July 26: With Giants trending toward selling, Snell drawing significant trade interest (reports)

With a 49-55 record and just an 11.3% chance of making the postseason (per FanGraphs’ playoff odds), the Giants are looking like a Trade Deadline seller, and an unlikely name on San Francisco’s roster has emerged as a popular trade candidate.

According to Andrew Baggarly of The Athletic (subscription required), Blake Snell has been drawing significant trade interest. And MLB Network insider Jon Heyman reports that there are five teams with "some level of interest" in Snell.

Less than three weeks ago, a Snell trade would have seemed highly unlikely. Although Snell is a two-time Cy Young Award winner, he had a 9.51 ERA over his first six starts this season and spent time on the injured list with a left adductor strain and a left groin strain. With the way he was performing, it was hard to see any team taking on his contract, which guarantees him $30 million in 2025 but also gives him the ability to opt out this offseason.

But since returning from the latter injury on July 9, Snell has looked more like his old self, posting a 1.00 ERA while allowing just six hits in 18 innings over his past three starts.

With the Giants likely selling, outfielder Michael Conforto (pending free agent), reliever Taylor Rogers (signed through 2025) and starter Alex Cobb (pending free agent) are also candidates to be dealt.

Cobb is a particularly interesting name, as he prepares to make his season debut after missing the entire year while dealing with several arm-related setbacks in his recovery from offseason hip surgery. The 36-year-old registered a 3.79 ERA with a 3.36 K/BB ratio over 74 starts from 2021-23.

San Francisco could also shop third baseman Matt Chapman, who can opt out of the final two years on his three-year, $54 million deal at the end of 2024. After a cold start, Chapman has recorded six homers and an .886 OPS over his past 26 games, and he remains a strong defender at the hot corner.

July 26: Which Rays players could be next to go?

The first big move of Trade Deadline season went down early Friday morning, with the Rays sending outfielder Randy Arozarena to the Mariners for two prospects. Tampa Bay followed that up by dealing right-hander Zach Eflin to the Orioles on Friday afternoon. Having previously dealt pitchers Aaron Civale and Phil Maton, Tampa Bay has now traded away four notable players this month.

Although the Rays sit at 52-51 -- four games out of a Wild Card spot in the American League -- entering Friday and also intend to remain competitive in 2025, they could trade away a few other players in the coming days.

With Junior Caminero (MLB Pipeline's No. 3 overall prospect) waiting in the wings at Triple-A and bats in high demand, rival general managers expect the Rays to move third baseman Isaac Paredes (arbitration-eligible for the second time this offseason, controllable through 2027) in hopes of a big return, according to ESPN's Jeff Passan (subscription required). Chandler Rome of The Athletic (subscription required) previously reported that the Astros are interested in the 25-year-old Paredes.

The Rays are also expected to entertain offers on first baseman Yandy Díaz (owed $10 million in 2024), who led the AL in batting average at .330 in 2023. The 32-year-old has taken a step back this season (he's currently hitting .273 with a .726 OPS) but could still be a fit for contending clubs. The Astros, Mariners and Pirates are potential landing spots for Díaz, sources told MLB.com's Mark Feinsand.

It’s possible the Rays could shop second baseman Brandon Lowe, too, if they don’t intend to pick up his $10.5 million club option for next season. (Lowe also has an $11.5 million club option for 2026.) Lowe has been red hot lately, hitting .285 with 11 homers, 25 RBIs and a .970 OPS over his past 35 games.

July 26: Are the Dodgers best positioned to land Crochet?

While recent reports indicate that trading for Crochet may be more complicated than initially anticipated, Joel Sherman of the New York Post writes that there is one team that may be better positioned than others to acquire the flamethrowing left-hander.

Crochet reportedly will not pitch in the postseason this year if he does not receive a contract extension from the team acquiring him in a potential trade. That could eliminate some suitors.

Sherman notes that the Dodgers have both the means and the motivation to land Crochet from the White Sox before Tuesday's Trade Deadline. More >

July 26: Astros eyeing Flaherty, Taillon, others in search for rotation help

Despite currently sitting in first place in the AL West, the Astros haven't been able to field a full-strength rotation at any point this season, having already lost three starters (J.P. France, Cristian Javier and José Urquidy) to season-ending injuries. Both Lance McCullers Jr. (right forearm surgery) and Luis Garcia (Tommy John surgery) have hit snags in their rehab processes, with McCullers currently completely shut down from throwing. Justin Verlander, currently on the IL with a neck issue, has made just 10 starts in 2024.

