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...
Freddy Peralta Scratched From Start For Trade Purposes

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. Of that group, Kittredge is the only pending free agent. Why Cano Stands Out Cano appears to be the most coveted name of the four. Cano has rebound...
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. "They aren't particularly motivated to trade him, but barring a trade of De La Cruz, a move involving Greene might be their best chance to make an impact at the deadline," Rosenthal wrote. 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. Their first gamble on this front, this past week, has fallen flat, as they sent promising young left-handed starter Connelly Early to the Washington Nationals for infielder Curtis Mead. 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...
Marlins Fielding Trade Offers On Several Players Before Deadline
The Miami Marlins are approaching the August 3 trade deadline willing to listen, and the names they are open to moving may surprise people. Per Ken Rosenthal, Will Sammon, and Katie Woo of The Athletic , the Marlins are fielding offers on several controllable position players, sensing an opportunity to sell high on a group having strong seasons. The list is notable for who is on it and who is not. Who's Available Miami is willing to listen on infielders Otto Lopez and Xavier Edwards, cat...
Cardinals Shopping Breakout Starter Ahead Of Deadline
The St. Louis Cardinals are "actively exploring" trade offers for right hander Dustin May ahead of the August 3 deadline. Per Derrick Goold of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch , with similar framing reported by Will Sammon, Ken Rosenthal and Katie Woo of The Athletic , May has become one of the more sought after arms on the summer market. 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...
Angels & Rangers Pull Off 1st Notable Trade Of Deadline Week
The Los Angeles Angels are the first big sellers at this trade deadline, but it isn’t the names that you would’ve expected. The Angels have traded catcher Logan O’Hoppe & pitcher Chase Silseth to the Texas Rangers. Trade news: The Texas Rangers are acquiring right-handed reliever Chase Silseth and catcher Logan O’Hoppe from the Los Angeles Angels, sources tell ESPN. — Jeff Passan (@JeffPassan) July 30, 2026 In exchange, the Angels get minor-league SS Angel Arredondo. The young infielder ...
Orioles Have Had Conversations On Three Surprising Names
The Baltimore Orioles have had a disappointing season, and it appears nearly no one on the roster is off-limits as the August 3 deadline nears. Per Jeff Passan of ESPN , the Orioles have had trade conversations with other teams involving catcher Adley Rutschman, infielder Jackson Holliday, and outfielder Colton Cowser. 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 ...
MLB Trade Rumors: Yankees Eyeing 3-Time All-Star As Latest Trade Target
The New York Yankees are in desperate need of a lineup boost. Their offense has gone into a historic swoon since Aaron Judge went on the injured list on June 1st. They're 29th in batting average, 30th in OBP, 24th in slugging pct., 27th in OPS, 27th in OPS+ and 26th in runs scored. And one of the spots where the biggest gains could be had is behind the plate. They've gotten only a .553 OPS out of their catchers. To that end, they've been linked quite a bit to Ryan Jeffers of the Minneso...
Rays Aiming High With Interest In 3 Big Name Players
The Tampa Bay Rays are in the thick of the American League playoff race, and they are setting their sights high as the August 3 deadline approaches. Tampa Bay has expressed interest in a trio of impact names: Los Angeles Angels shortstop Zach Neto, New York Mets right-hander Freddy Peralta, and Detroit Tigers ace Tarik Skubal. The ambition is notable for a small-market club that typically operates on the margins of the trade market. Zach Neto Neto would be the splashy position-player add...
Colorado Rockies Listening on 7 Players At Trade Deadline
The Colorado Rockies find themselves in a familiar spot as we approach the trade deadline next week. Last place. As every year, they are taking a lot of calls from teams around the league who are looking to pick over whatever the Rockies are willing to make available. And while Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports that most likely they will not be moving their slugging catcher Hunter Goodman (" I have heard both ways on Goodman, including from multiple officials that he is not reall...
Reid Detmers Could Head To 1 of 2 Central Div. Contenders
The MLB trade deadline is now less than a week away, and rumors are ramping up. The problem this season is that there aren't many out-and-out sellers on the market, with so many teams, especially in the American League, still in the running for a Wild Card spot. But one team that shouldn't have any problem identifying their lot in life is the LA Angels. They are dead last in the AL and tied for last in the entire majors, with a 42-65 mark. The only thing is, the Angels have been notorious "h...
Twins Take Two Huge Names Off Trade Block
The Minnesota Twins have changed course, and their two biggest trade chips are no longer going anywhere. Per Ken Rosenthal on Foul Territory, Byron Buxton and Joe Ryan are likely to stay put, as the Twins have pivoted from potential sellers to buyers thanks to a surprising climb into the American League playoff race. "I don't expect them to trade Joe Ryan. I don't expect them to trade Byron Buxton," Rosenthal said. "Their new control person, Tom Pohlad, has been pretty vocal about wanting to...
Mariners Intensifying Luis Castillo Trade Talks
The Seattle Mariners have made it clear they are willing to deal from their greatest strength, and Luis Castillo has emerged as the pitcher most likely to be moved before the August 3 deadline. Per Ryan Divish and Adam Jude of MLB.com, the Mariners are listening on Castillo and right-hander Emerson Hancock, with a growing possibility that at least one of them is moved before Monday. Castillo would be the preference, though he presents the more complicated situation of the two. Why Seattle ...
Report: Surprising Development For Tigers & Tarik Skubal
Will they or won't they? The Detroit Tigers are on the periphery of the Wild Card chase in the American League after a strong two months. So what about the constant trade rumors of two-time defending AL Cy Young winner Tarik Skubal? The Tigers would lose the pending free agent for nothing if they don't trade him by next week's deadline. But what if they're still going for a playoff spot? Insider Bob Nightengale tells us of a surprising development surrounding the whole saga: Some rival G...
$68M Starting Pitcher DFA'd For 1st Time in 10-Year Career
With an $18 million salary this season, 10-year veteran starter Jameson Taillon didn't expect his 2026 to go this way. But the Chicago Cubs have seen enough of his 5.92 ERA, and have designated him for assignment. Jameson Taillon has been DFA'd by the Cubs pic.twitter.com/It9HFc8QXR — Talkin' Baseball (@TalkinBaseball_) July 27, 2026 It's the first DFA of Taillon's career after a decade in the majors.

