Deadline day is here! The deadline is 5 p.m. central time, which means that there are now less than 11 hours to go. Here is a small selection of the many, many storylines that we follow today …
1. Miller Time?
Less than two weeks ago, athletics were reportedly turned off Mason Miller Freewers. Yesterday there was a big narrative shift. The Yankees, Mets, Phillies and Padres were all connected to Miller in rumors. Then the As did not use a miller in a Save situation last night. Manager Mark Kotsay Said after the game that Miller was not available, but not because of an injury, it seemed that the A stopped him with the possibility that a trade was in the making. Will the As and another club today swing a blockbuster deal for Miller?
2. Sandy in the hourglass:
The Marlins starter has been expected for a long time Sandy Alcantara For tomorrow. However, his performance has made it more doubtful. He has an average of 6.36 earned run this year. His 45.6% ground ball percentage is still good, but not as strong as before. His strike output of 16.8% is far below his previous pace. Despite the struggles, various clubs are still interested, including the Astros, Red Sox, Mets and Padres. He signed next year with a club option for 2027, so that the Marlins can hold him if they don’t get a offer they like. Will they persuade the tractor?
3. Padres has everything on the table:
The Padres have a number of clear needs, but some remarkable limitations. The budget is tight and their prospectpool pole shallow. As such there have been many rumors that suggest that they can move players out of their main class selection, even though they want to strengthen the club for the Stretch Run. Maybe they can move players like Dylan stops or Robert Suarez while at the same time boys like Miller, Alcantara or try to get in Years Duran. They have not yet exchanged in this deadline season, but perhaps they can do different movements and considerably rearranging the sun loungers by the end of the day.
4. Pirate stand:
The pirates are clear sellers and more than a month ago it was reported that they have very few inviolable players, with Andrew McCutchen And Paul Scenes Allegedly the only boys who are forbidden. They have already traded Ke’bryan Hayes On the Reds, Caleb Ferguson On the Mariners and Adam Frazier To the royals. There have been plenty Mitch Keller Rumors, but the most recent report suggests that he could stay. Can another club let him go in the coming hours? Even if Keller stays, the pirates could move Bryan Reynolds” Tommy Pham” HIGAL CRUZ” Isiah Kiner atmosphere” Joey Bart” Bailey Wankel” David Bednar” Dennis Santana and/or Taylor Rogers.
5. Guardians open to business?
The Guardians are only 2.5 games from a play -off place, but are lost closer Emmanuel -Classe into a gambling examination. Perhaps the outlook is terrible enough that they will sell. Allegedly they are shopping outfielder Steven Kwan and starter Shane BieberA few very interesting additions to the market. Will they both be sent from Cleveland today?
6. Snakes alive, in the seller Lane:
The Diamondbacks have been one of the most aggressive sellers this year. They have already turned around Josh Naylor And Eugenio Suárezboth to the Mariners, next to shipping Randal Grichuk To the royals. They still have several other approaching free agents who should be available today. Zac Gallen And Merrill Kelly are the headliners, but the snakes also have Shelby Miller” Jalen Beeks And Kendall Graveman. Beeks and Miller are currently on the injured list, but can still be traded. Arizona could also consider moving verifiable boys like Lourdes Gurriel Jr.” Alek Thomas or Jake McCarthy.
7. Orioles fly with the chicken run:
The Orioles are another club that is active in the seller. They have already traded Bryan Baker to the rays, Gregory Soto To the Mets, Seranthony Domínguez On the Blue Gaays, Ramón Urias to the astros and Andrew Kittredge To the Cubs. They have even more work to do today. Ryan O’Hearn” Cedric Mullins” Charlie Morton” Zach Eflin And Tomoyuki Sugano Are all approaching free agents who have to be moving today. Ramón LaureanoThe deal has a club option from 2026, but it is probably also available.
8. The Robert Staredown:
There has been a suggestion that the white SOx could hold Luis Robert Jr. Beyond the deadline if they don’t get a offer that they like. He is in the final guaranteed year of his contract, but there are two club options for 2026 and 2027, each with a value of $ 20 mm with a buy -out of $ 2 mm. Theoretically they were able to activate the first of those options and then Robert try to exchange in the low season or at the deadline of next year. However, that is a risky attitude to assume. Robert has been injured and/or underperformed for a large part of the past two years. There is a considerable chance that he will be injured or struggles again with the piece, making it difficult to justify $ 18 mm for a few months. He actually performs well in recent weeks, so the SOX should now demonstrably cash it in while he has a little momentum.
9. Split Twins:
The twins leaned hard in sales mode. They would clearly move upcoming free agents, but made a big splash yesterday Jhoan Duránwhich can be controllable until 2027, for the Phillies in exchange for prospects Eduardo Tait And Mick Abel. They will move another verifiable man as Griffin Jax or Joe Ryan? Even if that is not the case, they should shop that I shop leading free agents Willi Castro” Danny Coulombe” Harrison Bader” Ty France And Christian Vázquez. They have already been traded Chris Paddack To the Tigers.