These issues won't be resolved ahead of the 2025 season, either. France, Javier and Urquidy aren't likely to return from their respective injuries until later in the season, and Verlander's 2025 option, dependent on him throwing 140 innings this season, will not vest, making him an impending free agent.

As a result, the club is looking to add a starting pitcher prior to the Trade Deadline. MLB.com's Jon Paul Morosi reports that the Astros are eying Tigers right-hander Jack Flaherty and White Sox right-hander Erick Fedde. Houston also has interest in the Cubs’ Jameson Taillon, as do the Orioles, Yankees and Red Sox, according to MLB.com’s Mark Feinsand. The Astros are also showing interest in left-hander Yusei Kikuchi of the Blue Jays, according to Chandler Rome of The Athletic (subscription required). Houston was linked to Zach Eflin as well before the Rays traded him to the Orioles on Friday.

In addition to being right-handers in their early 30s, Fedde and Taillon both have something in common: they are under contract for 2025 -- Taillon for $18 million (he is also signed for $18 million in 2026) and Fedde for $7.5 million.

July 26: Crochet's chances of being dealt may be dwindling

For contending clubs, the calculus around acquiring White Sox ace Garrett Crochet at the Trade Deadline appears to have become a bit more difficult.

The left-hander is said to desire a long-term contract extension before agreeing to pitch in the postseason, according to a report Thursday from MLB Network insider Jon Heyman. Crochet has already thrown 111 1/3 innings, more than he did in three combined seasons as a reliever, and there are questions about his workload as Tuesday's Trade Deadline nears.

The Athletic (subscription required) reported that Crochet believes maintaining a starter's workload is best for his long-term health and that he is not interested in moving into a hybrid or relief role without the guarantee of an extension. If so, it could certainly affect the trade value of Crochet, the American League strikeouts leader with 157.

Following up on Friday, ESPN's Jeff Passan (subscription required) reported that Crochet's stance stunned general managers around the game who were previously interested in trading for the lefty. As a result, his chances of being traded before the Deadline have taken "a substantial hit." More >

July 26: Could Mets reunite with Conforto?

The Mets have won 30 of their last 43 games to vault themselves back into the NL Wild Card picture, moving them from a position of likely seller to potential buyer. As the club looks to continue its surge down the home stretch of the season, could it reunite with one of its former stars in the process?

According to Mike Puma of the New York Post, the Mets are "open to adding a left-handed bat" and have communicated with the Giants about outfielder Michael Conforto. More >

July 26: Will these sellers hold onto their coveted bats?

With the trade market for bats already incredibly thin, the list of options for buyers in need of offensive help appears to be getting even shorter.

Rockies third baseman Ryan McMahon and A’s outfielder Brent Rooker are two of the more coveted hitters on the market, but both players could end up staying put at the Trade Deadline.

According to MLB.com's Mark Feinsand, teams have been reaching out to the Rockies about McMahon, but Colorado does not appear intent on moving the 29-year-old, who is signed through 2027.

Meanwhile, ESPN’s Jeff Passan (subscription required) reports that teams seeking outfield help get the sense the A’s are leaning toward keeping Rooker, one of the hottest hitters in baseball with 11 homers and a 1.253 OPS over his past 24 games. Rooker, 29, is controllable through 2027.

July 26: Latest on Dodgers’ reported trade targets

While the Dodgers are exploring a number of big-name trade candidates to bolster their pitching staff and outfield, they may need to recalibrate their search as the Trade Deadline approaches.

One of their reported outfield targets, Randy Arozarena, is now off the board after the Rays traded him to the Mariners early Friday morning.

Meanwhile, reports that Chicago left-hander Garrett Crochet -- a pitcher to whom the Dodgers have been consistently linked -- could sit out the postseason unless he signs a contract extension could complicate his trade value. More >

July 26: Where does OF market stand following Mariners' acquisition of Arozarena?

Early Friday morning (or late Thursday night, depending on your location), the Mariners added some much-needed offense by trading for Randy Arozarena from the Rays. And this might just be the tip of the iceberg when it comes to outfielders moving around during Deadline week.

For starters, the White Sox have a pair of outfielders whose names have heavily been thrown around in trade rumors, in Luis Robert Jr. and Tommy Pham. Robert specifically has been linked to the Phillies and Dodgers in the past few days, and both have strong chances of moving given that the 27-78 White Sox should heavily be in "sell" mode.

Another name that has often appeared in rumors recently has been the Marlins' Jazz Chisholm Jr. -- but his next stop might not be as an outfielder. Reports have indicated that several teams are interested in having Chisholm return to his previous position of second base.

