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...
Top 4 Under-The-Radar Trade Candidates, Per Ex-MLB GM
All the big names are out there on the trade market — Tarik Skubal, Joe Ryan, CJ Abrams, Aroldis Chapman, Luis Arraez... But there are a few players who are lying in the weeds that could be prime targets for teams as we head full-bore into trade season. 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. Antonio Senzatela, RHP, Colorado Rockies Moving him from the rotation to the bullpen has paid...
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...
MLB Trade Rumors: Ex-GM Proposes Angels Deal To Send Jo Adell To Phillies
The Philadelphia Phillies are still looking for an outfield upgrade. They badly need a corner outfielder after losing Adolis Garcia for the season. And the LA Angels could finally be sellers this year with GM Perry Minasian fired, and the reins off. That leaves us with a trade proposal to consider, coming from former MLB general manager Jim Bowden , on the GM Territory podcast. What would it take for the Angels to send Jo Adell to Philadelphia?👇 pic.twitter.com/6urWnS6ZGO — GM Terr...
MLB Trade Rumors: Yankees & Rockies Linked In Proposed Trade
To say the New York Yankees haven't gotten much offensive production out of the catcher's spot is a massive understatement. 29th in the majors in OPS, 28th in batting average, tied for 28th in home runs. And while they've often been linked to Ryan Jeffers of the Minnesota Twins as a trade candidate, let's take a look at a proposed trade from Christopher Kline of Fansided that would send a much better catching option to the Bronx Bombers. New York Yankees receive : Hunter Goodman, C Color...
New Team Linked to Blockbuster Trade For Mets' Freddy Peralta
The Chicago Cubs have a desperate need for starting pitching, a stellar farm system to address it, and a clear target in New York Mets right-hander Freddy Peralta. MLB insider Jon Heyman recently put Peralta back in the conversation, drawing a parallel between him and Marlins ace Sandy Alcantara as the dependable, innings-eating playoff starter contenders covet. "Very dependable guys. Always answer the bell," Heyman said. "Alcantara and Peralta are not having their best seasons, but they are...
Phillies & Orioles Linked To Trade For Red-Hot Pitcher
The Philadelphia Phillies are surging, sitting just three games behind the division-leading Atlanta Braves after Don Mattingly's promotion to manager appeared to unlock a higher gear following Rob Thomson's departure. They are also a team that knows exactly what happens when you ignore rotation depth at the deadline. FanSided's Christopher Kline floated a trade proposal connecting the Phillies to Baltimore Orioles left-hander Trevor Rogers as a buy-low option to bolster their depth ahead of ...
Tampa Bay Rays Sign 6-Year Veteran Infielder
The Tampa Bay Rays signed infielder Nick Madrigal to a minor league contract. It was a short trip through free agency for Madrigal, who returned to the open market just a few days earlier when he declined an outright assignment to the Los Angeles Angels' Triple-A squad. The Angels Stint After missing the entire 2025 season due to shoulder surgery, Madrigal signed a minor league deal with Los Angeles last winter and was selected to the active roster at the end of May. He hit a respectable...
Orioles Claim Former Top Prospect Pitcher Off Waivers
The Baltimore Orioles added some high-velocity bullpen depth, claiming right-hander Yosver Zulueta off waivers from the Chicago Cubs and optioning him to Triple-A. No corresponding move was necessary, as Baltimore had an open spot on its 40-man roster. A Lot of Stuff, Not Much Control Zulueta is a hard thrower who racks up strikeouts, and his ground-ball numbers are pretty encouraging, with a 55.4 percent grounder rate this season and a 54 percent mark over his brief major league time. ...
MLB Trade Rumors: Top 3 Landing Spots For Willson Contreras
Willson Contreras is only in his first season with the Boston Red Sox, but he already has a pretty good idea of the chaos that can surround the franchise when things aren't going well. The first baseman is already finding himself on the rumor mill as a trade possibility with the deadline approaching in just over a month. The 34-year-old is having an excellent season, on pace for the best numbers of his career with 17 homers, 50 RBIs, a .281 average and .904 OPS. With one more season plus...
MLB Trade Rumors: Red Sox' OF Jarren Duran Heads to Diamondbacks in Proposed Deal
The Jarren Duran mess in Boston continues. The 2024 All-Star has been anything but since then. His numbers slumped across the board last season, and he's hit career lows in 2026. Batting .201 with a .622 OPS, it's fair to wonder how much value the Red Sox outfielder has left on the trade market. Sean MacAdam of MassLive wrote earlier this year that " The Diamondbacks have long coveted Jarren Duran." If their interest hasn't waned in the light of this ugly season, we have a proposed trade...
