OH NO UNC
Can’t wait to see the Arenas podcast address this 
podcast in prison
i have no clue how good the celtics with just white brown tatum and pritchard is going to be
i don't see them beating a healthy cleveland, new york, orlando, detroit, atlanta, indiana
next season they will pretty likely suck without tatum
indiana without turner is interesting cuz they desperately need a centre now
tatum aint there
This is sick
The New York Mets have acquired right-handed reliever Tyler Rogers from the San Francisco Giants, a source confirms to ESPN.
Earlier today, Rogers' twin brother, Taylor, was traded to Pittsburgh. @Ken_Rosenthal was first on the Rogers brothers news.
@robust grotto @honest latch
@dim ledge @proud coyote
The Mets certainly paid the price for Rogers by sending RHP Blake Tidwell, OF Drew Gilbert and reliever Jose Butto. Tidwell was the Mets' 10th-ranked prospect and Gilbert was 12th. @ByRobertMurray on the return.
@robust grotto @honest latch https://x.com/wexlerrules/status/1950650910398431611?s=46
Damn
Not a bad return
Rogers was playing well this year though
Drew Gilbert stats throughout the years
2025 was Single A and Triple A
Tidwell has good stuff, 4.13 ERA in AAA is not bad at all
He might come up for us this year
Gilbert I’m less interested in
And Butto has looked pretty good
On and off at least
But Rogers has also been on-and-off
Just on this year so far
So like… it’s just good for us. Going from an 8/10 reliever to a 6/10 one and getting a decent pitching prospect
as well as a lotto ticket hitter who MAAAAYBE could pan out and had potential
You don’t like it?
Butto you’ll like. Tidwell got fucking rocked every time he played for us but… he just needs reps and time man. We couldn’t afford to give him reps considering the race we are in
Yeah I know. I'm talking about the season after next
I hope your profile name is joking lol
yeah it is
Lolol
Trading top 15 prospects for a rental reliever is not ideal!
Two top 15 lol
OK, all seriousness it is top 10 and top 12 Mets prospects not overall
So It’s not that bad if you think about it
It is a rental reliever fam 😭
2025 Season 1.80 ERA submarine picture you don’t get that often

The Seattle Mariners have acquired left-handed reliever Caleb Ferguson from the Pittsburgh Pirates, sources tell ESPN.
@rustic ore
He has a real QB now
Hes only 24
It's a contract year he wants to get paid
22nd Seattle Mariners Prospect Baseball America
13th according to pipeline
One of the bigger disparities I’ve seen for a prospect
@desert palm I’m not happy that Rodgers is a rental but I can live with what they traded

Ohh my bad, well some trades could happen soon so idk
all good I should have made it more clear
idk if the Celtics have much in terms of assets now
Porzingis is gone too right?
yeah he is
same with holiday
dang the Celtics have a ton of picks
they just don't really have any salary
hopefully they can get someone bfr season begins
idk how they looked in pre season games
they do have simons contract
also u support utd apparently 
😅
dang
The first city supporter here ???
city way better though
I still find it hilarious we don’t have a single Spurs fan
I can be one jk
I mean you’d probably have a decent time!
I think they can be an exciting 6th place team this year
probably better than United
Definitely better than United. I can’t believe what I saw in person on Saturday when I was at the game
saykha too
and go d
Ngl i wouldnt mind them doing well in future time
like id rather them over arsenal
Shaw saying that united's aim is to. win the premier League smh
more. like be a top half of the table team
same
arsenal can rot for eternity
i saw that lol
what was he smoking

@sacred kite BANG
The Philadelphia Phillies are finalizing a deal to acquire closer Jhoan Duran from the Minnesota Twins for two top prospects, sources tell ESPN. The biggest move of the deadline so far is almost complete.
In Jhoan Duran, the Phillies get a dominant closer with some of the best stuff in baseball. Mick Abel is a big league-ready starter with first-round pedigree. And Eduardo Tait is a catcher in Class A with massive power and a big arm. First to say deal was close: @Ken_Rosenthal.
Tait (Phillies No. 4 prospect) and Abel (No. 6) are both in @MLBPipeline’s Top 100, ranking 56 and 92, respectively.
@robust grotto @honest latch BIG BANG
The New York Mets are finalizing a deal to acquire closer Ryan Helsley, sources tell ESPN.
Boooooom
https://x.com/jonheyman/status/1950695951640961443?s=46
7, 14, and unranked
In the Mets system, respectively
According to most Mets fans in their discord, they consider it a fleece job
A.k.a. super happy with the results
lol
seeing this deal and Helsley, seems like they could have gotten more.
Should I be happy? Lol
I’m assuming so you just got two good bullpen pieces
And honestly, Mets didn’t give up a lot
Ayyye. Nice to hear
No such thing as enough depth
Factual…I can testify
West Ham win!
🚨 Matheus Cunha ruled out of #mufc game this evening due to fatigue according to Ruben Amorim. [@sistoney67]
fatigue yk
Tbh if they're playing in the US
It's legit
Wind is nasty there too
Significant heat wave
United game is going to stink
still being completely ruled out is kinda crazy
That much I agree with

