The Rockies are clear sellers, though their record is better than many people would have anticipated at the start of this season. Still, it will be a long time before they surpass the elite three in the NL West, so Colorado should feel comfortable trading Story (and others) while they can.
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.
The Rangers are clear sellers, though their level of aggressiveness remains unclear. While it would be wise to trade any player above the age of 30 with an expiring contract, Texas does have to field a team and also doesn’t want to allow itself to get fleeced. Thus, make no mistake: the Rangers are more than comfortable with sitting pat if they so desire.
At the conclusion of the 2021 season, the Cleveland Indians will be no more. The team announced in a video narrated by Tom Hanks released on Twitter today that they will be known as the Cleveland Guardians.
The Philadelphia Phillies may be under .500, but they rank second in their division and are just four games back from the first-place New York Mets.
As the Chicago White Sox start to run away with the American League Central Division, the Kansas City Royals are falling to the bottom. Once again, the trade deadline will be a disappearing act for many in the Royals’ clubhouse, as new prospects join the organization and veterans look to make a playoff push elsewhere.
With just over one week until the trade deadline, a major domino has already fallen. On Tuesday evening, The Tampa Bay Rays acquired designated hitter Nelson Cruz and minor league pitcher Calvin Faucher from the Minnesota Twins.
The New York Mets have had one of the most interesting seasons of any team in baseball. Coming in with big expectations from big offseason acquisition Francisco Lindor, the Mets were met by some disappointing results. With this the case, the Mets have their work cut out for them this trade deadline.
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.
On Tuesday night, Portland fans got to witness a vintage Chris Sale performance. The Boston Red Sox ace took the mound in front of a sold-out crowd and was unhittable. In 3.2 innings of work, Sale struck out six batters and only walked one. Of the 49 pitches he threw, 34 of them were strikes.
While the fate of their 2021 season is decided, the Pirates still have work to do before they think about free agency and the 2022 campaign. In fact, the July 30 trade deadline could dictate how Pittsburgh fares several years down the road.
We all know Jerry Dipoto loves to make moves. While this year may not be theirs, they have the talent to be playoff contenders. So, what do they do?
