The St. Louis Cardinals have gotten off to a solid start in 2022, as they are currently 32-23, good for second place in the National League Central behind the Milwaukee Brewers. The Cardinals have been powered by one of baseball’s best lineups, as their 269 runs scored to date rank fourth in the majors. However, […]

The Boston Red Sox have underachieved thus far in the 2022 season, as they are currently 23-27, good for fourth place in the American League East. While Boston just so happens to play in one of the more competitive divisions in the MLB, it shouldn’t distract from just how disappointing of a start it’s been […]

The 2022 MLB season hasn’t started out quite the way that the Boston Red Sox hoped, as they currently sit at 11-20, good for last place in the American League East. While baseball is a long season, it’s a shocking turn of events that a team that won the World Series just four years ago […]

During the wild week which was the MLB trade deadline, the New York Mets made some big moves to improve their roster during their second-half stretch. With hopes to make it to the playoffs, these moves may define the team for years to come. With that being said, here are some trade grades for the […]

With Joey Gallo being traded by the Texas Rangers to the New York Yankees already, it seemed a likely conclusion that the moves weren’t done being made. And that’s exactly the case for the Rangers as they’ve agreed to trade Kyle Gibson to the Phillies. In addition to Gibson, the Phillies are also acquiring closer […]

The Chicago Cubs are going all out in their attempts to sell as much as possible at the MLB Trade Deadline. Now, add superstar shortstop Javy Baez to the list as he’s on his way to the New York Mets. BREAKING: The New York Mets are finalizing a trade to acquire shortstop Javier Baez from […]

There were a lot of questions facing the Atlanta Braves and what they would do at the MLB Trade Deadline after their superstar Ronald Acuna Jr. suffered a torn ACL. Atlanta has answered that question on Friday, choosing to buy, not sell. The moves aren’t major splashes and they won’t send shockwaves throughout the rest […]

The New York Yankees are going all-in on offense at the trade deadline, having dealt for both outfielder Joey Gallo from the Texas Rangers and first baseman Anthony Rizzo from the Chicago Cubs. These are two massive moves that turn a middling Yankees lineup into a true monster. New York wanted more left-handed bats in […]

One of the first real big pieces on the trade market is set to have a new home. The Oakland Athletics have acquired Starling Marte from the Miami Marlins. Marte was one of the best bats available and now he heads all the way to the west coast from the east coast. Marte had made […]

As you might expect, a whole lot of teams are interested in acquiring Washington Nationals pitcher Max Scherzer before the MLB trade deadline, which is rapidly approaching. Even with a recent triceps issue and the competitive balance tax implications for some teams, that hasn’t stopped numerous organizations from foaming at the mouth at the possibility […]

The Seattle Mariners have been one of the pleasant surprises in MLB this season. Expected to not do much this year in terms of competing for a postseason spot, the Mariners find themselves at 55-47 and right in the wildcard mix with the MLB Trade Deadline approaching. It seemed obvious that if the Mariners were […]

The Washington Nationals seem to have flirted with the idea of buying at the MLB Trade Deadline a couple weeks ago to now certainly selling as they continue to sink in the NL East standings. The one big name that everyone is clamoring for, Max Scherzer. It was unknown if the Nationals would deal Scherzer […]

Kris Bryant’s name continues to be one of the most discussed with the MLB Trade Deadline quickly approaching. Multiple teams have been linked to the Cubs all-star and now, the San Francisco Giants can be added to the mix. Chicago is set to to sell off at least a couple of their key pieces after […]

With all the MLB Trade Deadline rumors swirling about, one that has caught many off-guard circulates around Trevor Story and the Colorado Rockies. The Rockies sent their rebuilding plan into motion when they traded Nolan Arenado to the Cardinals before the year started. Now, with Story set to be a free agent at the end […]

With the MLB Trade Deadline talks heating up, one contender that is usually relatively quiet around this time that’s appears to be super active is the Tampa Bay Rays. The blueprint has been the same for the Rays for quite sometime and their way of doing success revolves around a very small payroll. This year […]

The MLB trade deadline is here and has been wild already with rumors left and right. The Chicago Cubs are destined to deal a few players, at the very least, with Kris Bryant and Craig Kimbrel as the obvious choices. Another option is Kyle Hendricks, although there are reports that the Cubs would rather not […]

When the San Diego Padres went out and acquired Pirates all-star Adam Frazier, it was expected to be one of a couple moves that they would execute to add at the MLB Trade Deadline. The Padres sit in third-place in the crowded NL West but would be in the wildcard game if the playoffs started […]

As the MLB Trade Deadline approaches, many teams are still deciding whether to buy or sell. Despite being nine games back of the Red Sox and sitting in third place in the AL East, selling really isn’t an option for the New York Yankees. The Bronx Bombers had World Series aspirations at the beginning of […]

