Marlins Have Extremely High Asking Price On Otto Lopez
Talks between the Red Sox and Marlins on shortstop Otto Lopez didn’t go anywhere and are “dead” at this point, Sean McAdam of MassLive.com reports. McAdam adds that the Fish are understandably seeking a package headlined by “elite” prospect(s) in order to part with the remaining three-plus seasons of control on Lopez, who leads the […]
Orioles’ Colin Selby Undergoes Season-Ending Surgery; Ryan Mountcastle Suffers Oblique Strain
Colin Selby‘s 2026 season will end without a single pitch thrown, as Orioles president of baseball operations Mike Elias told reporters (including Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com) yesterday that Selby underwent surgery on his right labrum and rotator cuff earlier this week. The recovery period will keep Selby on the injured list into the 2027 season. […]

The Brewers and Guardians have lined up on a two-for-two swap that will see outfielder Blake Perkins and right-hander Craig Yoho sent to Cleveland. Milwaukee receives catcher Bo Naylor and right-hander Codi Heuer in return. Jon Heyman of the New York Post was the first to report the trade and the involvement of Naylor, Heuer, […]
The Opener: Trade Buzz, Clark, Astros
The Red Sox earned a 9-4 win over the Dodgers last night, finishing off a dream month that saw the team go 21-4. This .840 win percentage in July was the best in any month in Boston’s 126-year franchise history. Ace Yoshinobu Yamamoto takes the mound for Los Angeles today to try and slow the […]
Reds Getting Significant Interest In Hunter Greene
TODAY: The Reds “are now telling teams that…Greene is no longer available,” USA Today’s Bob Nightengale writes. This may close the door on the possibility of Greene being moved at least by the deadline. JULY 31: The Reds are drawing substantial interest in right-hander Hunter Greene, per reports from Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic, Mark […]
Orioles Trade Dean Kremer To Twins
The Orioles and Twins announced a trade sending starting pitcher Dean Kremer to Minnesota in exchange for outfield prospect Jhomnardo Reyes. Minnesota transferred starter Mike Paredes to the 60-day injured list to open a spot on the 40-man roster. Paredes just landed on the IL with an oblique strain and will be out until at […]
Will Vest Undergoing Season-Ending Surgeries
The Tigers will be without one of their late-game relievers for the rest of the season. Righty Will Vest underwent surgery to address a stress fracture in his elbow this week, the team informed reporters (including Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic). Vest will also undergo a future operation on his hip. It concludes a frustrating […]
Blue Jays Expected To Move Rentals, Open To Adding Players Controlled Beyond 2026
The Blue Jays took a 3-1 series opener over the Cardinals tonight. That combined with another Cleveland loss moved them within 4.5 games of the AL’s final Wild Card spot. They’d need to surpass six teams and are still eight games under .500, however, so a deadline sale seems prudent. That’s likely to be the […]
Astros, Braden Shewmake Agree To Minor League Deal
Infielder Braden Shewmake is back with the Astros. The two sides agreed to a minor league contract earlier today, the team announced. The Excel Sports client elected free agency a few days ago after being designated for assignment by the Brewers and clearing waivers. It’ll be Shewmake’s second stint with Houston this season. The former […]
Gausman: No Extension Talks With Jays
Right-hander Kevin Gausman has been open this month about his affinity for Toronto and the bittersweet concept of potentially being traded to a contender. He became choked up talking to reporters about the scenario earlier this month, detailing the conflicting emotions of falling in love with the city but also wanting another opportunity to contend […]
Dodgers Place Brock Stewart On Injured List
The Dodgers placed reliever Brock Stewart on the 15-day injured list with right shoulder discomfort. Los Angeles selected left-hander Cole Irvin onto the big league roster to take his bullpen spot. Righty Chayce McDermott was designated for assignment to open a spot for Irvin on the 40-man roster. Any shoulder injury for Stewart raises alarm given […]
Guardians Sign Ryan Borucki To Minor League Deal
The Guardians signed veteran left-handed reliever Ryan Borucki to a minor league contract, per Tim Stebbins of MLB.com. The ISE client was released by the Giants back in early June. He hasn’t pitched in a game setting in a couple months. It’s common for pitchers in this situation to head to a lower level affiliate […]
Giants “Suspending Payment” To Harrison Bader After Scooter Accident
