Now that the MLB Draft is over as well as the trade deadline there are quite a few teams that have new players at the top of their farm systems. The Minnesota Twins, for one, have added two top 100 guys according to MLB Pipeline.
Now that the dust has settled on the trade deadline and we head into August, it is time to take a look at how the stretch run will play out.
The deadline gave us five different approaches from the teams in the AL West. Now that the dust has settled and we are about to turn the calendar to the dog days of August, the division looks like a two-team race.
The San Francisco Giants bring back southpaw Tony Watson to bolster their bullpen.
Veteran left-hander, Jon Lester is heading to the St. Louis Cardinals as the Washington Nationals are not done making deals.
After spending his first six MLB seasons in the city of Brotherly Love, Freddy Galvis is returning.
The Philadelphia Phillies added Kyle Gibson to their rotation and Ian Kennedy to their bullpen in a deal with the Texas Rangers.
The Washington Nationals continue to sell at the deadline. They have traded catcher Yan Gomes and infielder Josh Harrison to the Oakland A’s.
The Detroit Tigers are rebuilding. That is not a secret. Although they sit in third place in the American League Central, the division belongs to the Chicago White Sox. Let’s take a look at what Detroit will do.
The Philadelphia Phillies are in the unenviable position of being caught in the middle. The New York Mets lead the East and the Atlanta Braves just traded for Joc Pederson to replace their injured superstar Ronlad Acuna Jr. What will the Phillies do?
We all knew the Minnesota Twins were going to be sellers at the deadline, and they started already. It is likely the Twins are not done yet either.
We all remember how the Nationals went 19-31 in their first 50 games and managed to win the World Series in 2019. Let’s not think that is a normal occurrence.
