Overview

  • The Seattle Mariners acquired first baseman Josh Naylor from the Arizona Diamondbacks on July 24 in exchange for pitching prospects Brandyn Garcia and Ashton Izzi, establishing an early valuation benchmark.
  • The New York Yankees addressed their third-base deficiency on July 25 by trading prospects Griffin Herring and Josh Grosz to the Colorado Rockies for All-Star Ryan McMahon.
  • Boston Red Sox chief baseball officer Craig Breslow confirmed the team remains in buy mode and is targeting starting pitching, at least one high-leverage reliever and an offensive-minded backup catcher.
  • The Arizona Diamondbacks have intensified their selloff, with reports of inquiries on third baseman Eugenio Suárez from over a dozen clubs and analysts predicting right-hander Merrill Kelly could be the next veteran moved.
  • Early deadline transactions have compressed the market timeline and pushed contenders to pay steep prospect prices for one-year rentals as they fortify playoff pushes.
