Introducing Our MLB Payroll Tracker
Today I am excited to announce a partnership between MLB Trade Rumors and Ethan Hullihen, bringing the most accurate MLB payroll information available to Trade Rumors Front Office subscribers. You simply cannot find MLB payroll information anywhere on the Internet with Ethan’s level of detail and accuracy. The proof is in the numbers: Now, MLBTR […]
Astros Trade Lance McCullers Jr., Colton Gordon To Brewers
The Brewers and Astros have announced the first trade of the season’s unofficial second half, with Houston sending righty Lance McCullers Jr., left-hander Colton Gordon and cash to Milwaukee in exchange for minor league outfielder Jadyn Fielder. The Brewers are reportedly absorbing $2.5MM of the remaining money on McCullers’ underwater contract. Milwaukee transferred Rob Zastryzny to […]
Cardinals’ Scott Blewett Exercises Opt-Out Clause
Cardinals reliever Scott Blewett has exercised an opt-out clause in his minor league contract, reports Derrick Goold of The St. Louis Post-Dispatch. St. Louis either needs to add him to the MLB roster or grant him his release. Blewett has spent the entire season at Triple-A Memphis. Although his 5.18 earned run average across 48 2/3 […]
Diamondbacks Place Tommy Troy On Injured List
The D-Backs placed rookie outfielder Tommy Troy on the 10-day injured list with an AC joint sprain in his right shoulder. The placement is retroactive to July 12. Arizona didn’t announce a corresponding move and is unlikely to do so until Friday, when they open a big series against the Cardinals. Injured list moves over […]
Athletics To Select Tommy White
The A’s will call up infielder Tommy White for Friday’s series opener against the Nationals, reports Jeff Passan of ESPN. It’ll be the major league debut for the former LSU star. The team’s transaction log at MLB.com indicates that the A’s are also activating recently claimed utilityman Donovan Walton. First baseman Joey Meneses and catcher Brian Serven are […]
Mets Outright Dan Hammer
July 15: Hammer cleared waivers and was outrighted back to Triple-A Syracuse, according to the MLB.com transaction log. July 10: The Mets have designated right-hander Dan Hammer for assignment, reports Anthony DiComo of MLB.com. That will open a spot on both the active and 40-man rosters. It’s not yet clear what other moves the Mets […]
Athletics To Designate Aaron Civale For Assignment
The A’s are designating veteran starter Aaron Civale for assignment, according to the team’s transaction log at MLB.com. Righty reliever Yunior Tur is being selected onto the major league roster in his place. The log also indicates that the A’s will recall southpaw Brady Basso from Triple-A Las Vegas and activate recently claimed utilityman Donovan Walton. First […]
Trade Deadline Outlook: Washington Nationals
The Nationals have toiled in the basement of the National League since winning the 2019 World Series. The 2026 campaign has been a much-needed light at the end of the rebuilding tunnel. It took a revamped front office, a brand-new manager, and a roster overhaul, but the Nats are finally moving in the right direction. […]
Rangers Release Austin Voth
The Rangers have granted swingman Austin Voth a release from his minor league contract, reports Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News. The journeyman righty had signed with Texas less than two weeks ago. It seems Voth requested the release after making just one start for Triple-A Round Rock. Speculatively, that could indicate he has […]
Bruce Zimmermann Elects Free Agency
July 15: Zimmermann has elected free agency, the Cards announced. July 13: Lefty Bruce Zimmermann has been outrighted to Triple-A, the Cardinals announced. The veteran cleared waivers after being designated for assignment on Tuesday. Zimmermann has been outrighted multiple times in his career, so he’ll have the option to elect free agency. Zimmermann spent just […]
Diamondbacks Outright Pavin Smith
The Diamondbacks announced that first baseman Pavin Smith has cleared waivers and been sent outright to Triple-A Reno. The Snakes designated Smith for assignment last week. Smith has the right to elect free agency but isn’t likely to do so. Players with at least three years of service time have the right to reject outright […]
Trade Deadline Outlook: Kansas City Royals
