The Los Angeles Angels will have a difficult decision to make when it comes to trading Shohei Ohtani. They are expected to make a final decision close to the August 1st MLB trade deadline.

To paraphrase philosopher Ralph Waldo Emerson, it’s about the journey not the destination. If that is the case in the 2023 MLB season, then we are in for the most thrilling trade deadline of all-time. The hype and non-stop speculation surrounding Los Angeles Angels’ Shohei Ohtani is bound to have everyone amped up by the […]

When considering the transcendent impact Shohei Ohtani can have for a franchise and city, it is reasonable to suggest that any team with a winning record makes the Los Angeles Angels a trade offer. The incentive for such a mega move presumably rises for a big market club like the Boston Red Sox. Even on […]

Amid speculation that Shohei Ohtani is in his final season with the Los Angeles Angels, no team has been more heavily linked to the two-way star than the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Dodgers are viewed as a top contender to sign Shohei Ohtani to a record contract in free agency. With the 2023 MLB trade […]

The San Diego Padres may be the toughest team to pin down before the MLB trade deadline on August 1st. Normally a team this far back in the standings would be a seller, but that might not be the case. The steady drum beat out of San Diego is that the Padres still have what […]

Shohei Ohtani, Shohei Ohtani, and more Shohei Ohtani. That pretty much sums up the majority of MLB trade rumors ahead of the 2023 deadline, with a few Marcus Stroman and Lucas Giolitio rumors thrown in. The Los Angeles Dodgers have been mentioned as a possible suitor for Ohtani, but the Los Angeles Angels reportedly won’t […]

Tommy John surgery is far too common in today’s MLB. With pitchers throwing harder than ever, injuries are unfortunately running rampant throughout the big leagues.

The Seattle Mariners were one of the surprise teams last year as they made their way back to the playoffs for the first time since 2001. The Mariners hoped that was only the beginning, and that they could start planning on playing in October a repeated occurrence. However, the Mariners are currently just above a […]

The Chicago White Sox are no doubt one of the obvious sellers for the 2023 MLB trade deadline. Due to a disappointing first half that has left the White Sox eight games back of first place in the AL Central, Chicago will more than likely ship off some of their players before the Aug. 1 […]

The weeks leading up to the MLB trade deadline are some of the most exciting times of the baseball season. Contenders are trying to gain any sort of edge against each other, and star players are shockingly moved to teams clamoring to make themselves better. One of those teams this year is the Philadelphia Phillies […]

The Minnesota Twins sit just a game above .500 at 48-47 this season, but due to how weak the AL Central is, they remain in first place. However, it’s clear this ball club needs reinforcements at the upcoming MLB trade deadline, specifically when it comes to offense. The Twins’ pitching staff owns an impressive 3.76 […]

For most teams, a 52-42 start to the season would be satisfactory. Not the Houston Astros. Coming off their fourth World Series appearance and second World Series title in six years, the Astros expected to once again be among the cream of the crop in the American League. Instead, the Astros are barely holding down […]

The Cleveland Guardians have struggled to open the second half of the 2023 season, most recently getting swept by the Texas Rangers.

Behind the legs and bat of top prospect Elly De La Cruz, the Cincinnati Reds have taken Major League Baseball by storm over the last month. The Reds won twelve straight games in June, then won nine of 11 contests leading up to the MLB All-Star break. This scintillating month took Cincy from five games […]

Despite starting the second-half of the 2023 MLB season on a positive note, nothing has really changed for the St. Louis Cardinals. They still remain 11.5 games back in the National League Central with a slew of injuries and deficiencies. This perennial scrapper just does not have enough time, resources or good fortune to claw […]

The Atlanta Braves are the best team in baseball. They seemingly do everything well and don’t necessarily need to make any splashy moves prior to the 2023 MLB trade deadline. However, they still could look to make some sneaky additions prior to the deadline. After all, every bit of depth helps in the postseason. The […]

Someone has to win the NL Central, and over the last few weeks, the Milwaukee Brewers have re-established themselves as the favorites atop the division.

In a 2023 MLB season filled with historic pursuits, Shohei Ohtani trade and free agency speculation and massive flops, the Miami Marlins’ 53-42 record is unlikely to command the national recognition it deserves. They are not competing for a divisional crown like the Baltimore Orioles and have not electrified a crowd quite like the Cincinnati […]

The San Francisco Giants entered the 2023 MLB season with meek expectations. Winning over 85 games games would’ve been considered a successful campaign, and they will likely exceed that number if they continue their current pace. With over 60 games remaining, the Giants have eclipsed the 50-win plateau already, but they are still only third-place […]

Nobody expected the Texas Rangers to have baseball’s fifth-best record entering the second half of the 2023 MLB season. But here they are at 54-39, 3 games ahead of the Houston Astros for first place in the AL West. The Rangers’ eagerness to spend in recent years has paid off, but now it’s time for […]

The Chicago Cubs are expected to be sellers ahead of the 2023 MLB trade deadline. It isn’t official yet, but Chicago’s odds of making a playoff run are slim. As a result, players such as SP Marcus Stroman and OF Cody Bellinger are being mentioned in trade rumors. Stroman addressed the trade rumors surrounding himself […]

Before the season began, there were plenty of people who believed the Baltimore Orioles would build off their 2022 success (83-79) and take the next step in 2023. Though, the thing that held skeptics back from buying the O’s as a legitimate contender was their willingness to spend money on pitching. They did not exactly […]

If there was ever a time for the Tampa Bay Rays to be aggressive buyers, it’s ahead of the 2023 MLB trade deadline. The Rays arguably have their best chance to win a World Series in the 25-year history of the franchise. One or two key additions at the MLB trade deadline could put Tampa […]

The Los Angeles Dodgers are expected to be active ahead of the MLB trade deadline. The only question is whether or not they will acquire any superstars.

The Cleveland Guardians have some big decisions to make ahead of the 2023 MLB trade deadline.

The St. Louis Cardinals are expected to sell ahead of the MLB trade deadline. It’s unclear just how much they will lean into a rebuild, but Paul Goldschmidt and Nolan Arenado are being mentioned in rumors.

The Oakland Athletics should be open for business ahead of the 2023 MLB trade deadline. With the worst record in baseball, the A’s are expected to make many of their veterans available. Seth Brown is among the A’s most logical trade candidates, given his past production and Oakland’s recent roster moves. The A’s have called […]

The New York Yankees are in the middle of another tough season. Every season New York has been a staple as one of the organizations with the highest payroll, but they continuously fail to reach the World Series ever since 2009. With Aaron Judge still missing in the lineup, their offense has not been as […]

The 2023 MLB Trade Deadline is quickly approaching, with some teams looking to be buyers, while others will be sellers. The Toronto Blue Jays are one who should be looking to bolster their roster, specifically when it comes to their pitching staff. The Jays currently sit in an American League Wild Card spot at the […]

The New York Mets must perform well prior to the MLB trade deadline to avoid being forced into selling. New York currently sits in fourth place in the National League East, holding a 42-48 record. They are 18.5 games behind the Atlanta Braves, so it would take a miracle for them to win the division. […]

The St. Louis Cardinals are reportedly interested in Logan Gilbert of the Seattle Mariners, via Derrick Goold of stltoday.com.
