- Rockies manager Bud Black admitted to MLB Network Radio’s Power Alley that “We’re going to do everything we can to upgrade our ball club” at the trade deadline, and Colorado has already reached out to the Orioles about Dylan Bundy and Colorado native Kevin Gausman.
- The A’s could be nearing a deal to send Yonder Alonso to the Yankees, as Oakland’s top scout was recently spotted checking out New York’s minor league talent. Low-A players Estevan Florial, Hoy Jun Park and Freicer Perez are all reportedly in play for the swap.
- Tampa Bay, New York, and Milwaukee are all reportedly very interested in Phillies reliever Pat Neshek. There’s no leader in the talks as of yet, but the 36-year old All-Star is in high demand as the deadline approaches.
- The Marlins are shopping a few players but are not currently listening to offers for any of their three outfielders Giancarlo Stanton, Christian Yelich, or Marcell Ozuna. As things stand, Miami will wait until the offseason to see about trade partners for the trio of stars.
- However, the Marlins could see David Phelps sent to the Brewers, who are reportedly in on the veteran reliever. Phelps is putting up a 3.45 ERA with 51 strikeouts and 21 walks this year so is just what a variety of teams need for the second half of the season.
- The Royals remain “aggressive” in their pursuit of starting pitchers before the deadline with Sonny Gray, Lance Lynn, and Julio Teheran in their sights as desired additions. With Nate Karns and Matt Strahm done for the season, Kansas City could really use the help in its push for a pennant this year. The Royals are also looking for someone who would stay with the team for multiple seasons while they do a semi-rebuild.
- The Yankees have allegedly reached out to the Mets about Addison Reed and Lucas Duda. They probably won’t touch either now that they’ve sealed a 7-player megatrade with the White Sox, but an intra-city trade is always fun, right?
- Owner Peter Angelos has officially given the Orioles front office permission to deal Zach Britton or Brad Brach to help the team rebuild, and they’ll explore the market to see what teams might have what they want to begin a partial rebuild.