Doubled up on a bunt. Amazing
that is a wild game.
• Warren great
• another volpe error
• trent homer
• devin bad
• another volpe bomb
• they play small ball - wells brainfart
• Bellinger saves the season again
• McMahon snag at 3rd
• balk
This game was the craziest game I’ve seen in a while
I think the Rays have to sell. Don't you think?
I don’t know how the Yankees won
El Toro roller coaster over here
The Cincinnati Reds are finalizing a trade to acquire right-hander Zack Littell from the Tampa Bay Rays, sources tell ESPN. Deal is agreed to, pending medical review.
One of the suppose best part of the team (the bullpen) has been the worst part of the team.
Look at that. Right on queue.
Literally threw 5 clean innings
And just got traded
BTW, we just screwed over you guys with Fairbanks stock
He was a potentially in the trade market and after that I don’t see the demand being as high
No, Time. This whole season he's been tanking his stock.
If Erik Neander didn't have the top 5 farm system and a history of great moves, he could easily be fired for a lot of the bullpen issues.
I'm hoping new ownership doesn't throw the front office out 2-3 years from now.
I love how the Jets are considered "Rivals" for even one game. Why should I hate the Jets or feel any emotion for them the last 15+ years? lol
Gotta love playing in the largest market in the country.
@austere lava @slow violet REUNION REUNION
BREAKING: The Seattle Mariners are in agreement on a deal to acquire third baseman Eugenio Suárez from the Arizona Diamondbacks, sources tell ESPN. The trade is pending medical review.
@smoky fable
The Diamondbacks will be getting back two pitching prospects and a first base prospect from the Mariners for Geno Suarez
Wow
Tyler Locklear and two pitching prospects are going back to Arizona in the Eugenio Suárez trade, according to a source.
He went back?
@smoky fable @austere lava @slow violet
Full trade, sources tell MLB•com...
• Mariners receive: 3B Eugenio Suárez
• D-backs receive: 1B Tyler Locklear (Mariners’ No. 9 prospect by @MLBPipeline), RHP Hunter Cranton (No. 16), RHP Juan Burgos (No. 17)
I would say this is a win-win with an edge to the Mariners
Makes no sense in that aspect on the Dbacks side
Wdym
Worded wrong by my part, but implying that you’d expect more for a hot trade commodity. And I know he’s a free agent soon.
Reporting made me think they’d get more
Yeah, that’s what they were saying in fact someone I followed had the exact same question
I think people overestimate how much you can get for only a rental
It’s been more of a buyers market just seeing all the returns so far
Even for a guy like Dhuran with 2.5 years of control
Padres are working on a possible Mason Miller trade. Not done yet, but they are talking.
It could be in six years from now we’re all mistaken, but from the current perspective, you’re not wrong
Yeah speaking on the now
Miller didn’t close in a closing situation tonight. Trade very possible, but nothing finalized.
You got Dominguez at least
It's something but we need another arm and preferably a right hand power bat
Suarez woulda been nice but eh
At the same time I didnt wanna give up a ton for him
If we could get Joe Ryan I would be so happy
Rosenthal says Boston wanted Eugenio to play 1B... still feels to me like they've gotta have something big planned tomorrow
@rustic mountain did you see the upside down eight because of the last-minute element of the trade with the doubleheader
Can’t wait to see my guy Hendon Hooker take some snaps
The Houston Astros are now engaged in trade discussions with the Miami Marlins for ace Sandy Alcantara after talks with the San Diego Padres for starter Dylan Cease have cooled.
Yes and I kinda want that jersey lmao
Sandy hasn't been that good in a long while
Trey Lance vs Hendon Hooker. But football is back
But I guess whatever you can get
Man just needs a shot
A lot of teams could use him
Won't be watching but glad football is back
Waiting for that first pats preseason game
I’m gonna wake up early so I can tune in
You a lions or chargers fan?
No but I miss nfl and wanna see hooker play
A Hendon Hooker fan?? Now that is one that I haven't heard of but good on ya man
Lmao
All hendon hooker fans are Tennessee fans basically
I would have to think so
It's cool, I am a Michael Penix and a Cam Ward fan
U dub and WSU
Hope ward can help turn around titans
But we’ll see titans haven’t been good in like 25 years
Oh I don't really care if the titans win a bunch, same with the falcons. As long as Penix and Ward do well
I am a patriots fan and have my own Dog and Coug to cheer for
(Tho Polk is probably gone, but Kyle Williams is fun)
I really follow players instead of teams in terms of nfl just never really had a team
Ahh we a bit different then. I vastly prefer my team over players
Yeah I predominantly watched CFB for a majority of my life
And tuned in here and there to nfl sometimes

