MLB Trade Rumors: Robbie Ray Heads to Chicago In Proposed Deadline Deal
The San Francisco Giants are hoping to make some deals and recoup some assets as a seller at the trade deadline in less than four weeks. And while the big-ticket items like Rafael Devers, Willy Adames and Matt Chapman will be hard to unload due to their onerous contracts, one of the names who should be tradeable is a former Cy Young winner. Robbie Ray is a pending free agent, so all an acquiring team would have to take on is the remainder of his $25M contract for this year, which would come ou...
Top Suitor Emerges For Red Sox' Sonny Gray
The Atlanta Braves are among the teams pursuing Boston Red Sox right-hander Sonny Gray, and they may have a natural advantage in landing him. Per Ken Rosenthal and Will Sammon of The Athletic , the Braves are one of several rotation-needy clubs that have reached out to the Red Sox about Gray's availability, and Rosenthal noted Atlanta stands out as an intriguing match. Why the Braves Need Him Atlanta has stayed atop the NL East despite a staggering run of pitching injuries. The Braves ar...
Detroit Tigers DFA Struggling Veteran
The Detroit Tigers have moved on from a bench piece who could not recapture last year's magic. The Tigers designated outfielder Jahmai Jones for assignment on Thursday, recalling catcher/first baseman Eduardo Valencia in the corresponding move. The Move Behind the Move The decision was tied to a health scare behind the plate. Catcher Dillon Dingler took a foul ball off his hand on Wednesday and was replaced in the game by Jake Rogers, though X-rays came back negative. The Tigers have DFA...
Rockies Player Slapped With 80-Game PED Suspension
The Colorado Rockies will be losing pitcher Domingo Acevedo for the rest of the season, as the Triple-A right-hander has been hit with an 80-game suspension for testing positive for a performance-enhancing drug.

3-Time Cy Young Winner Justin Verlander Makes Big Announcement
It's been a long 21-year, storied career in the majors for Justin Verlander. But the 43-year-old has announced that this will officially be his last season and he will retire after the 2026 campaign. Justin Verlander announces he will officially retire after the season https://t.co/huyOscRBin — Bob Nightengale (@BNightengale) July 8, 2026 The announcement comes minutes after commissioner Rob Manfred announced that Verlander has been named to the AL roster as a “Legend Pick” for the 2026 ...
MLB Trade Rumors: Freddy Peralta Heads To Blue Jays In Proposed Deadline Deal
This has not been the season that Freddy Peralta or the New York Mets hoped it would be. The Mets are one of the worst teams in baseball with no chance of a play off run. Peralta is having a rough season in his contract year. A 4.68 ERA isn't what he had in mind to take to the free agent market. Nevertheless, there are reports that his trade market at the deadline could still be decent, per T he Athletic's Will Sammon . Peralta, 30, set for free agency at the end of the season, sta...
NL Team Linked To Trade For Angels' Reid Detmers
The Milwaukee Brewers may be in the market for another starting pitcher, and one name has surfaced as a fit. FanSided floated a trade sending Los Angeles Angels left-hander Reid Detmers to Milwaukee, a move made more pressing by Brandon Woodruff's return to the injured list. Why the Brewers Need an Arm Woodruff left his start against the Diamondbacks in the fourth inning and was placed on the 15-day IL with shoulder inflammation, his second IL stint of the season with shoulder issues. Th...
Rays & Yankees Both Chasing The Same Deadline Upgrade
The New York Yankees and Tampa Bay Rays have the same problem, and they are both eyeing the same solution. Per CBS Sports, both AL East rivals are pursuing Minnesota Twins catcher Ryan Jeffers, setting up the possibility of a division bidding war for the best backstop available before the August 3 trade deadline. Why Both Teams Need Him The Yankees have gotten historically bad production from the catcher position, with their catchers posting a 42 wRC+ that ranks dead last in baseball, and ...
