Padres Likely Landing Spot For Juan Soto, Josh Bell

There is a growing sense that the San Diego Padres are the most likely landing spot for Washington Nationals outfielder Juan Soto and perhaps first baseman Josh Bell, too, as Tuesday's trade deadline approaches. Multiple people have heard there is momentum in the Padres' talks for Soto and Bell. The Athletic's Jim Bowden reports a […]

Joey Gallo Expected To Be Traded

The New York Yankees are getting interest in outfielder Joey Gallo, according to sources, and it would be something of a surprise if he wasn't traded by Tuesday's 6:00 pm ET deadline. Gallo has really struggled in his second year in the Bronx, so interested teams may be able to land him for pennies on […]

Jase Bowen Showing Progress In Minors

Pittsburgh Pirates outfield prospect Jase Bowen, like many other minor leaguers, suffered from the COVID-19 pandemic because it limited his opportunities to see crucial game action and progress his development in 2020. As a result, he's still in Single-A, though he's certainly knocking on the door of a promotion. The 21-year-old's biggest weakness is his […]

Kyle Garlick Exits Monday With Rib Inflammation

Minnesota Twins outfielder Kyle Garlick (rib) left Monday's 5-3 win over the Tigers early with rib inflammation, per Twins writer Betsy Helfand.

Byron Buxton Could Return To Lineup Tuesday

Minnesota Twins manager Rocco Baldelli said that outfielder Byron Buxton (undisclosed) was not available in Monday's 5-3 win over the Tigers because of how he felt, per Twins writer Betsy Helfand. There were no more specifics, but this sounds like simple soreness, as Baldelli said he is hopeful Buxton can return to the lineup Tuesday. […]

Dodgers Looking At Ian Happ

MLB Network's Jon Heyman reported Monday that the Los Angeles Dodgers have looked into Chicago Cubs outfielder Ian Happ as a potential trade target.

Robbie Grossman Heading To Atlanta

The Atlanta Braves acquired veteran outfielder Robbie Grossman from the Detroit Tigers Monday, per MLB Network Insider's Joel Sherman. The Tigers' corresponding acquisitions are not known at this time. Grossman will provide a veteran presence to the team.

Red Sox Acquire Tommy Pham From Reds

The Boston Red Sox acquired outfielder Tommy Pham from the Cincinnati Reds on Monday. It's unknown what the Reds are receiving in return.

Kris Bryant To Play On Monday

Colorado Rockies outfielder Kris Bryant (foot) is back in the lineup for Monday's game against the San Diego Padres.

Siri was great for the Astros in 21 games […]

Trey Mancini Acquired By Astros

The Houston Astros acquired first baseman/outfielder Trey Mancini from the Baltimore Orioles on Monday, according to sources. It's unknown who the Orioles will get in exchange, but they are expected to receive multiple players. With Mancini now in town, the struggling Yuli Gurriel will now find himself on the bench more often. Houston's top first […]

Jesse Winker Homers Sunday

Seattle Mariners outfielder Jesse Winker provided all of the team's offense Sunday, hitting a game-tying two-run home run in the eighth inning off Houston Astros relief pitcher Ryne Stanek, though the Astros eventually prevailed 3-2.

Dodgers Being More Aggressive On Juan Soto

While the San Diego Padres and St. Louis Cardinals have been considered the front-runners to trade for Washington Nationals outfielder Juan Soto, the Los Angeles Dodgers have been much more aggressive of late in their trade proposals for the 23-year-old superstar.