#SAYNOTOMARTINELLI
Madueke might be his replacement
Why does Martinelli decline every year, what the fuck is going on
Yeah nah, Richarlison might be mentally challenged
How do you miss that
he better be
if we can scam someone for 30m for martinelli then do it no questions
probably the best deal we would ever get
or maybe we can get our first bit of saudi money for him
I know! Happy with this trade but wow it’s pricey. Abel is courtly but not as surprising but losing Tait kinda stinks bc who do we replace an aging JT with once he’s gone. Stubbs ain’t it but he does know our pitchers
CRASHOUT
Nelli can easily go for 60+
Someone out there is crazy enough to take the bait
Listen I love him and all but we gotta move on
who do u see being desperate for him? 
Saudi
Chelsea might be that crazy
Or Forest
I was thinking of Chelsea too but its prob just a brazillian Madueke in their team lol
They can take Trossard too
Shit for shit swap
isnt Trossard fine as a super sub
Declining fast
Used to be
But still better than Nelli
Can break certain teams
AND DOESN'T SHOOT STRAIGHT AT THE FUCKING KEEPER
The St. Louis Cardinals, who are wide open for business, have several teams_including the Houston Astros and Philadelphia Phillies_ expressing interest in the likes of Lars Nootbaar, Alec Burleson and Brendan Donovan
all that and somehow did to Courtois
fulham 👀
Thats the so called Martinelli 1% chance 99 % faith
They have fubds for Nelson and Lokonga
ref is actually horrible
was hoping arteta would at least bring gyokeres on
Giants closer Camilo Doval is now being discussed in possible trade scenarios. Many relievers went yesterday but still on board: M. Miller, R. Suarez, Bednar, D. Santana, C. Smith, Jax, R. Iglesias, P. Maton, P. Johnson, S. Wilson, Finnegan, Fairbanks, more (not all will move)
MARTINELLI IS FUCKING SHIT
Arsenal fans overreacting on twitter is so funny bruh
Saka washed, same shit every season, lmao it's a preseason friendly with rotations
You want players to die with nothing on the line
Never take seriously pre season friendlies
Dowman, show me the power child

Trossard got subbed on and subbed off
Damn injured?
Shit
So shit sofascore thought the only way he could get subbed off was if he was injured?
🥀
Trossard getting injured as soon as he gets linked to move away with 1 month of the window left
time to delete tiktok till the next friendly
I think we may get relegated this season
thats a bit far 😭
Some of these twitter accounts need to DIE

@silk pine
If the Shane Bieber trade to Toronto is finalized, pitching prospect Khal Stephen is likely to go to Cleveland in the deal.
@MLBNetwork
genuinely if we do that corner routine where we pass it short and dont even cross it im not watching the rest of that game
getting turned straight off
according to Pipeline TOP 5 in Blue Jays farm
Only 1 for 1
Toronto-Cleveland trade will be 1 for 1, source says.
Shane Bieber for Khal Stephen.
@MLBNetwork
Per source: Tigers are acquiring reliever Paul Sewald from Cleveland. He’s posted a 30% whiff rate over the last three seasons. Details on the return to come. Could be a cash or player to be named.

