July showed that the White Sox can handle pressure without breaking. Although a 13-12 record jeopardized their standing as the AL Central’s leader, the Sox came out of one of the most testing months with one series sweep, three series wins, and two ties against a much more competitive AL East and a few opponents […]
The trade deadline has passed, but not without its customary flurry of moves in the final hour.

Good morning. Shawn McFarland writes that the Texas Rangers played the team that perhaps sold most at the deadline and they committed five errors while nearly getting shut out in their sixth consecutive loss.

The biggest winners from the 2026 MLB trade deadline.
As Arizona Cardinals training camp keeps rolling, certain players are a certainty to be released at some point. Sometimes, coaches will wait until they see the athletes in a live situation, such as a preseason game, before they cut them loose. In other instances, the coaches haven’t seen enough to keep the player. So, the […]
Five pitches into Monday’s Cubs/Dodgers game at Wrigley Field, the visitors from L.A. had a 3-0 lead on two singles and a homer by Tommy Edman, who has now hit 16 home runs in 74 career games against the Cubs. Watching this, you’re like “What just happened?” Not only did the Cubs not quit after […]
The MLB Trade Deadline is weird. To the extent player talent gives you any kind of definitive advantage, it needs to be present over a large-enough sample to drown out the effects of everything else. However, by the time the Trade Deadline rolls around, you end up right around that point where even if you […]
The 2026 MLB trade deadline has come and gone and now we’re left to take stock of where everything stands. The Phillies were active as expected, as they acquired Luis Arraez and Caleb Kilian from the San Francisco Giants in addition to adding Brooks Raley from the New York Mets. In exchange, the team shipped […]
Mike Elias was hired in November of 2018 to rejuvenate an Orioles franchise that had become the laughing stock of Major League Baseball. After nearly eight years mostly spent pretending that the Orioles were on the cusp of real success, Elias just proved how truly large his failure has been by trading Adley Rutschman to […]

So, it wasn’t surprising when Sportico reported on […] The post Fact Check: Did the WNBA Drop ‘USA 250’ All-Star Patch After Brianna Turner Publicly Objected? appeared first on EssentiallyS...

Detroit Tigers president of baseball operations Scott Harris says he felt it would have been "irresponsible" not to trade ace Tarik Skubal the day before the MLB trade deadline.
Obviously, the news broke yesterday and one of the biggest benefits of making a trade with a team playing in your stadium is that the results are instantaneous. However, performance happens over the long haul. As much as I love wins above replacement, I will jettison those numbers and instead focus on its components. We […]
The Detroit Tigers got a breather after sweeping the Athletics in Sacramento last weekend, pulling them to within four games of .500. Along the way, the trade deadline happened, with Tarik Skubal and Casey Mize being shipped out to help restock the farm. Next up for the Motor City Kitties on their nine-game West Coast […]
It was a disappointing trade deadline for the New York Yankees. The team did not add any major players, making just three moves overall. This has led to frustration with GM Brian Cashman among Yankees fans. While Yankees fans may be upset with the lack of movement from the team, they can be excited about […] The post Yankees call up top prospect after disappointing trade deadline appeared first on ClutchPoints .
Kudos to Jed Hoyer for his most impactful trade deadline since he broke up the Cubs’ World Series core back in 2021. The Cubs added three starters, a backend reliever, and a backup outfielder. Additionally, Hoyer’s moves added much-needed length to Chicago’s bullpen because Javier Assad and Colin Rea can slide into swing roles.

Now that the Major League Baseball trade deadline has come and gone, the focus shifts from speculation to evaluation. And from where I sit, it’s hard not to view the Astros’ deadline as a massive disappointment. If the reports are true that Dana Brown could be on his way out at the end of the […]
Francis Mauigoa has only had one padded practice, but the Giants are already hearing the right things from their rookie guard.
Jasson Dominguez is headed back to Triple-A, and the timing says plenty about his place in the Yankees' plans.
This week, Gabe and I talk about the Cardinals’ recent 3-7 stretch that the team has continued to endure out of the All-Star break; we also play everyone’s favorite game of “stay or go” with all of the primary names being discussed before Monday’s deadline; finally, we finish up with a destination for 1 Cardinals […]
The 2026 Major League Baseball trade deadline came and went on Monday, and the New York Yankees didn’t do enough in the eyes of some evaluators. New York added slugger Luis Garcia Jr. in a trade with the Washington Nationals on Sunday and acquired outfielder Heliot Ramos in a deal with the San Francisco Giants…
Were they necessarily the Trade Deadline moves that fans wanted or even predicted? Not really; catcher is still a concern and the bullpen blew up last night’s stirring rally. Still, one can’t pin complete complacency on the Yankees front office, which, in the end, went out there and acquired multiple pieces to boost their playoff […]
Meet the Mets The trade deadline came and went yesterday, and the Mets were very busy.
