MLB Trade Rumors
Will the Mets ultimately trade Pete Alonso before the deadline?
The Mets head to London for a World Tour series against the Phillies this weekend. Even after sweeping the Nationals, New York owns a 27-35 record that has them above just the Rockies and Marlins in the National League. They’re remarkably only 3.5 games out of the wild-card race, a...
Jays getting creative with lineup amid wait-and-see approach to trade deadline
The Blue Jays enter the summer as one of the most fascinating teams to monitor ahead of July's trade deadline. Sitting with a disappointing 29-32 record that has them in the AL East cellar, Toronto could upend the trade market if names like Bo Bichette, Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Danny Jansen, Chris Bassitt, Yusei Kikuchi and others are made available to contending teams. They’ve not yet reached the point where that’s under consideration, however.
Diamondbacks Claim Thyago Vieira
The D-backs claimed hard-throwing righty Thyago Vieira off waivers from the Orioles, who’d previously designated him for assignment, per an announcement out of Baltimore. The Diamondbacks already have two open spots on the 40-man roster and thus will only need to open a 26-man roster spot for the out-of-options Vieira.
Pirates to sign reliever to major league deal to boost depth
The Pirates are going to sign left-hander Justin Bruihl to a major league deal Thursday afternoon, reports Alex Stumpf of MLB.com on X. They will need to make a corresponding move or moves to get him onto their 40-man and active rosters. The lefty signed a minor league deal with...
Rockies recall 2019 first-round pick for MLB debut
The Rockies are set to recall infielder/outfielder Greg Jones from Triple-A Albuquerque for what’ll be his major league debut, reports Thomas Harding of MLB.com. Jones is already with the club in St. Louis, and the Rockies appear set to place not only Kris Bryant (as reported Wednesday ) but also fellow outfielder Sean Bouchard on the injured list. Harding notes that Bouchard, who exited Wednesday night’s game with an apparent foot or ankle injury (video link), was on crutches after the game.
Reds hoping minor league stint can straighten out struggling starter
The Reds announced Thursday that they’ve optioned struggling right-hander Graham Ashcraft to Triple-A Louisville. His spot on the roster will go to reliever Emilio Pagan, who’s being reinstated after a stint on the 15-day injured list due to a triceps injury. It’s the first time Ashcraft, 26, has...
Former Padres top prospect emerging as ace of Marlins' rotation
At last year’s trade deadline, the Marlins and Padres made a trade that largely flew under the radar at the time but is now proving to be fairly significant. The Fish sent Garrett Cooper and minor league pitcher Sean Reynolds to the Friars for left-hander Ryan Weathers. Trades of...
Rangers get updates on several injured players
The Rangers placed Evan Carter on the injured list last week, initially announcing the issue as back tightness. Manager Bruce Bochy provided more specifics Tuesday, telling reporters that the rookie left fielder is dealing with a stress reaction, via Kennedi Landry of MLB.com. Texas expects Carter to miss upwards of a month.
Royals Sign Kevin Padlo To Minor League Deal
The Royals signed Kevin Padlo to a minor league contract. The deal was announced by Kansas City’s Double-A team in Northwest Arkansas, where the infielder will report in his new organization. It’s a bit of a step down for Padlo, who had been in Triple-A after signing an offseason...
Orioles set to promote No. 5 prospect Cade Povich
The Orioles are calling up pitching prospect Cade Povich to start Thursday's series finale with the Blue Jays, manager Brandon Hyde told the team’s beat via Danielle Allentuck of the Baltimore Banner. Roch Kubatko of MASNsports.com reported Wednesday morning that Povich was meeting the team in Toronto, initially as a member of the taxi squad.
Rockies are planning to place Kris Bryant back on the 10-day IL
The Rockies expect to send Kris Bryant back to the 10-day injured list, Bud Black told reporters after Wednesday’s loss to the Reds (video relayed on X by Patrick Lyons). The Colorado manager said Bryant’s rib soreness “didn’t really respond to treatment,” necessitating the IL trip. Thomas Harding of MLB.com writes that first baseman Michael Toglia is likely to be recalled in a corresponding move.
White Sox, Michael Chavis Agree To Minor League Deal
The White Sox have agreed to a minor league contract with infielder Michael Chavis, reports Jesse Rogers of ESPN (X link). The CAA client opted out of a non-roster deal with the Mariners over the weekend. Brian Anderson, who opted out of a contract with Seattle at the same time,...
Athletics lefty is generating plenty of trade interest
The Athletics are getting plenty of trade interest in left-hander JP Sears, according to a report from Jeff Passan of ESPN, though Passan adds that the A’s are unlikely to move him. It’s a similar situation with right-hander Mason Miller, as Passan relays that the A’s are willing to...
White Sox ready to listen to offers on two major trade chips
The White Sox are baseball’s worst team by a long shot and seemed to acknowledge that likelihood even before the season began when they traded Dylan Cease to the Padres in spring training. San Diego is already reportedly interested in yet another Sox pitcher, lefty Garrett Crochet, with ESPN’s Jeff Passan reporting that the Sox are open to offers not only on Crochet but on center fielder Luis Robert Jr. Passan categorizes the ChiSox as “open for business” and lists Robert, Crochet, Erick Fedde and virtually all of the team’s short-term veterans as players who could be moved between now and the trade deadline.
Cubs top pitching prospect shut down for up to four weeks
Cubs pitching prospect Cade Horton has a moderate subscapularis strain, reports Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune on X. The righty will be shut down for three to four weeks and then will have to build back up at that point. Horton, 22, is one of the best pitching prospects...
Mets release controversial reliever and former All-Star catcher
The Mets announced Wednesday that they’ve released veteran catcher Omar Narvaez and right-hander Jorge Lopez. Both were recently designated for assignment, and both are now free agents. New York also selected the contract of catcher Joe Hudson from Triple-A Syracuse, moving righty Shintaro Fujinami to the 60-day injured list to open a roster spot. Hudson is a candidate to serve as an extra player for the Mets’ London Series against the Phillies, where each team will be granted a 27th player.
Brewers lose standout rookie starter to elbow injury
The Brewers announced Wednesday that they have recalled left-hander Aaron Ashby and right-hander Tobias Myers from Triple-A Nashville. Lefty Robert Gasser has been placed on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to June 2, with a left flexor strain while right-hander Janson Junk was optioned to Triple-A Nashville. Gasser, 25, started...
Cubs could be an active buyer ahead of trade deadline
The 2024 Cubs surged out to a 17-10 start for the season’s first month, turning in a +20 run differential and looking every bit like a favorite in the National League Central. The script has flipped over the past month-plus, however, as Chicago has gone 12-19 and allowed 25 more runs than they’ve scored in the 31 games since. They’re now six games back of a Brewers club that holds a relatively commanding lead in the division.
Marlins Outright Woo-Suk Go
The Marlins announced yesterday that right-hander Woo-Suk Go went unclaimed on outright waivers following last week’s DFA. He’s been assigned back to Triple-A Jacksonville, where he’ll continue to pitch but will no longer occupy a spot on the 40-man roster. The 25-year-old Go was a star closer...
Journeyman pitcher elects free agency
Right-hander Dinelson Lamet, who’d been pitching with the Dodgers’ Triple-A affiliate in Oklahoma City, has elected free agency, per the transaction log at MiLB.com. Presumably, the minor league deal he inked with the Dodgers back in February contained an early June opt-out date that he chose to exercise.