8:17pm: Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports that there are “long-term concerns” about the state of Bader’s foot. 7:03pm: The Giants announced they will suspend payments to Harrison Bader after the outfielder reinjured his left foot over the weekend in a scooter accident. Neither Bader nor the MLB Players Association has yet commented. “Over […]
Astros Move Tatsuya Imai To Bullpen
The Astros are moving Tatsuya Imai to the bullpen beginning with this weekend’s series against Texas, manager Joe Espada told reporters (link via Chandler Rome of The Athletic). Houston has not yet announced a starter for Sunday’s series finale in what would have been Imai’s turn. The decision comes after Imai failed to escape the first […]
Tigers Designate Andre Granillo For Assignment
The Tigers announced that they have selected the contract of outfielder Max Clark, as move that was reported earlier this week. Fellow outfielder Matt Vierling has been placed on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to July 30, with a left adductor strain. That opens an active roster spot for Clark. To open a 40-man spot, […]
Orioles Sign Yennier Cano To Extension
The Orioles announced that they have signed right-hander Yennier Cano to a two-year contract extension for the 2027 and 2028 seasons with a 2029 club option. He will reportedly be paid $2.75MM next year and $4.75MM in 2028, while the club option is worth $10MM. Cano was under arbitration control through 2028, so this deal […]
Athletics Designate Chen Zhong-Ao Zhuang For Assignment
The Athletics announced that they have selected the contract of infielder Jonathan Ornelas, a move that MLBTR covered earlier. To open an active roster spot, outfielder Colby Thomas has been optioned to Triple-A Las Vegas. In a corresponding 40-man move, right-hander Chen Zhong-Ao Zhuang has been designated for assignment. Zhuang, 25, was an international signing […]
Brewers Designate Thomas Pannone For Assignment
The Brewers announced that left-hander DL Hall has been reinstated from the 15-day injured list. In a corresponding move, fellow lefty Thomas Pannone has been designated for assignment. The club’s 40-man roster count drops from 39 to 38. Pannone, 32, was just added to the roster two days ago. He started Wednesday’s contest and allowed […]
Astros Showing Interest In Lars Nootbaar
The Astros have interest in Cardinals left fielder Lars Nootbaar, reports Chandler Rome of The Athletic. That’s about as unsurprising a link as there’ll be this summer, as Houston has been searching for a reliable lefty-hitting outfielder for more than a year. GM Dana Brown walked back the handedness aspect a little over the weekend but […]
Yankees, Phillies, Rangers, Guardians Interested In Taylor Ward
Orioles outfielder Taylor Ward is emerging as a notable trade chip ahead of Monday’s deadline. Ken Rosenthal and Jayson Stark of The Athletic report that the Yankees, Phillies, Rangers and Guardians are showing interest in him. Like many teams, the Orioles are in a tricky spot where they are not clear buyers or sellers. They […]
Latest On Mason Miller, Adrián Morejón
Fans and front offices around the game are dreaming of adding Padres closer Mason Miller in a deadline blockbuster, but multiple reports Friday have cast a deal as increasingly unlikely. ESPN’s Jeff Passan tells Jake Mintz and Jordan Schusterman of the Baseball Bar-B-Cast that Padres president of baseball operations is approaching Miller inquiries with the […]
Red Sox Open To Moving Jarren Duran
The Red Sox are open to moving Jarren Duran before Monday’s deadline, reports Julian McWilliams of CBS Sports. While Boston’s recent 15-game win streak vaulted them into clear buyers, their left fielder has had a poor season and is a change of scenery candidate. Duran is hitting .195/.252/.337 while striking out at a 29% clip […]
Rangers Designate Marco Gonzales For Assignment
The Rangers announced that shortstop Corey Seager has been reinstated from the 10-day injured list, as expected. They also recalled right-hander Luis Curvelo and activated righty Chase Silseth, who was just acquired from the Angels. In corresponding moves for those three, they have optioned infielder Josh Smith and righty Winston Santos while lefty Marco Gonzales […]
Angels Promote Luke Murphy
July 31: The Angels have made it officially, announcing they selected Murphy’s contract today. July 30: The Angels will select reliever Luke Murphy onto the MLB roster, reports Taylor Blake Ward of Baseball America. The Halos are off today and probably won’t officially announce the move until tomorrow. They have an open bullpen spot after […]
Brewers Willing To Pay Remainder Of Salary In Potential Skubal Trade
Amid ample speculation about the Brewers making a play for reigning two-time AL Cy Young Award winner Tarik Skubal, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports that owner Mark Attanasio would be willing to take on the entire remainder of Skubal’s $32MM salary. As of this writing, that’d mean about $9.8MM. By deadline day, the number […]
