Overview

  • The Phillies traded two top prospects to land 27-year-old Jhoan Durán, who brings a 2.01 ERA, 16 saves and club control through 2027 to their late-inning mix
  • Seattle sent prospects to Arizona for slugger Eugenio Suárez, adding a right-handed bat with 36 homers and 87 RBIs this season
  • Kansas City removed Seth Lugo from trade discussions by signing him to a two-year, $46 million extension that includes a 2028 club option
  • The New York Mets added identical relievers Tyler and Taylor Rogers, the Cubs bolstered their rotation with Michael Soroka and the Mariners furthered their relief depth by acquiring Caleb Ferguson
  • With most high-leverage arms now dealt, contenders such as the Astros are reportedly targeting Padres starter Dylan Cease in the final hours before the deadline
