still checking on Tarik Skubal. Jeff Passan of ESPN reported that the Yankees will gauge the cost of Skubal if and when the Detroit Tigers formally place him on the trade block, adding that the rental nature of the deal does not deter New York given that his prorated salary of approximately $10 million for the remainder of the season will not be an impediment. Skubal had a 2.7...

MLB Trade Rumors: Phillies Linked To Big Deals With Cubs & Angels

Report: Significant Development On Bo Bichette's Future With Mets
It was a huge free agent signing for the New York Mets last winter. Just when it appeared that Bo Bichette was about to go to the heated division rival Philadelphia Phillies, the Mets poached the star infielder with a ridiculous $42 million average salary on a three-year deal. But it seems like it'll be a one-and-done for Bichette with the Mets, as insider Bob Nightengal e reports that he will exercise his opt-out after the season and hit the market again looking for a much longer-term d...
MLB Trade Rumors: White Sox Linked To 4 Pitchers On Trade Market
Was that the Chicago White Sox tied for first place in the American League Central Division coming into the weekend? Yes, the same team that lost 100 games in each of the previous three seasons is staging a miraculous Cinderella season in 2026, with a 37-32 record, far above expectations. But they shouldn't take their foot off the gas, and should certainly be buyers at the trade deadline — within reason. To that end, Christopher Kline of Fansided has proposed four trade targets to bolste...
Phillies & Twins Linked To Blockbuster Trade
The Philadelphia Phillies have been named Byron Buxton's best trade destination ahead of the August 3 deadline. Buxton is hitting .259 with 20 home runs, an .888 OPS, and gold glove-caliber center field defense in 2026. The Phillies are 27-27, struggling to climb back above .500 after a brutal start, and desperately short of right-handed power in their outfield following the Adolis Garcia disappointment. He would slot directly into the cleanup spot or third in their order, become the eve...
