MLB Rumors: Yankees & Angels Linked To Trade

Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton, and Trent Grisham are all currently on the New York Yankees ' injured list. A recent lineup featured Spencer Jones, Cody Bellinger, and Jasson Dominguez as the outfield trio, which is a combination that is functional but falls well short of what a team with World Series expectations should be running out there every day. FanSided's Pinstripe Alley identified Jo Adell of the Los Angeles Angels as the most logical and aggressive trade target the Yankees could ...

MLB Rumors: Would Giants Trade Logan Webb?

The San Francisco Giants are 29-43, 16 games back in the NL West, and per Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic, moving toward selling at the August 3 trade deadline. Logan Webb is not part of that conversation. Rosenthal reported that the Giants have zero plans to part with their ace, with one source telling him flatly that Webb is simply their guy and they want to win at some point in the near future. That organizational conviction has been tested by what Webb has done since returning from the...

Padres' Pitcher Handed Multi-Game Suspension For Beanball On Gunnar Henderson

A wild sequence of events has led to a multi-game suspension for San Diego Padres reliever Ron Marinaccio. He gets three games for hitting Baltimore Orioles' shortstop Gunnar Henderson with a pitch in the 9th inning of a game this past weekend. Henderson was targeted on three separate occasions in the game by two different pitchers before finally getting beaned. And the umpires had seen enough. And there it is: Craig Stammen suspended for 1 game following incident Saturday in which Ron Ma...

Angels Lefty Becomes A Significant Trade Chip At Deadline

The Los Angeles Angels will be looked at as sellers as we approach the MLB trade deadline later this summer. They're bringing up the rear in the entire American League, at 29-43. One of the Halos' top trade chips will undoubtedly be southpaw Reid Detmers.  He's on a heater, boosting his trade value significantly, and as noted by insider Bob Nightengale of USA Today, teams are noticing.   Los Angeles Angels left-handed starter Reid Detmers is starting to pick up plenty of tractio...

MLB Rumors: AL East Team To Check On Tarik Skubal Trade

The New York Yankees are on top of the AL East and have the best starting rotation in the AL right now. They are still checking on Tarik Skubal. Jeff Passan of ESPN reported that the Yankees will gauge the cost of Skubal if and when the Detroit Tigers formally place him on the trade block, adding that the rental nature of the deal does not deter New York given that his prorated salary of approximately $10 million for the remainder of the season will not be an impediment. Skubal had a 2.7...

5 Players Most Likely To Be Moved At Trade Deadline

The 2026 MLB trade deadline is August 3, and with Memorial Day now in the rearview mirror, teams are beginning to sort themselves into buyers and sellers. Here are the five players generating the most consistent trade buzz across the league. Tarik Skubal - Detroit Tigers The most coveted name on any trade board this summer just returned from a lengthy injury.

MLB Trade Rumors: Phillies Linked To Big Deals With Cubs & Angels

The Philadelphia Phillies are desperate for help in the outfield. Despite a small deal they pulled off with the Chicago White Sox this past week , they're looking to make a much more significant addition.  And it appears that the Chicago Cubs and Los Angeles Angels are squarely on their radar.  The Phillies will be desperately looking to acquire an outfielder at the trade deadline, per @BNightengale Seiya Suzuki and Jo Adell are on Philadelphia’s radar. pic.twitter.com/grUpT1ukTz — J...

Report: Significant Development On Bo Bichette's Future With Mets

 It was a huge free agent signing for the New York Mets last winter. Just when it appeared that Bo Bichette was about to go to the heated division rival Philadelphia Phillies, the Mets poached the star infielder with a ridiculous $42 million average salary on a three-year deal. But it seems like it'll be a one-and-done for Bichette with the Mets, as insider Bob Nightengal e reports that he will exercise his opt-out after the season and hit the market again looking for a much longer-term d...

MLB Trade Rumors: White Sox Linked To 4 Pitchers On Trade Market

Was that the Chicago White Sox tied for first place in the American League Central Division coming into the weekend? Yes, the same team that lost 100 games in each of the previous three seasons is staging a miraculous Cinderella season in 2026, with a 37-32 record, far above expectations.  But they shouldn't take their foot off the gas, and should certainly be buyers at the trade deadline — within reason. To that end, Christopher Kline of Fansided has proposed four trade targets to bolste...