The A's Brent Rooker is one of the hottest hitters in baseball, slashing .375/.447/.807 with 11 homers in his past 24 games, so he should draw a ton of interest despite his defensive limitations. He's controllable through 2027, though, so it remains to be seen if he'll be traded in the next few days.

Beyond these names, other outfielders whose names are swirling in the trade rumor circle include Kevin Pillar, Taylor Ward and Jesse Winker.

July 25: How will Miller's injury impact the reliever market?

In the wake of the news that A's flamethrowing closer Mason Miller has been placed on the injured list with a fractured left pinky finger, the top reliever potentially available on the trade market will be unavailable to pitch, with no timetable for a return. How does that impact the overall relief pitcher market with the Trade Deadline less than a week away?

In short, it likely will intensify the activity surrounding the top names remaining on the relief market. While Miller was in his own echelon, considering how dominant he's been and the fact that he has five years of club control remaining, there are some other attractive options for teams looking to bolster the bullpen. That includes the Angels' Carlos Estévez, the Marlins' Tanner Scott, the Nationals' Kyle Finnegan and the Rangers' Kirby Yates.

Estévez has been one of the game's best closers this season, posting a 2.38 ERA with 20 saves. Scott was named an All-Star this year for the first time in his career. He owns a 1.21 ERA with 18 saves for Miami. Finnegan also earned his first career All-Star selection thanks to a breakout season so far -- the right-hander has posted a 2.32 ERA with 28 saves for Washington. Yates has been enjoying a resurgent campaign, with the veteran right-hander pitching to a 1.22 ERA with a 35.7% strikeout rate for Texas.

Estévez, Scott and Yates are each scheduled to become free agents after this season, whereas Finnegan has a year of club control remaining after this one.

July 25: Defending champs 'going for it' (report)

The Rangers have won five straight games and 13 of 19 this month, vaulting the defending World Series champions back into the postseason race. And according to Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic (subscription required), Texas is "going for it" as the Trade Deadline approaches.

Rosenthal notes that the Rangers are expecting the imminent return of several key players, including two-time Cy Young Award winner Jacob deGrom, and are looking to add "either a left-handed hitting outfielder/DH or a platoon-neutral right-handed hitter."

One specific name Rosenthal floats is Yandy Díaz. The Rays' first baseman/DH is currently on the restricted list due to what the Rays have described as "a personal matter," but he's been very productive over the past three seasons in particular -- since 2022, he has posted a .302/.386/.453 slash line, winning the AL batting title last year by hitting .330.

July 25: Will the next week be a busy one for suddenly hot Padres?

After losing eight of their first 12 games this month, the Padres have won five straight and find themselves in the thick of the NL Wild Card race. Will GM A.J. Preller, who tends to be an aggressive player during Trade Deadline season, bolster San Diego's roster ahead of the stretch run? It appears the Padres have interest in doing just that in multiple areas of need.

According to MLB Network insider Jon Heyman in an article for the New York Post, the Padres are showing interest at the top of the starting pitcher market -- namely, White Sox left-hander Garrett Crochet -- and possibly looking for help behind the plate. Heyman mentions Rockies catcher Elias Díaz as a possible fit.

In the case of Crochet, Dennis Lin reports in The Athletic (subscription required) that Preller may be aggressive in pursuit of the flamethrowing southpaw. Another starting pitcher who is reportedly on San Diego's list of potential acquisitions is Tigers right-hander Jack Flaherty, who is having a resurgent year in his first season in Detroit.

The bullpen is another area of need for the Padres, and MLB.com's AJ Cassavell sees the possibility of San Diego adding multiple relievers prior to Tuesday's Trade Deadline -- one of the names he mentions is Nationals closer Kyle Finnegan.

July 25: Pirates scouting Jazz?

At 52-50, the Pirates are just 1 1/2 games out of an NL Wild Card spot. So it stands to reason, particularly with the powerful 1-2 punch of Paul Skenes and Jared Jones atop Pittsburgh's rotation, that the Bucs would be looking to bolster their roster for the stretch run.

According to Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic (subscription required), the Pirates are scouting Chisholm and fellow outfielder Bryan De La Cruz of the Marlins. More >

July 24: Might Yankees deal for Rays' pair to bolster lineup?

The Yankees' offense has been a two-man show of late -- Aaron Judge and Juan Soto have really been the only consistent contributors in the Bronx Bombers' lineup. That was evident again in their 12-3 loss to the Mets on Wednesday at Yankee Stadium, when Soto hit his 26th homer but the Yanks couldn't muster much more. The question as the July 30 Trade Deadline nears is: Will they be able to add offense via trade?

According to Joel Sherman in an article for the New York Post, a pair of options that the Yankees may be considering are from a division rival. More >
