Trade Deadline Outlook: Arizona Diamondbacks
Since their World Series appearance in 2023, the Diamondbacks have been hovering in a borderline contender zone. They had a strong season in 2024, as their win total of 89 was actually a five-game improvement over the year prior, but just missed the playoffs. Last year, an awful July pushed them into sell mode, with […]
Brewers Designate Braden Shewmake For Assignment
The Brewers announced that infielder David Hamilton has been reinstated from the 10-day injured list. Fellow infielder Braden Shewmake has been designated for assignment in a corresponding move. Shewmake was just acquired from the Astros in a cash deal less than two weeks ago. Hamilton had landed on the IL a few days prior due […]
Reds Not Planning Rebuild, Aiming To Retool For 2027
The Reds enter the 2026 trade deadline looking like one of the game’s few clear sellers. Cincinnati sits 47-54, placing them 16.5 games behind the Brewers in the National League Central. They’re technically only six games out in the Wild Card race, but they’d need to leapfrog six teams to grab a share of the […]
Rawlings Baseball Gloves: The GOLD Standard of MLB (Sponsored)
When the brightest stars in the sport consistently choose one brand, it speaks volumes. In the 2026 MLB All-Star Game, Rawlings once again proved why it remains the undisputed leader in glove craftsmanship. An impressive 49% of all All-Star players donned Rawlings gloves on the field, with even higher numbers among AL starters—50% of American […]
Angels Hoping To Add Young Catcher
The Angels once again enter the deadline as clear sellers — this time with a new general manager at the helm. Longtime Cardinals president John Mozeliak is running the Halos’ front office on an interim basis after Perry Minasian’s firing last month, and one of the areas on which he’s focused is bringing in a […]
The Opener: Carroll, Yankees’ Rotation, Rangers/Mariners
Tigers lefty Tarik Skubal, the biggest trade chip on the market, will be on the mound tonight against the Royals. If the schedule holds, he’ll make one more start before the deadline. 1.

Mariners Reportedly Willing To Trade Emerson Hancock
The Mariners are looking for more offense and are apparently willing to subtract from their rotation in order to do it. Ken Rosenthal and Will Sammon of The Athletic report that the M’s are telling teams they are willing to trade right-hander Emerson Hancock. Despite a lackluster 51-52 record, Seattle is just half a game […]
Latest On Phillies’ Rotation Search
On June 17, the Phillies optioned rookie right-hander Andrew Painter to Triple-A.

They haven’t found a deal in the subsequent five weeks. […]
A’s, Jonathan Ornelas Agree To Minor League Deal

The 26-year-old opted out of a minor league deal with the Yankees last week. Ornelas had spent the season with New York’s top affiliate in Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. He had a nice year, hitting .299/.362/.480 […]
Red Sox Have Interest In Zach Neto
The Red Sox are interested in Angels shortstop Zach Neto, report Ken Rosenthal and Will Sammon of The Athletic. They report that Boston also checked in with the Angels about Neto last offseason, though those preliminary conversations didn’t progress to the point where the sides actually discussed trade frameworks. There was no indication that Neto […]
Mariners Fire Assistant Hitting Coach Bobby Magallanes
The Mariners dismissed assistant hitting coach Bobby Magallanes on Thursday afternoon (link via Adam Jude of The Seattle Times).

The M’s hired him in tandem with their hiring of hitting […]
White Sox Looking For Catching Help
The White Sox are seeking a catcher on the trade market, report Ken Rosenthal and Will Sammon of The Athletic. That comes in response to losing Kyle Teel to a left ankle sprain earlier this week.

Brewers Have Checked In On Tarik Skubal, Mason Miller

MLB Mailbag: Blue Jays, Starting Pitchers, White Sox, Giants, Pirates, Royals
This week’s MLB Mailbag will tackle questions on a potential (likely?) deadline sell-off for the Jays, the extent to which starting pitchers can hurt their stock with poor outings leading into the deadline, some possible White Sox targets, the Giants’ veteran trade candidates, the Pirates’ closing need, Royals outfielder Lane Thomas and more! Let’s get […]
Pirates Acquire Ron Marinaccio, Designate Dennis Santana For Assignment

Nationals Outright Justin Lawrence
The Nationals announced Thursday that right-handed reliever Justin Lawrence passed through waivers unclaimed following his recent DFA. He’s been assigned outright to Triple-A Rochester. Lawrence had the right to reject the assignment and elect free agency, although doing so would’ve meant forfeiting the remainder of his $1.225MM guarantee this season. Unsurprisingly, he chose to accept […]
Trade Deadline Outlook: Baltimore Orioles
After back-to-back playoff appearances, Baltimore finished at the bottom of the division last season. The Orioles made multiple splashes over the winter, both in free agency and the trade market, in an effort to compete in the challenging AL East. For most of the first half, the club appeared likely to fall short again under […]
Orioles Claim Yohel Pozo, Designate Johnathan Rodríguez For Assignment

Twins Rumors: Jeffers, Larnach
The Twins continue to play just well enough to be on the cusp of playoff contention. Minnesota is 50-53 on the season following last night’s 10-6 win over the Guardians.
