On the podcast, open.spotify.com/episode/7JtG4b… @Kurkjian_ESPN and I discussed the idea of finishing regular season games with a Swing-Off, All-Star Game style:
With so many contenders looking for a third baseman, Steve Phillips had an idea on the podcast. open.spotify.com/episode/7JtG4b…
Padres have talked to the Orioles about Charlie Morton. So maybe the plan is to add a starter like Morton if Cease is dealt for other assets.
On the podcast, Jake Peavy talked about the dominance of Tarik Skubal. open.spotify.com/episode/7JtG4b…
A surprise name has emerged in the starting pitcher market: Dylan Cease, who will be eligible for free agency at year's end. Perception of other teams is that the Padres are intent on making a push for the playoffs, and would use Cease to help fill other roster needs. Mets, AL…
On the podcast, we talked about the Blue Jays offense. open.spotify.com/episode/7JtG4b…
On the podcast, open.spotify.com/episode/7JtG4b… Steve Phillips breaks down the trade market; @kurkjian discusses the Brewers; @JakePeavy_22 talks about the contenders most in need of rotation help, and bullpen help.
From the contenders to the rebuilders, here's what every front office is thinking ahead of the July 31 deadline. espn.com/mlb/story/_/id…
Sean Murphy's name has been tossed around in trade speculation, but according to sources, he is not available. He's playing well this year and he'll be playing under a high value contract for the next three seasons -- $15 million a year 2026-2028, plus a team option in '29. And…
It seems very likely that Charlie Morton (3.47 ERA last 12 appearances) will be traded, within a relatively thin starting pitching market and a lot of teams looking for help -- the Padres, Yankees, maybe the Mets or Astros; a number of teams have expressed interest. In the past,…

Bochy said they’re talking through the situation and Eovaldi will either start tomorrow or Friday against the Braves
Nathan Eovaldi said he’s feeling good and should be able to pitch with no limitations tomorrow in the series finale against the A’s
The player asked about the most on the Guardians' roster is Steven Kwan, but given that he's 2 1/2 years away from free agency, it's unlikely he'll be traded, according to sources. His slash line this year: .288/.352/.398, with 11 SB.
Wednesday, ESPN continues its coverage of the '25 #MLB season as the @RedSox visit the @Phillies ⚾️ 7p ET | ESPN 🎙️@karlravechespn, @dcone36, @PerezEd, @Buster_ESPN
The Yankees are four games behind the Jays in the AL East, and lead the Wildcard race by 2 games. Something worth remembering down the stretch: Per Fangraphs, they have the easiest remaining schedule for any AL team. This is how they'll wrap the season, starting Sept. 15: 3 games…
A reminder: Marcell Ozuna is in the last year of his deal with the Braves and he is constantly mentioned as a possible trade target -- but what is not mentioned is that he has 10-5 rights and can veto any deal. He controls this process.
