Orioles Designate Chadwick Tromp For Assignment
The Orioles have designated catcher Chadwick Tromp for assignment, the team announced Friday. Newly acquired catcher Jake Rogers will take his spot on Baltimore’s active and 40-man roster. Tromp, 31, has bounced back and forth between the Braves and O’s for the past few seasons, serving as a defensive-minded backup in both Baltimore and Atlanta. […]
Brewers, Pirates Among Teams Interested In Luke Weaver
The Brewers and Pirates are among the many clubs who’ve shown interest in Mets right-hander Luke Weaver, per Will Sammon and Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic. Strong interest in Weaver should come as no surprise with the Mets entering the deadline as sellers and the veteran righty enjoying a dominant season. ESPN’s Jeff Passan suggested […]
Tigers Scratch Casey Mize From Friday Start
Tigers right-hander Casey Mize might’ve thrown his last pitch with the club. Detroit scratched him from his scheduled start tonight, according to multiple reports, including from Chris McCoskey of the Detroit News. The move preserves Mize’s health heading into Monday’s trade deadline. A deal is not in place, but holding Mize out signals that Detroit […]
Reds Getting Significant Interest In Hunter Greene
The Reds are drawing substantial interest in right-hander Hunter Greene, per reports from Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com and Buster Olney of ESPN. That’s not surprising given the combination of their seller status, Greene’s dominant results when healthy, and the right-hander’s club friendly contract. Robust interest hardly means a trade will […]
The Opener: Clemens, Seager, Peralta
Dodgers two-way star Shohei Ohtani was out of the starting nine on Thursday due to nagging knee issues. The injury is keeping him from pitching, but wasn’t supposed to knock him out of the lineup. Manager Dave Roberts told reporters that Ohtani will DH on Friday (h/t Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic). 1. Clemens slugs […]
Mets Trade A.J. Minter To Twins
The Twins added some needed bullpen help Friday morning, formally announcing the acquisition of left-hander A.J. Minter from the Mets in exchange for minor league infielders Billy Amick and Bruin Agbayani. Right-hander Cole Sands, who’s set to undergo season-ending elbow surgery, moves from the 15-day IL to the 60-day IL to create a spot on […]
Which Teams Can Make A Mason Miller Offer The Padres Will Like?
One of the most talked-about trade candidates this summer has been Mason Miller of the Padres. Actually lining up a trade that makes sense is a challenge for a few reasons. For one thing, the Padres aren’t clear sellers. A recent five-game win streak has pushed their record to 55-53. They are the top National […]
Latest Chatter On Tarik Skubal
Tarik Skubal is going to dominate baseball’s headlines for the next few days. The two-time reigning AL Cy Young winner may have made his final start in a Detroit uniform yesterday. The Tigers squandered a 7-0 lead and find themselves 6.5 games back in the AL Central and 4.5 out in the Wild Card standings. […]
Twins’ Cole Sands To Undergo Elbow Surgery
Twins right-hander Cole Sands is headed for surgery to remove loose bodies and bone spurs from his right elbow, reports Dan Hayes of The Athletic. He’s expected to miss the rest of the season. Sands will also get a platelet-rich plasma injection as part of the procedure. It’s been a tough sequence of events for […]
Nationals Notes: Abrams, Bullpen, Parker
The Nationals are juggling various possibilities as the deadline approaches. Washington is one game above .500 and enters a difficult series in Atlanta two games back in a crowded NL Wild Card field. They’re ahead of schedule in the rebuild and have arguably MLB’s best offense, but the pitching staff is the worst of any […]
Padres, Diamondbacks Scouting Freddy Peralta
The list of teams monitoring Mets right-hander Freddy Peralta now includes the Padres and Diamondbacks. Both clubs had scouts at Citi Field when Peralta faced the Dodgers on Sunday, per Will Sammon of The Athletic. The Rays, Brewers, and Phillies are among the teams known to also be in on Peralta. Manager Andy Green told […]
Giants Open To Covering Part Of Robbie Ray’s Salary In Trade
The Giants are all but guaranteed to move the impending free agent trio of Luis Arraez, Robbie Ray and Tyler Mahle within the next four days. They’d surely flip reliever JT Brubaker if they can drum up interest. Arraez and Ray are their most notable rental trade chips, though finding a taker for the latter is complicated by […]
Astros To Release J.P. France