7 All-Stars in 2026 Midsummer Classic Could Be Traded
It's an exciting lineup set to compete in next week's Midsummer Classic. 26 first-timers were selected for the 2026 MLB All-Star Game, and four rookies. But there are also seven players who might be on different teams a month from now. Insider Jon Heyman was on MLB Network on Monday and discussed his picks for seven All-Stars who could be dealt by the August 3rd trade deadline—some more likely than others. Which 2026 All-Stars could be wearing a different uniform after the Trade De...
MLB Trade Rumors: Astros & Rockies Becoming Trade Partners
We're within a month of the trade deadline now, and teams' needs are coming into clear focus, if they hadn't been already. In Houston, the Astros are 24th in OPS in left field and 23rd in center field, and getting hardly any production out of those two spots (not that Cam Smith's .220/.293/.380 slash line with a .673 OPS is killing it in right field, either). It's clear where their priority lies at the deadline, as they've got two notable names from the Colorado Rockies outfield squarely...
Top NL Team Linked To Trade For Reds' Eugenio Suarez
The Milwaukee Brewers sit atop the NL Central, but the roster has one glaring weakness that a struggling division rival could help solve. Power. FanSided floated a trade sending Cincinnati Reds third baseman Eugenio Suarez to Milwaukee, framing the veteran slugger as a natural fit for a lineup that hits for very little pop. Why the Brewers Need It The Brewers have hit just 80 home runs as a team this season, tied for the 28th-most in the majors, with only the Arizona Diamondbacks and Bos...
3 Potential Byron Buxton Trade Destinations
The Minnesota Twins have been adamant that Byron Buxton is not going anywhere, and the star center fielder holds a full no-trade clause that gives him complete control over his future. "We have no plans to trade Byron," GM Jeremy Zoll told reporters. "It's not something we're exploring. It's not something we plan to explore." Buxton himself has repeatedly shut down the speculation, saying, "I ain't said nothing about leaving, nor will I. I'm a Twin." Still, circumstances change quickly aro...
Former Blue Jays Closer Jordan Romano Finds New MLB Home
Former top closer Jordan Romano is back in the major leagues.... But this could get ugly. The former two-time All-Star with the Toronto Blue Jays has been called up by the Colorado Rockies. Rockies select contract of Jordan Romano from AAA https://t.co/8KqwjrSNsS — Rotoworld Baseball (@rotoworld_bb) July 4, 2026 Of course, the thin air at Coors Field isn't the most friendly atmosphere for pitchers who are struggling. And that's the only word you can use to describe Romano's trials and tr...
MLB Trade Rumors: Rangers & Giants Linked To Trade
The San Francisco Giants are heading toward the August 3 trade deadline as one of the clearest sellers in baseball, and Luis Arraez has become a name to watch, with the Texas Rangers repeatedly floated as a logical fit. Bleacher Report' s latest batch of trade ideas proposed the Rangers acquiring Arraez from the Giants for right-hander Leandro Lopez and outfielder Maxton Martin. Why the Fit Makes Sense The Rangers have a big hole at second base. Six different players have started there t...
MLB Trade Rumors: Sonny Gray Might "Love" A Reunion With One Team
The St. Louis Cardinals traded Sonny Gray to the Boston Red Sox last November, and there is a growing chance the veteran right-hander finds his way back. Bob Nightengale of USA Today reported that Gray might "love" to get traded back to St. Louis, a possibility Bleacher Report's Zachary D. Rymer built into a full trade proposal sending the three-time All-Star from Boston back to the Cardinals. Why It Could Happen Gray recently told Tim Healey of The Boston Globe that he would be willing to...
MLB Trade Rumors: New Frontrunner Named To Acquire Tarik Skubal
Tarik Skubal had a bit of a rocky return to the mound in his first three starts coming back from minor elbow surgery. But his last outing against the New York Yankees proved that the two-time defending Cy Young winner is, indeed, back. He one-hit the Yanks over six innings, allowing one earned run and striking out nine against zero walks. Not that trade talk wouldn't be heating up for Skubal anyway, but this only ramps up the urgency. With the usual big-name teams being mentioned a...
