Tarik Skubal, The Tigers, And The Luxury Tax
The Tigers have perhaps the biggest dilemma of any team in baseball facing them between now and the Aug. 3 trade deadline: keep reigning two-time Cy Young Award winner Tarik Skubal and make a run at the postseason in a mediocre American League, or cash in one of the game’s top arms for a significant […]
Astros Trade Nate Pearson To Royals
The Royals announced Wednesday that they’ve acquired right-hander Nate Pearson from the Astros in exchange for minor league righty Max Martin. Houston had designated Pearson for assignment over the weekend. Kansas City designated outfielder Kameron Misner for assignment in order to get Pearson onto the roster (more on that DFA here). Pearson, 29, was once […]

The Opener: Abrams, Gausman, Doubleheaders
The Phillies were 90 feet away from forcing extra innings against the Dodgers. Instead, a chopper to Max Muncy led to a 5-2-6-4 double play to end the game (video link from the Dodgers on X). 1. Abrams hits two more HRs Nationals shortstop CJ Abrams is enjoying his time in Sacramento and Colorado. Abrams […]

It’s available as part of Trade Rumors Front Office, which keeps getting better and better. Last year, Ethan’s team payroll estimates were within 1.04% for all 30 […]
MLBPA Makes Its First Proposal Related To Amateur Draft
The MLB Players Association announced the details of its first proposal related to the Rule 4 amateur draft on Wednesday. This comes a month on the heels of the league’s initial draft proposal. Evan Drellich of The Athletic and JJ Cooper of Baseball America were among those to cover the news. Unsurprisingly, there’s very little […]
Yankees To Activate Max Fried
The Yankees will activate Max Fried from the 15-day injured list tomorrow. The team announced that he’ll take the ball for Game 2 of a doubleheader against Pittsburgh. He’ll go opposite Bubba Chandler after a Mitch Keller vs. Gerrit Cole showing in the afternoon. Fried returns after spending more than two months on the shelf. He was diagnosed […]
Kyle Teel Expected To Miss 6-12 Weeks
The White Sox anticipate that catcher Kyle Teel will miss between six and 12 weeks with a left high ankle sprain, manager Will Venable told reporters Tuesday (link via Scott Merkin of MLB.com). Chicago placed him on the 10-day injured list and brought up Edgar Quero this afternoon. Teel suffered the injury on an attempted tag in […]
D-Backs Recall Kohl Drake, Gerardo Carrillo For MLB Debuts
8:03pm: Arizona also placed Drey Jameson on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to July 20, with right hip inflammation. Gerardo Carillo was recalled from Reno for the first promotion of his own career. Carrillo leveraged a clause in his minor league deal to secure a spot on the 40-man roster over the weekend. The 27-year-old has tossed […]
Trade Deadline Outlook: St. Louis Cardinals
The Cardinals kicked off a youth movement — and the significant payroll cut that comes with it — with a series of trades last offseason. They’re nevertheless right in the thick of the Wild Card race, perhaps as much a surprise to their front office as it is to most outside observers. President of baseball […]
Tigers Place Jack Flaherty On Injured List
The Tigers announced they’ve placed Jack Flaherty on the 15-day injured list with flexor inflammation. Detroit recalled righty Ty Madden from Triple-A Toledo to replace him on the pitching staff. Flaherty evidently suffered the injury during yesterday’s start at Wrigley Field. He came out after four innings, but that was initially believed to be due to him […]
Rangers Select Marco Gonzales, Austin Wynns
The Rangers announced that they have selected the contract of left-hander Marco Gonzales and catcher Austin Wynns. The 40-man roster had one vacancy. They opened another spot by transferring lefty Jalen Beeks to the 60-day injured list. Beeks underwent season-ending flexor surgery a couple weeks ago. In corresponding active roster moves, catcher Kyle Higashioka has […]

The Athletics announced that right-hander Mark Leiter Jr. has been placed on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to July 19, due to a right hip impingement.

Dodgers Select Charlie Barnes, Transfer Will Smith To 60-Day IL
The Dodgers announced that they have selected the contract of left-hander Charlie Barnes. Righty Landon Knack has been optioned to Triple-A Oklahoma City in a corresponding active roster move.

Trade Deadline Outlook: Minnesota Twins
The Twins have had a better season than most — myself certainly included — anticipated. Taj Bradley is having a breakout year. Joe Ryan has been characteristically excellent. Ryan Jeffers (when healthy) has taken his game to a new level. Young players like Brooks Lee and Luke Keaschall have had solid showings. Trevor Larnach is […]
Nationals Designate Justin Lawrence For Assignment
The Nationals announced that right-hander Eddy Yean has been recalled from Triple-A Rochester. Fellow righty Justin Lawrence has been designated for assignment as the corresponding move. The Nats claimed Lawrence off waivers just under a month ago. Since then, he has made seven appearances, allowing three earned runs in 6 1/3 innings. That gives him […]
Report: Mets Not Planning To Pay Down Salary In Trades
The Mets, in the midst of perhaps the most disappointing season of any club in baseball, head into the trade deadline as clear sellers. They’re not going to trade Juan Soto or promising young talents like Nolan McLean, Carson Benge, A.J. Ewing and Christian Scott. It’s unlikely that they’d be able to find a way […]
Braves Release Kyle Farmer
The Braves announced that outfielder Mike Yastrzemski has been reinstated from the 10-day injured list. Infielder Kyle Farmer has been released as the corresponding move. He’ll become a free agent once he clears release waivers, if he hasn’t already. Farmer, 35, signed a minor league deal with Atlanta in the offseason. Due to his veteran […]
Angels Reportedly Listening To Offers On Controllable Players
In a departure from trade deadlines and offseasons past, the Angels appear to be willing to hear other clubs out when they come calling about some of their most appealing, controllable trade options. Interim GM John Mozeliak said yesterday that he would “possibly” entertain such deals if the proposed returns were compelling. Meanwhile, Jeff Passan […]
Kyle Teel Placed On IL With Ankle Sprain
July 21: The Sox have officially placed Teel on the IL today with a left ankle sprain, with Quero recalled as the corresponding move. July 20: White Sox catcher Kyle Teel made an early exit from tonight’s game in Texas. Chicago announced that he’s being evaluated for a left ankle injury. They haven’t provided any […]
