Any given MLB season has a standout rookie, but a first-year player can occasionally electrify the sport. The latest example is Pittsburgh Pirates ace Paul Skenes, who rapidly ascended through the minors to make his debut in 2024. Within a few months, the phenom commanded the spotlight as the National League's starting pitcher in the All-Star Game.

The Los Angeles Dodgers could be on the verge of making a massive trade as the deadline approaches.

Dodgers Have Spoken With AL Team About Massive Trade: Report

The Los Angeles Dodgers reportedly have Chicago White Sox left-handed starter Garrett Crochet "at the top" of their list as the July 30 trade deadline approaches. "Chicago White Sox lefty Garrett Crochet is considered to be at the top of the Dodgers' list, regardless of whether he's a starter or a reliever the rest of the way (Crochet, a converted starter, has already topped 100 innings after throwing no more than 65 in a season dating to his days at Tennessee)," ESPN's Alden Gonzalez wrote. "He could be, at the very least, a key multi-inning member of the Dodgers' bullpen -- but the White Sox will ask for a return based on his value as a starter nonetheless."

A new report by USA Today’s Bob Nightengale details the Philadelphia Phillies’ narrowing options for trade candidates. This comes as the July 30 trade deadline is quickly approaching. It has been widely reported that the Phillies want a right-handed outfield bat to platoon with Brandon Marsh in left field. This is because Marsh struggles against left-handed pitching. In 49 at-bats against left-handed pitchers this season, he has a .378 OPS and a 10 wRC+. Some of the names mentioned by other reporters for this role were ruled out by Nightengale. While Matt Gelb of The Athletic has stated that team control is not a factor, someone on an expiring contract is likely to fill this role.
