If the Tigers transfer any of their relievers, Chicago could possibly be curious about Alex Lange or Jason Foley, each of whom stay beneath group management previous this yr. Lange is a former Cubs farmhand, and the Cubs may have an in with the entrance workplace: Tigers president Scott Harris started his profession at Wrigley.

It might be a fancy state of affairs, probably made much more troublesome by Verlander’s no-trade clause. If Blake Snell and Marcus Stroman are off the desk, and Logan Gilbert is not actually out there, Verlander — and probably Eduardo Rodriguez — could possibly be the final high-ceiling beginning pitcher remaining. The Dodgers aren’t anticipated so as to add one other starter if he is not of that caliber. — Alden Gonzalez

Phrase all through the trade as of Friday was that Padres GM AJ Preller nonetheless hadn’t determined whether or not to commerce Blake Snell and Josh Hader and basically punt on the 2023 season; he and his lieutenants needed to attend and see how the weekend performed out earlier than making a choice on Monday, the final full day earlier than the commerce deadline.

Effectively — the Padres swept the first-place Rangers, outscoring them 16-4 within the course of.

The Padres are nonetheless two video games beneath .500 and eight video games out of first place, they usually have but to win greater than three consecutive video games all season. However in addition they have a plus-63 run differential, have been one of the best defensive group in baseball primarily based on outs above common, and one may make the case that they have been usually unfortunate, going 0-9 in extra-inning video games and 6-17 in one-run video games and posting solely a .706 OPS with runners in scoring place. In different phrases, they are not fairly the Mets.

At this level, it’ll in all probability take a lot to pry Snell and Hader from the Padres (particularly Snell). — Gonzalez


India more likely to keep a Crimson: Any possibilities of Jonathan India getting traded this summer season have been in all probability put to relaxation Sunday, when the Reds positioned him on the injured record due to a bout with plantar fasciitis.

Angels additions proceed: The Angels continued to go all in on 2023 on Sunday, sending two extra prospects to the Rockies in change for first baseman C.J.

They’re all anticipated to turn out to be free brokers this offseason.

It value the Angels a complete of 5 prospects ranked inside the high 20 of their system, in accordance with MLB.com, together with two of the highest three. The most recent strikes have been a response to a lineup that’s with out Mike Trout and Anthony Rendon and is now with out Taylor Ward for the rest of the common season after he took an Alek Manoah fastball to the face on Saturday. The shortage of depth was inflicting groups to barely try and pitch to Shohei Ohtani. — Gonzalez


In St. Louis, Hicks and Montgomery are just the start: The trades of Jordan Hicks to the Toronto Blue Jays and Jordan Montgomery to the Texas Rangers are simply the beginning for the Cardinals, who’re in uncharted territory as a group transferring pending free brokers as a substitute of including assist in July. Starter Jack Flaherty is pretty much as good as gone, with Baltimore and San Francisco searching for assistance on the mound. Infielder Paul DeJong could possibly be a part of a bundle with one of many pitchers, and outfielder Dylan Carlson, who has been scouted by the New York Yankees, could possibly be moved as effectively. St. Louis will look very totally different come Tuesday night time. — Rogers


Cubs shifting focus from subtracting to including: ​ Because the Cubs proceed so as to add wins to their pre-deadline streak, the group has determined to drag Cody Bellinger‘s identify off the commerce market, sources instructed ESPN.

Now that the Cubs are sure so as to add, bullpen wants are a high precedence. It is probably the group desires to stay beneath the primary luxurious tax threshold, so cheaper additions could possibly be so as. Rockies left-handers Brad Hand and Brent Suter match the invoice, however White Sox reliever Aaron Bummer is perhaps one of the best of the group just because he is a floor ball machine. The White Sox did not have the protection behind him to take benefit, however the Cubs do. Bummer is signed by way of subsequent season, so the return can be first rate for the White Sox, although contemplating he has a 6.69 ERA this yr, the Cubs in all probability would not have to surrender a high prospect to land him. — Rogers

Rangers make megadeal for Max Scherzer

The Mets’ surprisingly aggressive teardown continued on Saturday, by agreeing on a deal to ship three-time Cy Younger Award winner Max Scherzer to the first-place Texas Rangers and Scherzer waived his no-trade clause to finish the deal.

Rival executives say that AJ Preller, San Diego’s head of baseball operations, has been in touch with different groups and is assessing the commerce worth of a few of his most elite gamers — pitchers Josh Hader and Blake Snell and outfielder Juan Soto, included. The sense from different execs is that Preller would favor to maintain his group intact and even add by way of the deadline, however that he may pivot and determine to dump earlier than the deadline.
