Overview

  • Eugenio Suárez extended his power surge with his fifth home run in three games, reinforcing a 90% ESPN projection that Arizona will trade its impending free agent slugger.
  • The Yankees have eyed second-tier starters such as White Sox veteran Adrian Houser to shore up a rotation hit by Cole’s and Schmidt’s surgeries, offering prospects like Spencer Jones in return.
  • Mets president David Stearns confirmed New York will pursue bullpen reinforcements and may trade surplus infield prospects to strengthen late-inning relief.
  • Buster Olney reports the Blue Jays, who lead the AL East, could target high-impact bats like Suárez or Josh Naylor to elevate their middle-of-order production.
  • The Red Sox are set to add pitching depth while preserving their outfield surplus, and the Giants are seeking rotation reinforcements after trading for Rafael Devers.
