The Houston Astros were looking to add another top-end starting pitcher, and after pulling it off does that mean they’ve just won the 2019 World Series? The 2019 MLB trade deadline was mostly sleepy, with few big names changing teams. But the Houston Astros shook things up and pulled off a huge move, getting Zack
The MLB trade deadline has come and gone and the Yankees didn’t make any big trades, leaving fans scratching their heads.

The Cleveland Indians made a major trade, sending Trevor Bauer to the Cincinnati Reds in a three-team deal. They severely upgraded their outfield, making this a move for now.

The New York Mets beat their crosstown rivals to the punch and acquired Marcus Stroman. With Stroman no longer available who’s on the Yankees board now? New York Yankees general manager Brian Cashman is plugged in with every team except for the Boston Red Sox. Makes sense seeing as that’s how he operates, and always
As the time before the 2019 MLB trade deadline can now be measured in hours, should teams treat prospects as untouchable commodities? The line between being an MLB trade deadline buyer or seller is consistently blurred since the advent of the second Wild Card, as teams don’t know what to do or don’t want to
The Chicago Cubs need some help at second base, and their focus has moved to Jonathan Villar. With Ben Zobrist out of the mix for awhile, Addison Russell recently being sent down and Daniel Descalso on the IL, the Chicago Cubs are in the market for a second baseman.

Trevor Bauer, a leading target to be moved before Wednesday’s trade deadline, had a disastrous outing on Sunday that ended in embarrassing fashion.

The Red Sox are winners of seven of their last 10 games and are well within striking distance of the postseason. It’s time to add a better late-innings option.

The Minnesota Twins seem to have a wide window to win, but they need to take the opportunity to go all-in for this year and get Noah Syndergaard. Since early June, the Minnesota Twins have seen their lead in the AL Central trimmed from 11.5 to two games as the Cleveland Indians have mowed through
It behooves the Mets to build for the future, and each day that passes diminishes Noah Syndergaard’s value. The New York Mets season has become a disaster after spending the entire winter compiling pieces to field a competitive team with playoff aspirations. Robinson Cano has an OBP below .300 and an OPS barely above .700.
Yankees ace Luis Severino is still rehabbing from a lat issue, but when he returns, the bullpen isn’t the best long-term place for him.