Phillies & Twins Linked To Blockbuster Trade

The Philadelphia Phillies have been named Byron Buxton's best trade destination ahead of the August 3 deadline. Buxton is hitting .259 with 20 home runs, an .888 OPS, and gold glove-caliber center field defense in 2026. The Phillies are 27-27, struggling to climb back above .500 after a brutal start, and desperately short of right-handed power in their outfield following the Adolis Garcia disappointment. He would slot directly into the cleanup spot or third in their order, become the eve...

Guardians Call Up Pitcher After 4 Lost Seasons to Surgeries

It's been a long and frustrating road for the former first-round pick of the 2019 MLB Draft, but finally, in the ultimate story of perseverance, Daniel Espino is getting the call-up to the big leagues.  The #Guardians are set to call up flamethrowing RHP Daniel Espino for what would be his MLB debut, per @tim_stebbins . The 2019 first-rounder ranked as high as MLB's No. 16 prospect in 2023 but missed almost all of four seasons ('22-'25) due to injury: https://t.co/N6bmEplWxt pic.twitter.c...

MLB Rumors: Blue Jays & Marlins Linked To Trade

The Toronto Blue Jays won the American League pennant last fall and pushed the Los Angeles Dodgers to Game 7 of the World Series. They are currently 29-31 with Jose Berrios, Shane Bieber, and Cody Ponce all on the injured list simultaneously. They just got back Dylan Cease and Max Scherzer from injury. Berrios and Ponce are both likely done for the season. ESPN's Jeff Passan included the Blue Jays in his trade deadline preview as a team that could target Miami Marlins ace Sandy Alcantara i...

Cardinals Send Former Star Slugger To The Minors

He was a Top-3 prospect for four years running, and one of the young players who would be part of the next core of the St. Louis Cardinals. A slugging infielder who ripped 27 homers in his first full big league season in 2023, in just 119 games. But Nolan Gorman has had a precipitous fall since then, and today, he was optioned back to Triple-A. The #STLCards are promoting infielder Blaze Jordan and optioning Nolan Gorman to AAA, per @dgoold Additionally, they sent RHP Hunter Dobbins to Memphis...

MLB Trade Rumors: Jarren Duran Linked To Exciting, Upstart NL Team

Jarren Duran has had a roller coaster of a season this year with the Boston Red Sox. Wtih a dreadful .174 average and .528 OPS through the first six or so weeks, it seemed like a complete lost season for him.  But then a three-week run that included a 10-game hitting streak and 15 RBIs in 14 games had Duran back as a premier leadoff man with the BoSox, and as a primo trade candidate once again.  He's cooled off over the past week, but has still reignited some interest on the market.&...

Padres Sign Former 1st-Round Pick First Baseman

Nick Pratto did not have to travel far for his next opportunity. The San Diego Padres signed the first baseman to a minor league contract and assigned him to Triple-A El Paso. The Texas Rangers released Pratto earlier this week. The Career That Brought Him Here Pratto was the 14th overall pick of the Kansas City Royals in the 2017 draft out of Huntington Beach, California, a left-handed first baseman who generated a lot of excitement in 2021 when he hit 36 home runs between Double-A an...

Tigers Claim Former Top Prospect Off Waivers

The Detroit Tigers beat the Minnesota Twins 11-0 Thursday afternoon to take two of three in a Comerica Park series, then immediately claimed one of their players off waivers. The Tigers announced that they have claimed outfielder James Outman from Minnesota, transferring Javier Baez to the 60-day injured list to open the 40-man roster spot. Outman is likely heading to Triple-A Toledo. Former Dodger news: James Outman has been claimed by the Detroit Tigers on waivers. Since his amazing 2023...

3 Minnesota Twins Who Will 'Absolutely' Be On Trade Block

The Minnesota Twins surprisingly found themselves in the conversation for an American League Wild Card spot a few weeks back. But as is usually the case, teams find their level, and for the Twins, they've found theirs: on the outside looking in.  The Twins are now sitting 4.0 games back of a WC spot, at 31-39, with some very good teams ahead of them. Now that summer is just about here, they need to start thinking about selling once again. And while there could be as many as 9 or 10 player...