I like this move potential wise
West Ham United can confirm that an independent Regulatory Commission has cleared Lucas Paquetá of misconduct charges made against him by the Football Association for alleged breaches of FA rule E5.
FINALLY
@dim ledge finally
Cause there’s nobody better than Lucas Paqueta and now he’s one of our own ❤️🫧
Mets are still talking about Luis Robert Jr. (Cedric Mullins also possible for CF). White Sox best other options appear to be Phillies and Padres
Jays fans from the Urinatingtree server are pissed
Pissed?? At Shane?
I know he is coming back from surgery and shit
But idk about being pissed
I just hope this isn't all Ross does
At the the FO for trading a top top prospect for Shane
L o l
You’re not wrong
Tell him Gabi
That was Gene Michael’s team
He created the core “4” plus Bernie Williams
@robust grotto @sacred kite https://x.com/francysromerofr/status/1950926808230097018?s=46&t=rWIcu5lKJpPlbqphBHJdXA
Luis Robert continues to draw interest on the market, per sources. The White Sox are seeking an MLB guy and two prospects in return for the Cuban outfielder, per industry sources.
Phillies, Mets, and possibly the Padres are in the race."
Sheeesh
Yankees downfall 
Ehhhh he wasn't like Arjun or Trey
Is what it is
Some do argue that he was like a top 100 overall
@rustic mountain ohhhh
After acquiring All Star Shane Bieber, the Toronto Blue Jays are not done according to @Ken_Rosenthal, as they have entered the sweepstakes for A’s Mason Miller.
Speaking of more jays stuff
Btw padres also in the mix for miller
@rustic mountain https://x.com/bluejays/status/1950927521593077855?s=46
Nice
Last time I mentioned him I called him ass
Plan is for Tyler Locklear to immediately play first base for the Diamondbacks. They will give him every opportunity to win the job for the future. Tristin English will likely to get sent down.
BREAKING: The San Diego Padres are acquiring closer Mason Miller and starter J.P. Sears from the A's, sources tell ESPN.
BANG
BANG BANG
The A's are receiving shortstop Leodalis De Vries, the No. 3 overall prospect in baseball, along with three pitchers from San Diego for Mason Miller and J.P. Sears, sources tell ESPN.
Two Beibers in Canada >
And I was 90% sure we weren't getting Miller that's fine
Id rather get another bat if possible but we will see what hapoens
Happens*
Beiber and Dominguez is fine but not move the needle
Ooo
3RD OVERALL TOP 100 PROSPECT IS CRAZY
granted miller has 4 1/2 years of control plus JP sears
Makes sense why the Jays walked away
Plus 3 Pitchers
Keeping Trey and Arjun is more important than Miller
That's a lot for Miller and Sears
The Padres and Mets continue the tradition of forking over money and trades
4 1/3 years of control does that
At least the worst the AL really did was the Mariners getting Suarez back
The Padres now can move starter Dylan Cease after getting starter J.P. Sears.
Wonder if Ross stays pat with Shane or tries for Cease too
The Red Sox could now be in the mix for Dylan Cease, industry sources tell me.
The Padres have had extensive talks with the Red Sox about Jarren Duran -- the Red Sox keep saying no -- and with the Guardians about Steven Kwan. Some rival execs fully expect the Padres to land one of these two by day's end.
I love that San Diego does all this
Just to get ousted in the 2nd round of the playoffs
AJ Preller is always a wild card at trade Deadlines
NL is just so good man
Robert Suarez is making $10 million this year -- meaning he's owed about $3.3 million for the rest of this season -- and he holds $8 million player options for 2026 and 2027, which he may well reject given his performance. Tigers, Mariners, Cubs, Yankees, Astros among the many teams that have asked around about bullpen help.
Yeh I know which is what makes this hilarious because I don't expect any move the Padres make today to put them in the WA
Sorta like the West in hockey where every year you see Vegas, Dallas, or Colorado go for it… just to inevitably get fucked lol
WS
Yep
Full trade, per ESPN sources:
Padres receive: Closer Mason Miller, LHP JP Sears
A's receive: SS Leodalis De Vries, RHP Braden Nett, RHP Henry Báez and RHP Eduarniel Nuñez
My thing with the Mets is that I don’t want rentals
I hope they get someone under contract
Imo this aint really the time to be gettin people with control