While there had been a couple of other moves made already with the MLB Trade Deadline looming, the San Diego Padres made perhaps the biggest splash yet, landing Pittsburgh Pirates all-star Adam Frazier. Frazier’s name popped up on the radar early for many teams with the Pirates sitting in the cellar of the NL Central […]

The Trevor Story era with the Colorado Rockies is coming to an end one way or another after this season, and plenty of teams are interested in his services before this month’s MLB trade deadline. But what’s the best fit? Story is currently having one of his worst years at the plate, hitting .243/.316/.423 with […]

The NL East appears to be wide open at the start of the second half for everyone except perhaps the Miami Marlins. While Don Mattingly’s squad is just 9.5 games back of the Mets in the division, they would have to leapfrog every team to get to the top. Helping lead the charge for the […]

The Colorado Rockies made their path very clear for the 2021 season when they traded Nolan Arenado in the offseason. That sent into motion a plan for the franchise to reboot, to an extent of which that was unknown. Fast forward to now, and the Rockies are near the cellar of the NL West and […]

The San Diego Padres continue to glide along this season playing tremendous baseball. The lone thing going against them is that the NL West has turned out to be a loaded division with the Giants leading the way and the Dodgers in second. The Padres are still only 5 games back in the division and […]

With the MLB Trade Deadline rapidly approaching, the Minnesota Twins are clear sellers after sinking to 39-53 and being swept by the Detroit Tigers out of the all-star break. It’s not the season the Twins had expected after winning back-t0-back AL Central crowns. Now, instead of competing for a pennant, they’ll look to navigate the […]

What looked like it could be a year in which the Cubs would buy when they sat at 42-33 quickly turned into a mess with Chicago losing 13 of 15 going into the All-Star break. Meanwhile, the New York Mets are atop the NL East with a record of 47-40 and are poised to make […]

The MLB trade deadline has officially kicked off just a couple of days after the All-Star Game. The Chicago Cubs made the first deal of the trade season by sending outfielder Joc Pederson to the Atlanta Braves in a rather shocking move. In fact, the deal was just an hour after Jon Heyman reported that […]

The MLB trade deadline is approaching and there will be plenty and plenty of activity. Teams will be selling and buying left and right. According to Jon Heyman of MLB Network, some teams have emerged as sellers, and some are a bit of a surprise. As I just said on @MLBNetwork of the teams in […]

With the MLB Trade Deadline looming, many teams across MLB are about to find out if they will buy, sell, or stay as is on July 31. Many names have been rumored to potentially become available and perhaps none bigger than Max Scherzer. Scherzer is 37-years-old and in the last year of his contract. The […]

The enjoyment of the MLB All-Star Game and its festivities quickly gets wiped away once the realization hits that the MLB Trade Deadline is looming. This year is no different from that aspect. On Tuesday night, fans got to see Kris Bryant represent the National League in his all-star Cubs uniform. Joey Gallo wore the […]

With the first half of the MLB season in the books, things on the trade front will really start to heat up over the next couple of weeks. Many of the teams expected to be buyers lived up to the hype in the first half like the Dodgers, Astros, Padres and White Sox. Others like […]

It’s been a year to forget for the Minnesota Twins. While they’ve had to deal with more injuries than the average MLB team, even when at almost full strength, it hasn’t been pretty for the back-to-back AL Central champions. Now, with a roster littered with both young talent and solid veterans, Minnesota needs to take […]

It has been a miserable first few months of the season for the New York Yankees. The Bronx Bombers were thought to have had one of the best rosters in all of baseball and what has come to the light instead is a mediocre lineup leading to one disappointment after another. Currently, the Yankees have […]

Nearing the end of June the Cubs had just come off of a 4-0 win in Los Angeles over the Dodgers in a game where Chicago combined to no-hit one of the most potent lineups in all of baseball. The Cubs looked poised to be buyers at the MLB Trade Deadline and a move to […]

Colorado Rockies star shortstop Trevor Story might be among the most notable MLB trade deadline targets, but his market is becoming hard to predict. The 2021 MLB trade deadline is just one month away, and Story is a prime candidate to be traded. Colorado is not in any position to contend, while Story has said […]

With the MLB Trade Deadline rapidly approaching, the next few weeks will provide plenty of clarity for teams that are right on the fence of buying, selling or just staying put.

The MLB trade deadline is right around the corner and now teams are trying to decide whether to buy, sell, or standpat. One team on everybody’s mind is the Washington Nationals. The Nationals have underwhelmed– and that is probably an understatement. They are flirting with the .500 mark and have been lauded by many as […]