White Sox Acquire Starting Pitcher From Pirates
The surprising Chicago White Sox continued to add pitching depth, acquiring right-hander Jose Urquidy from the Pittsburgh Pirates . The deal sends minor league right-hander Felix Doroteo to Pittsburgh in return. The Pirates had designated Urquidy for assignment on Friday, and because he remained within the seven-day window, he was still eligible to be traded rather than being outrighted or released. Why Chicago Made The Move The White Sox have been one of baseball's best stories, improvi...
Brewers DFA Former All-Star After Just 2 Appearances
The Milwaukee Brewers were looking to bolster their pitching staff for the stretch run 11 days ago when they executed a trade with the Houston Astros for nine-year veteran Lance McCullers. But after watching him pitch for them just twice, the Brew Crew have bid adieu to him, designating him for assignment. It's the first DFA of McCullers' career.

Red Sox & Nationals Swap Exciting Young Major Leaguers in Surprising Trade

3 Top Trade Landing Spots for Hunter Goodman
The Colorado Rockies, as always, are bringing up the rear in the National League West Division. But one player who certainly has not disappointed is catcher Hunter Goodman. Now a two-time All-Star, the 26-year-old backstop leads the NL in slugging, at .559. His 31 homers match his total for last season, with more than two months still to play. His name has been mentioned on the rumor mill as a special trade piece the Rockies could wield at the deadline, but it says here they'd be insane ...
Blue Jays' George Springer Heads to Red Sox In Proposed Deal
George Springer is not having a great send-off season in the final year of his contract with the Toronto Blue Jays. The 36-year-old has had a dreadful season, batting just .229 with a .708 OPS and just 11 homers. Not quite the way he wants to go into free agency. Nevertheless, teams will remember his heroic playoff performances in his career (including his clutch HR in last year's epic Game 7 of the ALCS ). And he reminded Jays fans and rival teams (and the Boston Red Sox, in...
3 Trade Landing Spots For Tigers' Casey Mize
While the deadline spotlight shines on Tarik Skubal, another pending free agent in the Detroit rotation has quietly become one of the most enticing trade options available. Casey Mize is having a career year, carrying a 2.79 ERA with the best whiff rate, strikeout rate, and hard-hit rate of his career, eight years after the Tigers took him No. 1 overall in the 2018 draft. He recently threw a one-hitter with 10 strikeouts and no walks over seven scoreless innings against the Yankees. Per ES...