Leverage is going to be heavy on what you gotta return
A’s got padres number 1 (3rd top 100 overall), padres number 3, padres number 13, padres number 17
For Miller and Sears
A's just restocked their shit for Miller and Sears
Exactly my point, idk if it was worth all that
I think it’s worth it
Prospect rankings are cool but they’re still just magic beans
I am not a trade my top 3 prospect kinda guy
2 top 3 and 1 of them is 3rd overall
Yeah. Not that kinda guy
Astros, Cubs, Yankees, Red Sox among teams in on Sandy Alcantara talk. Value is up on Sandy!
…..
We need to be in that convo
For Sandy???
Ohhhh just realized
Robert Suarez could also be Available now
Why would you wanna be in on him
Idk if I’d do that though if I was AJ
Padres are in serious playoff contention
Go look at our SP rotation
Sandy has negative war and an ERA over 6
There’s no SP around 😞
They’re all playing for the dodgers
We need an ace reaaaaally badly
I know, that's why we took a gamble on Shane Beiber
For sure
Because if he doesn't hit, we at least have a solid enough rotation for this year but if he does, then we have an ace
Rip to the reunion dream for Correa
But that's also why I didnt really want Sandy on the Jays. I don't think he adds any value other than a late end starter but Eric Lauer has been great this year, no need to get Sandy
I am glad that is dead
The Padres have no plans to trade closer Robert Suarez, giving them the best bullpen in baseball.
They also may keep starter Dylan Cease, after all, with J.P. Sears giving them plenty of depth.
Once again, the Padres are all-in.
I meant Correa sorry
I know I was saying that I didnt want to see two of em lmao
The Tigers and Yankees are among the teams still engaged with the Pirates on their available relievers.
@MLBNetwork
Ohhhhhhhhhh
Ross not talking to the Pirates? Well there goes my hopes
Just get a bat somewhere Ross
And we will see what we can do this year I guess. We do have Varsho coming back
Addison
I want to say Diggs because training camp vibes but those are training camp vibes and you dont listen to those
I got Henderson from you guys :)
Bad memories just from the concept of using IL comebacks as “trade deadline acquisitions”
Not a bad pickup imo, McDaniels offense loves the pass back
#WashedMan
Yeh I feel it. I love Varsho but I think we need another bat even if he and and Santander came back fully 100%
Hyper important sports news!!!
Of the pending returns of Luis Gil, Mark Leiter, Jr., Fernando Cruz and Ryan Yarbrough, Aaron Boone said those “hopefully are big deals for us.”
Thus far, Yankees have been hesitant to meet the asking prices on the relief market.
The #WhiteSox continue conversations regarding trading OF Luis Robert, Jr. with the #Mets #Phillies and #Padres still involved to some extent.
Boone is coping
I’d be pisssssssssssssed
Oh my god, just let him go to a real team already.
-# yep
Boone and Cashman - “player X returning from injury is like getting a player at the deadline”
You missed the AJ Preller move
2025
EVERY SEASON
Also lunik paqueta news is huge. Think you guys will try to cash in or will he be someone you try to build around
At least Boone knows the fundamentals of coping.
All to lose in the NLCS as always
Personally I think at this point we should hang on. Apparently he’s happy with both outcomes, he very much loves the fact that the club and fans stood besides him this entire process and is comfortable honoring his contract for another season
I can’t stress enough how bad this was for his mental health. We had to pull him early from a game against Spurs last year because he started crying after picking up a yellow
See I see this shit and I immediately go "Oh that's why Ross walked away good"
BTW. The A's are not a serious major league team as always.
If the Padres can’t get Steven Kwan, they’ll look at Laureano and Luis Robert Jr. to fill OF need
THAT TRADE SHOWS THAT THEY ARE SERIOUS
THEY GOT A 3RD OVERALL PROSPECT
The A's are just waiting for Vegas so they can turn up
YEP!
And I am pumped about that
Yeah, I don't care until the results come in on that
The A's are just in limbo rn and anything they do is just kinda fucking around
Not gonna be a real team until they are fully in Vegas and then we finally can move on
At least the trade deadline has been more fun than the Nintendo direct was
