The Opener: Caballero, Red Sox, Marlins
A pair of young outfield prospects got on the board yesterday. Cam Cauley of the Rangers drove an Anthony Kay heater the opposite way for his first career homer. Ryan Waldschmidt took Yunior Tur deep to left-center for his first long ball, one of five homers hit by the Diamondbacks. 1. No more antics for […]
Trade Deadline Outlook: Toronto Blue Jays
One year after coming up a few inches short of a championship, the Blue Jays find themselves at the bottom of the AL East. They’re a season-worst nine games under .500 after dropping six of their first eight coming out of the All-Star Break. Only the Angels, A’s and Royals are below them in the […]
Mets Receiving Interest In Luis Robert Jr.
The Mets have received preliminary trade interest in Luis Robert Jr., report Ken Rosenthal and Will Sammon of The Athletic.

Royals Sign Alejo Lopez To Minor League Deal
The Royals signed infielder Alejo Lopez to a minor league contract and assigned him to Triple-A Omaha.

Lopez had been playing in Triple-A in the Seattle system this year. He was released a […]
Will The Padres Move Mason Miller?
For the last two months, Aroldis Chapman was expected to be the best reliever traded this summer. Boston’s 15-game win streak has put them in Wild Card position and probably takes him off the market. That coincided with increased chatter about the possibility of a Mason Miller blockbuster for a second straight year. The Padres take […]
Cubs Sign Greg Jones To Minor League Deal
The Cubs have signed infielder/outfielder Greg Jones to a minor league deal, according to his transactions tracker at MLB.com.

He has appeared in 21 contests, suiting up […]

The Mariners announced that infielder/outfielder Miles Mastrobuoni has cleared waivers and been sent outright to Triple-A Tacoma. He has the right to elect free agency but MLBTR has learned that he will accept the assignment. Mastrobuoni has been a light-hitting utility/depth player for many years now. In 208 big league games for the Rays, Cubs […]

[…]
Padres Discussing Wandy Peralta In Trade Talks

Garrett Crochet Targeting Return From IL By Playoffs
Red Sox left-hander Garrett Crochet hasn’t pitched since April and it doesn’t appear as though he’ll be back anytime soon. The left tells Tim Healey of The Boston Globe that he is targeting a return in time for the playoffs. It’s been a confounding season for Crochet. He posted a 6.30 earned run average in […]

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
