Twins DFA Former Top Prospect Outfielder
The Minnesota Twins recalled Royce Lewis from Triple-A St. Paul, and James Outman paid the price.

He struck out at a rate that made prod...

MLB Executive Links AL East Team As ‘Perfect Fit’ for Freddy Peralta Trade
The New York Mets aren't ready to trade ace Freddy Peralta just yet. But as we steam towards the trade deadline in less than two months, they'll start to take the trade talks a lot more seriously. Peralta is a free agent after the season, and after giving up a couple of fine prospects to acquire him from Milwaukee, the Mets won't want to lose him for nothing. One MLB executive told insider Robert Murray that Peralta will have more interest on the trade market than two-time Cy Young winne...

5 Trade Targets Named for Arizona Diamondbacks
The Arizona Diamondbacks have recovered from a slow start to the season and now find themselves right in the heart of the mix for a Wild Card berth in the National League.

The insider then went on to ...

MLB Trade: Blue Jays Re-Acquire Former Top Prospect Simeon Woods Richardson After DFA

Minnesota Twins & Pittsburgh Pirates Complete Trade
The Minnesota Twins acquired right-handed reliever Justin Lawrence from the Pittsburgh Pirates for cash considerations, adding a hard-throwing veteran to a bullpen that has been one of the most inconsistent in the American League this season.

MLB Trade Rumors: Blue Jays Linked To Elite Pitching Trade Target
The injuries continue to pile up for the Toronto Blue Jays, notably in the starting rotation. With Dylan Cease, Shane Bieber, Max Scherzer and Jose Berrios currently on the IL (the latter for the entire season), the Jays will continue to look for pitching help.

If they can get to the postseason, not many teams would want to face a sho...
MLB Trade Rumors: 2 'Dream' Starting Pitcher Targets Named For Chicago Cubs
If there's one team that can pick it on defense, it's the Chicago Cubs. But the Cubbies are also a team with a need for some starting pitching to let those fielders go do their jobs. Shota Imanaga and Jameson Taillon are flyball pitchers, as is Matthew Boyd (currently on the IL). So as the team looks to fortify its rotation, there are two 'dream' fits for the Cubs to look to on the trade market, as noted by Christopher Kline of Fansided . Sandy Alcantara, Miami Marlins The former Cy Youn...
San Francisco Giants DFA 9-Year Veteran Pitcher
The San Francisco Giants made two roster decisions. Ryan Borucki was designated for assignment after giving up at least one run in three straight appearances, pushing his ERA to 4.94 across 23.2 relief innings. Jonah Cox was promoted directly from Double-A Richmond, skipping Triple-A Sacramento entirely, after one of the most eye-catching minor league stretches of the 2026 season. I know there are a lot of reasons to question the some of the front office’s moves this year, but signing a ...
Texas Rangers Sign Former Top Prospect Outfielder
Jarred Kelenic is in Texas now. The Texas Rangers have signed the outfielder to a minor league deal, with Kelenic reporting to Triple-A Round Rock after electing free agency from the Chicago White Sox over the weekend.

MLB Trade Rumors: Insider Lists 10 Teams Who'll Compete in Tarik Skubal Sweepstakes
Detroit Tigers' two-time defending Cy Young winner Tarik Skubal is continuing his lightning-quick recovery from elbow surgery, and could be back on the mound by the end of June, by all accounts.
