Yesterday’s MLB trade deadline was relatively quiet by usual standards, but these are the five biggest winners from the annual dealing derby. The ever-entertaining MLB trade deadline nearly came and went yesterday without any blockbuster moves. Leading up to the annual last-dash day for upgrading rosters, there was a widespread belief that this would be

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 last time the Yankees held a division lead like this heading into the trade deadline was in 2015. That season the Yankees flamed out and were ran down by the Toronto Blue Jays

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. Very rarely do teams fighting for a playoff spot trade a high-quality pitcher hours before the MLB trade deadline. However, if a team is going to

The market for relievers is heating up as the MLB trade deadline draws ever closer. The clock is ticking, and we are nearly inside 24 hours from the 2019 MLB trade deadline.

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. According to Roch Kubatko of MASN,
Trevor Bauer, a leading target to be moved before Wednesday’s trade deadline, had a disastrous outing on Sunday that ended in embarrassing fashion. Trevor Bauer may have made his last start in a Cleveland Indians uniform on Sunday. If so, he couldn’t have ended his Indians career any worse. Bauer gave up seven earned runs

Yasiel Puig looks like the top bat available on the trade market, and these five teams should be looking to get him. The National League race is tight, with all but one team (the Miami Marlins) within eight games of a playoff spot. The Cincinnati Reds are 7.5 games back of the second Wild Card entering

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.

With the trade deadline rapidly approaching, the Toronto Blue Jays front office and pitching ace Marcus Stroman don’t appear to be on the same page.

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. Luis Severino has yet to throw a single pitch for the Yankees this season, but the Yankees still have a commanding lead in the division. Regardless of the distance they’ve put
It was pretty much inevitable at this point, Troy Tulowitzki officially announced his retirement on Thursday. After missing all of last season with the Toronto Blue Jays following surgery to fix bone spurs in both of his heels, Troy Tulowitzki lasted five games this year with the New York Yankees before being sidelined by a
