ATLANTA, GA - JULY 21: Sean Murphy #12 of the Atlanta Braves bats in the seventh inning against the San Francisco Giants at Truist Park on July 21, 2025 in Atlanta, Georgia.

Overview

  • Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said the team is all-in on landing a third baseman, especially given bullpen shortages plus rotation gaps
  • Mets are reportedly targeting Twins reliever Danny Coulombe after bullpen injuries left them with just one left-handed option
  • Dodgers manager Dave Roberts demanded urgency after another bullpen implosion as GM Brandon Gomes pursues high-leverage relievers like Ryan Helsley
  • Braves are under pressure to move veteran Marcell Ozuna, though his 10-and-5 veto rights give him blocking power in any trade discussion
  • Padres face luxury-tax penalties that could drive them to flip pending free agents Dylan Cease or Luis Arráez to shore up outfield, catcher or rotation needs
