MLB trade deadline rumors: Mets could move big-league roster pieces; Cardinals dangle starting pitcher
The second half (mathematically inaccurate) is underway and the deadline for trade is only 10 days. The pencils should be down at 6 p.m. HE on Thursday July 31. Commercial chatter and activity will now resume that the amateur project is in the rear view mirror and that the front offices can focus their attention on the deadline. Here are the rumors of the Monday trade deadline.
Ready to move young infielders
The dishes are ready to exchange a young group of fields Luisangel AcuñaBrett Baty, Ronny Mauricio and Mark Venos, according to The Athletic. With Francisco Lindor enriched at the stop and Pete Alonso at the beginning, as well as Jeff McNeil obtaining most of the action to the second goal, there is only a lot of playing time available for these young Infielders.
The dishes must upgrade their enclosure on the deadline more than anything. Bring an upgrade of the central field on the figures of Tyrone Taylor to also be on the list of tasks, although this is not easy. In all likelihood, the dishes are only ready to exchange one of these young infielders for one or more controllable players, not just a rental lift for the stretching race and the playoffs.
Cardinals Shopping Fedde
Leaving a scan in the hands of the Diamondbacks, the cardinals have been sold lately, but it is not yet certain that this will be the case. What is certain is that they are veterans of the right -hander starter Erick Fedde, whom they see themselves as pretenders leading on July 31, as the Athletic reported on Monday. Fedde is expected to start on Tuesday against the Rockies, and the cardinals undoubtedly hope that he can reverse his recent fortune. He will enter this outing after granting 20 points in 14 rounds in his last four departures.
In normal circumstances, Fedde would probably have lost his point of rotation against Michael McGreevy, but apparently, the cardinals stick to Fedde to see if he can recover a commercial value during the next two departures. Fedde is due to the balance of a salary of $ 7.5 million for 2025 and is eligible for the free agency.
Cubs looking at Suárez for the third base
Add the cubs to the list of eye teams on the third Diamondbacks base player Eugenio Suárez Before the deadline, according to athletics. Recruit Matt Shaw was disappointed with the plate while impressive by the glove in the third. Chicago believes that it is very aggressive on the deadline knowing that it is their only year guaranteed with Kyle Tucker, who will be a free agent this winter.
Beyond the third basis, the Cubs also need a launcher leaving following the End of season elbow surgery of Justin Steele, and of course the enclosure help. Each competitor wants aid to the enclosure of the surveys. Chicago has a deep perspective swimming pool with the Slugging Owen Caissie voltiseur may be most likely to move. If a cashier trade can allow the cubs an impact part, it must be on the table.
Athletics open to moving starting launchers
The A listen to the right offers Luis Severino and the left -handers JP Sears and Jeffrey Springs, reports athletics. The market is short of quality pitching and the three launchers are under the control of contracts / teams for at least one year.
Springs, 33 years old in September, was the best starter of the A this season. He owed $ 10.5 million in 2026 with a 15 million dollars club option for 2027, which is more than reasonable for a midst of rotation. Sears is in its inexpensive team years and a guy of lasting sleeves, although that with a Home Run problem. Severino, which was Critique of the situation of the stadium in Sacramentohas an MPM of 3.10 on the road and a 6.68 MPM at Sutter Health Park. A have a strong offensive heart. They must improve the pitch around it now.
Orioles focused on moving rentals
Unsurprisingly, the Orioles 44-54 are focused on the exchange of their rental players on the deadline, said managing director Mike Elias during an interview on the radio of the MLB network during the weekend. “We must be realistic about our situation … insofar as we have players who interest the other clubs, who arrive at the end of their contracts, we have to listen to this,” said Elias.
Baltimore has a long list of rentals. The starters Zach Eflin and the resurgence Charlie Morton will arouse interests, the readers ditto Serrantony Domínguez and Gregory Soto. Central Fielder Cedric Mullins, first goal player Ryan O’Hearn and Peloton from the peloton Ramón Laureano Also arrive in free agency. Everything will be in demand, but none is to bring back a massive return.
Dodgers looking for an aid to the enclosure of the lifts at the end of the round
Despite the expenses of more than $ 100 million to re-signate Blake Treinen and sign Tanner Scott and Kirby Yates during the offseason, the Dodgers are on the enclosure assistance market on the deadlines, reports USA Today. They would have checked with the twins on Jhoan Duran, the pirates on David Bednar, the cardinals of Ryan Helsley and the guards of Emmanuel Clase, among others.
Scott and Yates both disappointed and were lying at home, and Treinen missed a large part of the season with a forearm problem, although it is expected soon. Alex Vesia generally obtains the biggest withdrawals for the manager Dave Roberts each evening. Dodgers must add at least one more lift to lighten the load on Vesia and just to give Roberts another option of trust.