By the time they're in Vegas, a salary cap will be put in. So, they're not throwing tons of money at players lol
Octopath 0 look good? I enjoyed 2
I just wish John Fisher didn’t benefit
I am not big on random encounters
The trade deadline for the Rays was like the past Nintendo Direct. Planned at the last second,
Didn’t think the direct was that bad
Not the correct channel to give an opinion….. but i liked it for a partner showcase C+/B-
Hey. Nintendo still owns at least 10% of the Mariners.
For sure for sure, sorry was just trying to relate today's biggest events
They dooooooooooi
No I meant on my end
lol
Oh lol
The comparison is funny
Cubs are among teams trying for Mackenzie Gore. With two plus years to go , no urgency to trade him. Told nothing close yet.
I love the trade deadline. Lots of teams desperate to get a few more rental pieces to only lose in the WC or the divisional series.
Either way, I can't take the Guards seriously.
Yikes: Caleb Williams throws a hospital ball to star WR Rome Odunze...😳😬
︀︀
︀︀If this were in an actual game, it would've been terrible.
"He stole my 5 stars in Chance Time in Mario Party 3 last night. So I chose to try and steal his head."
The Astros' trade talks with the Twins for shortstop Carlos Correa are all but dead. The Astros asked the Twins to pay about $50 million of the remaining $102.5 million left in Correa's contract, and to include an outfielder. The Twins rejected the offer, and aren't budging.
Such a Twins decision.
Cubs are among teams trying for Mackenzie Gore. With two plus years to go , no urgency to trade him. Told nothing close yet.
UECL qualis be having the funniest matchups
Talks involving Yandy Díaz are currently stalled, with the Rays demanding a high price and showing no rush to make a deal while sitting just 3 games out of the Wild Card race, according to industry sources.
Phillies, in addition to Padres, Reds and others, are a potential fit for Ramon Laureano, who’s having a big year (.884 OPS). O’s could also hold as they have an option for 2026.
If we trade kwan i will absolutely lose it
Bieber is already rough
Yea im upset about that
At least there's footba-
If kwan gets traded i may have to hang up the fandom once jose retires 
How to be a happy sports fan:
1: Don't like Ohio Teams
I couldnt imagine being jose taking the most team friendly deal ever and having a front office that wont spend to get people around you
I do feel for him but at the same time, Cleveland historically hasn't really gone out of their way for stars
Well, at least in some way, there will be a salary cap and floor by 2028
Yeah that is still crazy
Good. Sue the FA
Yea but who is the last generational talent the team has had who willingky wanted to stay
Lindor didnt want to stay no matter the money
Legit is a 285 million player that is getting payed 141 million
Says a lot about the culture of a team.
The team is so fucking cooked when he retires
I dont think its a culture thing
Never heard of many if any locker room issues under francona until covid stuff
And the team did well above what anyone expected last year with vogt
https://fxtwitter.com/cubs/status/1950952181722415304?s=46
this is a great tribute
Rip Sandberg
You know, there has to a reason and it might just be an individual thing. Lindor had to hate something about the team or city.
Just like Johnny Hockey leaving for the Jackets a few years ago. RIP
I mean if anything it was probably just the team never winning it all in 2016 and thats the best chance they ever had
The Guards are just the Ohio version of the Rays. Will be good enough to make the playoffs but only 1 and 10 chance of actually doing anything in the playoffs because they refuse to add to the roster.
Forever screwed by a bum owner
Shannon describing the Mariners plane last night:
-They held the plane up for Geno (and didn’t tell the players)
-Players cheered when he finally boarded
-Geno went down the entire aisle and hugged every player
-Perry Hill was very excited
That is adorable
Okay. I read Geno and Mariners, and the first thing that pops into my head:
Hahaha I wish but as if the owner wants to spend money on legal fees against the FA of all entities
Sources: The Tigers were in talks with the Cardinals for Ryan Helsley before the Mets acquired him.
Helsley is a pending free agent; Detroit has preferred controllable options, such as Pirates closer David Bednar.

