The dust has settled, and the hard trade deadline is over. There were some big trades this year. There were some notable non-trades this year, too—we’ll get to that, later. Kansas City was quiet, though, with only a handful of deals completed. Let’s grade the ones that they did, and one that they didn’t do. […]
While nearly every other MLB team made moves at the 2026 MLB trade deadline to boost its present and future, the Athletics sat on the sidelines, unwilling to shake up a roster that is staring down a fifth straight losing season.

While Yankees fans, in general, liked the addition of Luis García Jr. on Sunday — after all, who can say no to the third-highest slugging percentage in baseball — they were eager for more.

Andrew Baggarly just described today’s activity as “frenetic,” and he’s right. The past two trade deadlines have been practically Zaidian for Buster Posey, Zack Minasian, and the San Francisco Giants. For as much as the franchise has oversteered from the 2019-2024 days, the new regime is a lot like the old one in that no […]
The Padres face the reality that Michael King will not be able to start all 50 remaining games.
While Mike Trout has been mentioned in trade rumors over the years, the idea of the Los Angeles Angels trading him still seems unrealistic. Trout is the face of the franchise and he also has a no-trade clause. So when Trout wasn’t moved before Monday’s MLB trade deadline, it was not especially surprising. After the deadline, […]
