MLB Trade Deadline Looms - What It Could Mean for Your Team

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


It’s that time of year in the MLB where teams and players are watching the news carefully as all kinds of deals and rumors are being thrown into the mix – in other words it’s approaching the trade deadline. Teams have less than a week to make their move, and with that said there is plenty of focus on not just the top teams and players, but even those who aren’t placed so high in the standings as they look to better their odds for the 2019 season.

Here’s a look at some of the top deals and rumors that are being discussed, but keep in mind the deadline is July 31 at 4pm EST.

The Red Sox Finalize a Big Deal

Clearly the Red Sox aren’t messing around and have managed to acquire pitcher Nathan Eovaldi, which is in part showing their cards and how they are shaping their team for the remainder of the 2018 season. The team believes that Eovaldi will provide them with “additional rotation depth”, but they are still possibly on the lookout for a catcher and second baseman.

New York Yankees Outbid the Competition

It seems as though the Yankees managed to outbid the competition and land reliever Zach Britton who is coming from the Baltimore Orioles. The Cubs and Astros were both interested in acquiring Britton, so the Yankees had their work cut out for them.

With this big deal they will be sending Cody Carroll (the right-handed reliever), Josh Rogers (left-handed starter), and Dillion Tate (right-handed starter) all to the Orioles in exchange for Britton. This one is considered a fairly sizable trade that will provide the Yankees with some much-needed pitching relief.

Blue Jays Are on the Hunt for Veterans

While some teams are looking for fresh new players, it seems the Toronto Blue Jays are on the lookout for veterans to acquire. They are currently looking to unload J.A. Happ, a left-hand starter, and to show they are serious, they have now dropped his price.Happ’s current statistics show he is an above-average starter, so the Jays are hoping that at least a couple of teams will show interest.

Texas Rangers in the Mix

Another player that is being talked about and is involved in many trade rumors is Cole Hamels, a left-handed pitcher with the Texas Rangers. While Hamel has been struggling as of late, he is still a strong pitcher that draws interest.