Twins talks on Harrison Bader have intensified.
Would expect him to be dealt in the next several hours.

The Philadelphia Phillies are finalizing a trade to acquire outfielder Harrison Bader from the Minnesota Twins, sources tell ESPN.
@sacred kite
I think it’s sorta like G in hockey or QB in football… there’s really only an X amount of good ones available. He may be ass right now buts he’s put enough on tape to prove he’s ability to be the man
I suppose. Idk I guess to me this is like Kirk Cousins or something
The Harrison Bader-to-Philadelphia deal, which is pending medical review, will send an outfield prospect and pitching prospect to the Twins, sources tell ESPN.
A Steven Kwan trade today is viewed as increasingly likely, source says.

At this point, I compare pitchers to running backs in Football. Really good players to have on the team, that are one ACL or TJ surgery away from being a bust and buyer's remorse.
Phillies are sending outfielder Hendry Mendez and righty Geremy Villoria to Twins for Harrison Bader, according to sources.
Remember when the Twins finally got that playoff series win a few years ago. Nah. Let's just blow it up because contention means spending money.
Twins definitely prepping to sell the team
It is easier to sell when the team has a lower payroll
It's easier to get more buyers, but owning a MLB team is valuable already.
Although the White Sox have spoken with a number of teams about Luis Robert Jr., sources say it's more likely he stays with Chicago through the Trade Deadline. The White Sox would likely pick up his $20M option for 2026 and hope for more of what they've seen over the past month.
If my team trades their 13th-ranked prospect that I don't have an opinion about, I'll be thrilled to get big league help in return! But if they trade my pet favorite 16th-ranked prospect who has improved his rolling EV90 by +3 MPH over the last six weeks, I'll end my pathetic li-
God, I hate anime filler
The Los Angeles Dodgers are finalizing a deal to acquire right-handed reliever Brock Stewart from the Minnesota Twins, sources tell ESPN.
The Sox might as well say, "In 5 minutes, Luis Robert will be traded"
@honest umbra
@hollow wind
Dude is a stud reliever
Teams with good/great pieces consistently ask the Yankees about top OF prospect Spencer Jones . The Yankees are consistent on this too: They will only trade Jones (and others in package) for Paul Skenes, who’s not available and not going anywhere.
They said Cashman and co. are in the war room in Tampa. Does that mean the Yankees front office and Rays front office are a hallway apart right now at Steinbrenner field?
Yes
Everyone has those propeller hats lol
Bs War Room
Lol every club conceded at once
Oh my God I hate this league so much
Genuinely life would be rainbows and sunshine without it
The Astros are one team to watch on Steven Kwan.
Houston has had 3 different starting left fielders in the last 3 games.
@MLBNetwork
The Cubs are actively trying to make moves, but sources say Chicago is declining to part with Moisés Ballesteros, who ranks as the club's No. 2 prospect per @MLBPipeline, who ranks him as the No. 47 prospect in its Top 100.
The Pirates are speaking with a number of teams about David Bednar including the Yankees, per sources. New York is trying to add to the back end of its bullpen, with Bednar (under control through 2026) as the top option.
Phillies White Boy Summer
Phillies new projected lineup:
1.) White Guy
2.) White Guy
3.) White Guy
4.) White Guy
5.) White Guy
6.) White Guy
7.) White Guy
8.) Edmundo Sosa
9.) White Guy
The Boston dream line up
Not diverse enough make the entire rotation
White boys
Ugh
The worst part of this image is that those are all shit tier bottles
Like, cooking wine at very best
Unfortunately Aris had a proper legend....
They must be kept for the culture
Take some cypriot teams
Or uhhhh
The new Athens team, they're fun and fashionable
The New York Yankees are finalizing a trade to acquire closer David Bednar from the Pittsburgh Pirates, sources tell ESPN. Deal is pending medical review.
@desert palm
Anyone with a soul
The San Diego Padres are acquiring catcher Freddy Fermin from the Kansas City Royals for right-hander Ryan Bergert, sources tell ESPN.
Bang another Padres trade
Definitely knew it was going to happen after we sold off Hayes to Cincinnati for peanuts
Sources: Rafael Flores is among the players going to the Pirates from the Yankees in the David Bednar deal.
Number eight in the Yankees farm
Our top catcher/1st base
Among the return to the Pirates in Bednar deal, per ESPN sources: Catcher Rafael Flores, who tore up AA, is now at AAA, is a top-shelf framer and regarded as a big league-ready catcher. A very good centerpiece. Also in it: Edgleen Perez, who is 19 with excellent swing decisions.
Feeling good? @desert palm
Relax, preseason
Very weird 2 catching prospects
Who is the third?
We know there’s a third piece in this trade
@trim timber

Well when this blows up again next year at least Cherrington won't be able to manage a Wendy's after all these calls

Raimon Gomez, Anthony Nunez and Chandler Marsh are going back to Baltimore, per source.

The Twins are receiving OF James Outman for Brock Stewart. It’s a one-for-one deal.
Outman, 28, is hitting .289 with 20 HR and 74 RBI in a hitter-friendly AAA league.
Astros aren’t completely off of Carlos Correa. Still talking to Twins, Lot of finances to work out, however.
?!?!?!?
The Mets doing Mets things
@robust grotto @honest latch @warm kestrel @restive vector
Don’t believe it
The Mets trying everything to get a WS in the next 2 years before the lockout. The Cohen Plan.
Braking news

He is a reporter but probably known for the most unreliable record
For official sources anyways