Royals Reunite With Former Closer To Steady Struggling Bullpen
The Kansas City Royals are bringing back an old friend to address their most glaring weakness. The Royals announced that they have signed veteran right-hander Scott Barlow to a minor league deal, reuniting with the reliever who made his major league debut in their organization back in 2018. Barlow was released by the Athletics earlier in the week. Why Kansas City Made the Move The Royals bullpen has been the worst in baseball by ERA, sitting at a 5.40 mark that is marginally worse than t...
Washington Nationals Bring Back Familiar Lefty
The Washington Nationals are reuniting with a pitcher who found new life in their organization a year ago. The Nationals signed left-hander Konnor Pilkington to a minor league contract, bringing back the 28-year-old southpaw after he exercised the opt-out clause in his minor league deal with the Detroit Tigers earlier in the week. The Path Back to Washington Pilkington spent 2025 as a bullpen mainstay for the Nationals, appearing in 32 games out of the relief mix and posting a 4.45 ERA wit...
MLB Trade Rumors: Red Sox & White Sox Becoming Trade Partners
The Chicago White Sox are having a stunning season. Following up three straight 100-loss campaigns, the rebuild has officially hit the next level, as the ChiSox head up the AL Central Division at 45-40. The Boston Red Sox, on the other hand, are having a dreadful campaign, and their playoff hopes are slim and none at this point. To that end, insider and former MLB GM Jim Bowden has suggested on Foul Territory that the White Sox will be calling on two Boston players, as the teams could be...
MLB Hands Out 22 Games In Suspensions For Red Sox/Nationals Brawl
It was "a good old-fashioned donnybrook," as the Washington Nationals' broadcast called it. Nats pitcher Cade Cavalli and Boston Red Sox first baseman Willson Contreras got INTO IT earlier this week in a wild, benches-clearing brawl that featured helmet throwing. MLB has now handed down 22 games' worth of suspensions for the incident. Suspensions for Nationals-Red Sox bench-clearing incident: Nationals pitcher Cade Cavalli: 7 game suspension. Red Sox first baseman Willson Contreras...
Red Sox Cut Veteran Reliever After Rough Stretch
The Boston Red Sox are moving on from veteran reliever Tommy Kahnle. The Red Sox designated the 36-year-old right-hander for assignment following Tuesday night's 8-1 loss to the Washington Nationals, recalling left-hander Alec Gamboa from Triple-A Worcester to take his roster spot. A Tenure That Unraveled Quickly Kahnle opened the season at Triple-A after signing a minor league deal late in spring training and was called up on June 4 following a strong stretch in Worcester, where he posted...
Rangers & White Sox Complete Trade
The Texas Rangers made a minor league move that could carry bigger implications than the transaction log suggests. The Rangers acquired right-hander Ben Peoples from the Chicago White Sox in exchange for minor league catcher Ben Hartl. Neither player is on a 40-man roster, and the deal was not formally announced, which is typical for the Rangers when it comes to minor league trades unless the player ends up on the big league roster. A Reliever Knocking on the Door Peoples has been one of...

Drawing from a list put forth by MLB GM Jim Bowden, of The Athletic , let's choose the top 4 "under-the-radar" trade candidates of the summer of 2026.

Guardians Linked To Trade For Former World Series MVP
The Cleveland Guardians have a power problem, and Bleacher Report's Zachary D. Rymer has identified a familiar solution on a fire-sale roster. Rymer proposed the Guardians call the Los Angeles Angels about former World Series MVP Jorge Soler to address their most glaring offensive weakness. "It must be a year ending in a number, because the Guardians are short on power. They rank 29th in slugging percentage," Rymer wrote. "For a contender in that position, trading for Soler is one of the old...
Padres & Royals Linked To Trade Involving All-Star Pitcher
The San Diego Padres need starting pitching, and Bleacher Report's Zachary D. Rymer predicts they will solve the problem with a familiar face. Rymer projects the Padres to reacquire Kansas City Royals right-hander Michael Wacha ahead of the August 3 trade deadline. "The Padres needed a starter even before they put Lucas Giolito on the injured list on Tuesday, and Wacha is a guy they know well," Rymer wrote. "He had a 3.22 ERA as a Padre back in 2023." Why San Diego Needs an Arm The Padre...
