Cubs Have Discussed Carson Kelly In Trade Talks
Though the Cubs are approaching the deadline looking to add to the roster, they’ve also discussed catcher Carson Kelly with some of the many clubs who are seeking catching upgrades this summer, ESPN’s Jeff Passan reports.

This week’s MLB Mailbag will feature questions on the Phillies’ myriad needs and thin farm system, who the Mariners could target if they’re really going to move Emerson Hancock, the Padres’ rotation needs, some post-deadline prospects to watch and some areas of need for current sellers to target on the trade market. (Note: Some questions […]
Phillies Interested In Daulton Varsho
The Phillies are interested in Blue Jays outfielder Daulton Varsho, reports Jon Heyman of The New York Post.

Jeff […]
Athletics Claim Connor Thomas
The Athletics announced that they have claimed left-hander Connor Thomas off waivers from the Braves. Right-hander Mark Leiter Jr. was transferred to the 60-day injured list as a corresponding move. There wasn’t any previous indication that Thomas had been designated for assignment by Atlanta but they apparently tried to quietly sneak him through waivers. Their […]
Yankees, Braves, Rangers Among Teams Looking For Right-Handed Outfielder
Right-handed bats are at a premium this deadline. The Mariners and Phillies were already known to be looking for help against lefty pitching, but there’s ample competition for righty-hitting outfielders in particular. Jorge Castillo of ESPN and Bryan Hoch of MLB.com each report that the Yankees have been seeking a right-handed hitting outfielder — a […]
Orioles Open To Moving Righty Bullpen Arm
The Orioles completed a seven-run comeback to take two of three from the Tigers on Wednesday. They’re off today and will play a three-game set against the Phillies this weekend as the lead-up to the deadline. Baltimore sits three games under .500 at 53-56 but find themselves in the muddled AL Wild Card picture. They’re […]
Rangers Place Jakob Junis On Injured List
The Rangers announced that right-hander Jakob Junis has been placed on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to July 29, with a left adductor strain. Right-hander Winston Santos has been recalled in a corresponding move. It’s unclear how serious the injury is or how much time Junis is expected to miss. Either way, it’s a notable […]
Royals Focused Primarily On Moving Rental Players
The Royals are obvious deadline sellers, but their efforts over the next few days will focus primarily on trading players on expiring contracts, reports Mark Feinsand of MLB.com.

Ten Controllable Bullpen Trade Candidates
Almost every contender will be involved in the bullpen market over the next five days. Trade prices for relief pitching are accordingly high every deadline season. There are plenty of obvious trade candidates who we’ve discussed for weeks at MLBTR (e.g. Luke Weaver, Brooks Raley, Antonio Senzatela). Most of them are within a year or two of […]

D-Backs Remove Paul Sewald From Closer Role

White Sox Among “Most Active Suitors” For Rotation Upgrades
After losing 102 games in 2025, the White Sox have shattered expectations by putting up a 55-51 record and reaching first place in the AL Central. The team is positioned to buy at the trade deadline, and as MLBTR’s Mark Polishuk covered in our Trade Deadline Outlook series for Front Office subscribers, the Sox are […]
Brad Keller Undergoes UCL Surgery
The Phillies announced that reliever Brad Keller underwent a UCL reconstruction (Tommy John surgery) with an internal brace and flexor repair on Wednesday. The recovery is 13-16 months, so there’s a decent chance he’ll miss the entire 2027 season. Keller was already known to be out for this season after being diagnosed with a UCL tear […]
Dodgers Activate Edwin Díaz
The Dodgers reinstated closer Edwin Díaz from the 60-day injured list, per a club announcement. Lefty Charlie Barnes was designated for assignment to create space on the active and 40-man rosters.