Pivotal in the World Series run

Trades! Overpayments! Magic Beans! All of this and more up to the 6PM Eastern Time deadline for MLB teams to bolster their rosters (or sell for prospects and the future). Join me over the next few hours as we go over all the doings in baseball... and mald about the Pirates sucking ass.
Pray for Cleveland. They're in hell.
why... why are we trading for a second OF??
well then. thankfully it's just braking news
Michael has always been hit or miss
All this to lose to the Cubs or Padres in the NLDS.
What the hell is that
MLB side hustle until they get their big league contracts years later
Always a fun time
Source: The Astros are have agreed to a deal to reacquire Carlos Correa in a trade with the Twins.
REUNION IS REAL
BROOOOOOOOOO
fuck
@rustic lichen
We all know the Dodgers are gonna win the WS and break the baseball world again. Before the Rays win the WS in 2026. Because, goddamnit, the parallels between MLB now and the NHL in 2004-2005 are just too close.
Yeah but like we all know Geno is better
dont get me wrong we've won this deadline as far as im concerned
i just didnt want the astros to get anyone
correa's ankles are mush though
Yankee fans when Correa suddenly becomes great again against them in October:
Still no official update on #Rays-#Yankees game, though rain has let up considerably.
MLB: Hey. Weren't Diaz and Brandon Lowe just playing a few hours ago?
Rays: Umm... They got washed away.
love watching football, its the best
The New York Mets are NOT trading for Adolis García, sources tell @ElExtrabase.

Trade deadline does that
Before nfl preseason football

What time does the deadline end?
My honest reaction to the Rays in july
wtf hojlunds accent threw me off
Just enough time to get my hopes up for a bat that Ross won't add because he is too busy getting a reliever with a 5+ era
1 hour 5 minutes from now
Now 1 hour and 4
dominguez is really good tbf
Hearing, but not confirmed, that #orioles getting 6 players back from SD in O'Hearn/Laureano trade
Nothing

I am holding the Athletic responsible if we don't get anything
UNDER AN HOUR OUT
ONLY ONEEEE HOUR LEFT
The Los Angeles Dodgers are acquiring outfielder Alex Call from the Washington Nationals, a source tells ESPN.
Twins officially back to being the T's

Weird
He couldn’t iron out the kinks though
And is on a one year
T'S MADE LIKE 15 TRADES
Williams bednar doval weaver is a crazy bullpen
The Minnesota Twins have traded 10 players off their 26-man roster in less than 24 hours!
YEP
We got the bones of Ty France and Louis Varland to end the day. Very on brand Atkins
@smoky fable sorry
@restive vector prepare for the DLO experience
?????
They got off of Jordan Montgomery
I take it
You are okay with all the fire sale moves
yes
with how bad they've been, yes
Know when to cut loose
@sweet tree @dawn tapir @rustic ore
For contract leverage, but it got that bad
MMMMMMMMM
Pay him
He deserves it
Is this good for him on my fantasy
damn...
He probably doesn't get traded, but it depends on the team. I'm kind of glad you drafted Kittle cause of that Jauan Jennings calf injury as a sidenote. Although that sucks for your other fantasy team as well.
We shall see
I miss Luka
Kemdrick Bourne and a 2nd rounder and hand over the McLaurin
All right let's settle down a bit
They might fire Daboll by then you don't know!
That was the craziest trade deadline I’ve ever seen in the five years I’ve been really following baseball
Non-baseball people there were so many moves
My brain still can’t comprehend how big it was
Gonna need more than that to beat a team that just went to the nfc title game with arguably one of the better qbs in the league
We only need one man
Is that man a QB?
Ngl I’ll take Bader he’s not a crazy but good help in outfield
Watch him be a raider
Their WR1 is Jakobi Meyers right
Indeed he is
Man that’s weird
Watch the dodgers acquire Terry McLaurin
They’ll have the money he wants
first play fumble on the kickoff
I LOVE THIS SPORT
Its the same ol lions 
Bolts cooking them
The lions are not making the superbowl this year
Dicker noooooo
Doink
GIVE ME THAT
Read that the whole way
What a play!
and that was late throw for the pick

All it means is that guys are going to not make the roster.
We still lost
What is this moaning am I genuinely the only one that doesn't understand
Chelsea literally went to the final and have to play a prem game earlier than Real Madrid do

Goda?
New England has a nice sized Parsons hole in our cap space
Jerry makes no sense to me
??? Holy shit
Among the key issues: Micah Parsons spoke directly with Jerry Jones over multiple days in the spring. The team believed those conversations were negotiations and that it had a deal, multiple league sources said.
︀︀
︀︀But Parsons believed the talks were just conversations and wanted his agent to handle the negotiations. When his agent attempted to start negotiations, the Cowboys declined to engage with him and told the pass rusher that they believed they already had a deal.
︀︀
︀︀Now, the team is refusing to engage with Parsons' agent at all, creating a tense standoff amid increasing friction.