The Royals have reached the All-Star break at 38-59, tied with the Angels for the worst record in Major League Baseball. The Halos’ league-high playoff drought will climb to a dozen years when their inevitable elimination comes later in the summer. Their ongoing ineptitude isn’t a surprise to anyone, whereas Kansas City looked like a […]
Keegan Akin Undergoes Tommy John Surgery
The Orioles announced that left-hander Keegan Akin has undergone Tommy John surgery. He will miss the remainder of this year and possibly all of 2027 as well. He’s already on the 60-day injured list and will stay there for the rest of the season. Roch Kubatko of MASNsports.com was among those to pass the news […]
Giants Outright Eric Cerantola
The Giants have sent right-hander Eric Cerantola through waivers and outrighted him to Triple-A Sacramento, reports Susan Slusser of The San Francisco Chronicle. There wasn’t any previous indication that Cerantola was bumped off the 40-man, so this drops the club’s count to 39. Cerantola, 36, has never appeared in a big league game for the […]
Nationals Reinstate Max Kranick From 60-Day Injured List
The Nationals announced that right-hander Max Kranick has been reinstated from the 60-day injured list. The club had a 40-man vacancy that Kranick has now filled. The Nats also placed catcher Drew Millas on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to June 12, with a left index finger fracture. Fellow catcher Harry Ford will be recalled […]

The Opener: AL Wins ASG, Bellinger, Caminero
Dodgers lefty Justin Wrobleski made a bit of history last night. He became the first pitcher since Pedro Martinez in 1999 to have at least five strikeouts in the All-Star game (h/t Sarah Langs of MLB.com). 1. American League earns shutout win The AL cruised to a 4-0 victory in last night’s All-Star game. Pitching dominated […]
Charlie Barnes Elects Free Agency
July 15: Barnes elected free agency, MLBTR has learned. July 14: Left-hander Charlie Barnes has cleared waivers and been outrighted to Triple-A, per his MLB.com transaction tracker. The Dodgers designated the veteran for assignment on Saturday after righty Landon Knack returned from the 60-day IL. Barnes has been outrighted before, so he has the right […]
Trade Deadline Outlook: Los Angeles Angels
The Angels are tied for the worst record in baseball, and are surely headed for their 11th consecutive losing season. There was already speculation that GM Perry Minasian was on the hot seat since 2026 was the last guaranteed year of his contract, but the axe fell surprisingly earlier than expected, as Minasian was fired […]

Latest On 2028 Olympics Negotiations
Major League Baseball and the MLB Players Association have expressed mutual interest in getting big leaguers involved for the 2028 Summer Olympics. There’ll need to be a formal agreement between the league and players union for that to happen. ESPN’s Jeff Passan reported on Tuesday that there are various issues to be sorted out. Some […]
Trade Deadline Outlook: Cleveland Guardians
The Guardians won the American League Central in 2025 but didn’t do much to follow up on that division crown in the winter. They entered the year relying almost entirely on in-house players like Chase DeLauter, Parker Messick, Travis Bazzana, Cooper Ingle and others breaking through to play meaningful roles in the majors. The approach […]
Cubs Outright Jake Woodford
The Cubs have run right-hander Jake Woodford unclaimed through outright waivers, according to the MLB.com transaction tracker. He has the right to elect free agency and explore other opportunities. Chicago designated Woodford for assignment over the weekend when Phil Maton made it back from the injured list. Woodford had a brief stint on the big league […]
Padres Notes: Miller, Deadline, Franchise Sale
Like many teams, the Padres aren’t firmly in buyer or seller status as the August 3 deadline approaches. They are 48-48 and 3.5 games back of a playoff spot in the National League. Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune writes that people in the organization are saying the club’s performance after the All-Star Break […]
Matt Krook Elects Free Agency
The Nationals announced that left-hander Matt Krook, whom they designated for assignment a few days ago, cleared waivers and was sent outright to Triple-A Rochester. Krook opted for free agency, as was his right as a player with a previous career outright. Krook, 31, oddly has a very limited big league track record but has […]