The Astros are moving on from right-hander J.P. France, per Chandler Rome of The Athletic. The veteran has spent most of the season at Triple-A. France struggled in three games with the Astros in April. He was designated for assignment and passed through waivers after a brief stint in the majors. Houston added France to […]
Cardinals To Select Quinn Mathews
The Cardinals announced that left-hander Quinn Mathews will start Saturday’s game. He will be making his major league debut in the process. He is not yet on the 40-man roster, so the Cards will need to add him. The roster is currently full, so they will need to open a spot between now and then. […]
Orioles Acquire Jake Rogers From Tigers
The Orioles have added catching depth, landing catcher Jake Rogers in a deal with the Tigers. Baltimore is sending minor league righty Zane Barnhart back to Detroit. Both teams have announced the trade. Rogers was designated for assignment on Tuesday. The 31-year-old Rogers spent parts of six big-league seasons with Detroit. He never provided much […]
Cubs Have Discussed Carson Kelly In Trade Talks
Though the Cubs are approaching the deadline looking to add to the roster, they’ve also discussed catcher Carson Kelly with some of the many clubs who are seeking catching upgrades this summer, ESPN’s Jeff Passan reports. Chicago has a well-regarded catching prospect, Owen Ayers, on the cusp of the majors and a solid backup in […]
MLB Mailbag: Phillies, Hancock, Padres, Prospects, Sellers
This week’s MLB Mailbag will feature questions on the Phillies’ myriad needs and thin farm system, who the Mariners could target if they’re really going to move Emerson Hancock, the Padres’ rotation needs, some post-deadline prospects to watch and some areas of need for current sellers to target on the trade market. (Note: Some questions […]
Phillies Interested In Daulton Varsho
The Phillies are interested in Blue Jays outfielder Daulton Varsho, reports Jon Heyman of The New York Post. Earlier today, Jon Morosi of MLB Network reported that the two clubs are emerging as potential trade partners, mentioning that Varsho, Kevin Gausman, Shane Bieber, Jeff Hoffman and George Springer could be fits for the Phils. Jeff […]
Athletics Claim Connor Thomas
The Athletics announced that they have claimed left-hander Connor Thomas off waivers from the Braves. Right-hander Mark Leiter Jr. was transferred to the 60-day injured list as a corresponding move. There wasn’t any previous indication that Thomas had been designated for assignment by Atlanta but they apparently tried to quietly sneak him through waivers. Their […]
Yankees, Braves, Rangers Among Teams Looking For Right-Handed Outfielder
Right-handed bats are at a premium this deadline. The Mariners and Phillies were already known to be looking for help against lefty pitching, but there’s ample competition for righty-hitting outfielders in particular. Jorge Castillo of ESPN and Bryan Hoch of MLB.com each report that the Yankees have been seeking a right-handed hitting outfielder — a […]
Orioles Open To Moving Righty Bullpen Arm
The Orioles completed a seven-run comeback to take two of three from the Tigers on Wednesday. They’re off today and will play a three-game set against the Phillies this weekend as the lead-up to the deadline. Baltimore sits three games under .500 at 53-56 but find themselves in the muddled AL Wild Card picture. They’re […]
Rangers Place Jakob Junis On Injured List
The Rangers announced that right-hander Jakob Junis has been placed on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to July 29, with a left adductor strain. Right-hander Winston Santos has been recalled in a corresponding move. It’s unclear how serious the injury is or how much time Junis is expected to miss. Either way, it’s a notable […]
Royals Focused Primarily On Moving Rental Players
The Royals are obvious deadline sellers, but their efforts over the next few days will focus primarily on trading players on expiring contracts, reports Mark Feinsand of MLB.com. Feinsand quotes an executive with another club who indicates that Kansas City plans on trying to contend next season and hasn’t been keen on discussing players signed/controlled […]
Tigers To Promote Max Clark
The Tigers are calling up top outfield prospect Max Clark, reports Emily Waldon of Baseball America and Just Baseball Media. Clark, the No. 3 overall pick in the 2023 draft, currently ranks as the No. 16 prospect in the game on BA’s newly updated Top 100 list. He’s not on the 40-man roster and will […]
Ten Controllable Bullpen Trade Candidates
Almost every contender will be involved in the bullpen market over the next five days. Trade prices for relief pitching are accordingly high every deadline season. There are plenty of obvious trade candidates who we’ve discussed for weeks at MLBTR (e.g. Luke Weaver, Brooks Raley, Antonio Senzatela). Most of them are within a year or two of […]