MLB Trade: Phillies & White Sox Complete Trade For Center Fielder

The Philadelphia Phillies were badly in need of another outfielder after back-to-back injury blows on Wednesday.  Johan Rojas, who was just about set to return from his 80-game PED suspension, was declared out for the season after being diagnosed with a torn UCL. Then Adolis García suffered a right shoulder injury in Wednesday night's game . The Phillies were on the lookout for an outfielder, in particular, who could hit lefties. Mission accomplished, as the Phils on Thursday have traded ...

TRADE: Astros Acquire Infielder From Rays

The Houston Astros acquired minor league infielder Raynel Delgado from the Tampa Bay Rays for cash considerations, with Delgado assigned to Triple-A Sugar Land. The move is a direct response to two consecutive infield injuries that have thinned Houston's upper-level depth. Nick Allen went on the injured list with a hamstring strain last week. Braden Shewmake followed with an adductor strain. Both are unavailable, leaving the Astros short on versatile infield options at the Triple-A level. ...

San Francisco Giants DFA Recently Signed Outfielder

The San Francisco Giants designated Will Brennan for assignment, reinstating left-hander Reiver Sanmartin from the 60-day injured list and optioning right-hander Tristan Beck to Triple-A Sacramento in corresponding moves. Brennan's 2026 season with San Francisco never found traction. In 23 plate appearances at the big league level this year, he managed two hits, both singles, continuing a persistent trend across his career. #SFGiants roster moves: - LHP Reiver Sanmartín (#48) returned from...

Blue Jays DFA Pitcher As Max Scherzer Hits The Mound Again

Mad Max is back. With the return of Max Scherzer to the Toronto Blue Jays pitching staff, someone had to pay the DFA price, and it was a pretty easy decision.  It was a short and unremarkable stint for right-hander Connor Seabold. The 30-year-old made five appearances totaling 3.1 innings for the injury-riddled Jays staff, all in low-leverage opportunities. And it wasn't impressive, as he posted an 8.10 ERA. He has now been designated for assignment.   Seabold is out of options ...

MLB Trade Rumors: Proposed Deal Sends Tarik Skubal to Pittsburgh

Two-time Cy Young winner Tarik Skubal is getting set to return to the mound for the Detroit Tigers in a shockingly short turnaround after elbow surgery last month. He's already blown away the competition in a rehab start, and is expected to pitch for the Tigers this weekend.  Skubal is so back. 5 IP | 2 H | 0 R | 0 BB | 6 K The @tigers ace racked up 16 swings-and-misses while throwing 44 of 54 pitches for strikes in a rehab start with the @wmwhitecaps . pic.twitter.com/drgy4Zxr7B — Minor ...

MLB Rumors: Top 3 Trade Destinations For CJ Abrams

CJ Abrams is just 25 years old, has 14 home runs, 51 RBIs, and a .283 average in 67 games, and plays for a Washington Nationals team that traded MacKenzie Gore in January and is clearly not built to contend over a 162-game season. ESPN's Jeff Passan explored the trade picture this week, naming the Yankees, Braves, Brewers, and Rays as teams that could pursue Abrams ahead of the August 3 deadline. Abrams is not a free agent until after the 2028 season, meaning any acquiring team gets two-pl...

MLB Rumors: Phillies & Orioles Linked To Trade

The Philadelphia Phillies have been one of baseball's most consistently disappointing outfields for two straight seasons, and the upcoming trade deadline market has produced an obvious solution. Taylor Ward is potentially available, CBS Sports' Mike Axisa named the Phillies as the team at the front of the line, and ESPN's Jeff Passan described Ward as fitting "snugly" into Philadelphia's lineup alongside Kyle Schwarber and Bryce Harper. The Baltimore Orioles acquired Ward from the Angels l...

MLB Trade Rumors: Mike Trout To Phillies In Proposed Blockbuster

No matter how bad the Los Angeles Angels have been over the years, Mike Trout has repeatedly insisted he was not interested in going elsewhere. Shohei Ohtani left. But Trout still remained steadfast. He was staying in Orange County.  Maybe now, after watching Ohtani win a couple of World Series with the Dodgers, would Trout reconsider? He hasn't been in the postseason since 2014, the first of his three MVP seasons. And the Angels haven't had a winning record since 2015.  If Trout fin...
