After shaking up the clubhouse and creating some questionable headlines, Jerry Dipoto of Seattle is back wheeling and dealing. He has acquired Anderson to help lengthen out the depth for the Mariners after trading away team leader and closer Kendall Graveman.
While the reporters were observing pregame warmups, there was an odd site in Seattle prior to the game between the Houston Astros and the Seattle Mariners. Astros’ infielder Abraham Toro was having a catch in a Mariners uniform with Mariners catcher Luis Torrens. That prompted the reporters to start digging.
The Pirates have been baseball’s busiest team, with the trade deadline less than a week away. On Monday, they made their second trade in as many days. The Pirates sent Clay Holmes to the Yankees in exchange for Hoy Jun Park and Diego Castillo.
As the evening stars set in, the Chicago Cubs appear to have begun the fire sale of their underperforming ballclub. The start of which being a big piece of their bullpen in Andrew Chafin.
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 Astros will certainly look to make some upgrades ahead of the trade deadline in order to solidify their rank atop the AL West pecking order.
The Milwaukee Brewers are running away with the National league Central. Entering Monday, they are 6.5 games up on the Cincinnati Reds. The one hole Milwaukee has in the lineup this season is at first base.
The Cincinnati Reds have fallen a little flat out of the All-Star Break, losing six of nine games. But they are coming off a series win over the St. Louis Cardinals and are still in both the National League Central and Wild Card races. That puts them in an interesting position at the trade deadline.
Pirates All-Star and MLB hit leader Adam Frazier has been traded to the San Diego Padres per multiple industry sources.
Thanks to the all-star break, this week also has a broader Shenanigans window. Last Friday and Saturday are also included in the mix. So, we get a nice range of potential bloopers. And boy, did we get a blooper this week.
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?
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.
