Mets To Begin Fielding Offers For Deadline Sell-Off
The deadline sale in Queens appears to be underway. Chelsea Janes of SNY and Jon Heyman of The New York Post each report that the 41-57 Mets are informing other teams they’re willing to begin trade conversations on the majority of the roster. Both reports suggest the Mets aren’t interested in moving Juan Soto or any […]
Greg Jones Elects Free Agency
Utility player Greg Jones elected free agency after clearing outright waivers, reports Todd Rosiak of The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel. The Brewers designated him for assignment over the weekend when they acquired Braden Shewmake from Houston. Jones had two brief stints on Milwaukee’s big league roster this year. He made 12 appearances, starting seven of them. Jones went […]
Orioles Place Blaze Alexander On Injured List
July 16: Baltimore has officially placed Alexander on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to July 13. First baseman Christian Encarnacion-Strand was recalled from Triple-A Norfolk to take his place on the active roster. Encarnacion-Strand was acquired from Cincinnati in April and has been in Triple-A all season. July 12: The Orioles’ 8-2 win over the Royals […]
MLB Mailbag: Cardinals, Horwitz, Pirates, Mariners, Mets, Rushing
This week’s MLB Mailbag will tackle several Cardinals questions from readers, in addition to quandaries on the Pirates’ lineup and trade targets, the Mariners’ pitching staff and lineup needs, the Mets’ deadline approach, and Dalton Rushing‘s future in Los Angeles. (Note that questions are lightly edited for clarity.) I’ve grouped a bundle of Cardinals-related questions […]
Athletics Notes: Deadline, Lopez, Guerra
The Athletics recently went ice cold, a fact acknowledged general manager David Forst today. “Unfortunately, it’s colored a lot by the way we played the past three weeks,” Forst said of the club’s first half, per Martín Gallegos of MLB.com. He said that they did play well for a while but admitted that they “obviously […]
Phillies Place Brad Keller On IL With UCL Tear
The Phillies announced that right-hander Brad Keller has been placed on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to July 13, with a tear in the ulnar collateral ligament of his right elbow. Fellow righty Seth Johnson has been recalled to take his spot on the roster. It’s rough news for Keller and the team. The club […]
Nationals Trade Robert Hassell III To Pirates
The Nationals announced Thursday that they’ve traded outfielder Robert Hassell III to the Pirates in exchange for cash or a player to be named later. Washington recently designated the former first-round pick and top prospect for assignment. He cleared waivers a few days ago and was outrighted to Triple-A. As such, he was not on […]
Mets Designate Zack Short For Assignment
The Mets announced that infielder Marcus Semien has been reinstated from the 10-day injured list. Fellow infielder Zack Short has been designated for assignment in a corresponding move. The club’s 40-man roster count drops to 39. Semien’s return from the IL is surprisingly quick. A left hip flexor strain put him on the shelf June […]
Trade Deadline Outlook: Chicago Cubs
Two 10-game winning streaks helped fuel the Cubs' 27-12 start to the season, but a 7-22 mark over their next 29 games left Chicago with an even .500 record on June 10. Just when things were getting dire, the Cubs went 20-8 in the month before the All-Star break, leaving the team with a solid […]
Trade Deadline Outlook: Houston Astros
The Astros have rallied in almost unthinkable fashion, shaking off a cavalcade of injuries that sunk them to a 20-31 nadir as deep into the season as May 20. They’ve not only bounced back with a 27-20 record since that low point, they’ve done so despite long-term absences for several key players. Jeremy Peña, Hunter […]
The Opener: Phillies/Mets, Deadline Outlooks, Payroll Tracker

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 […]
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 […]
