"It's been quite the week for headline-grabbing baseball trades. Luis Robert Jr. and Freddy Peralta were both traded just 24 hours apart, and acquired by the same team - the New York Mets, who also formally introduced free-agent acquisition Bo Bichette earlier this week. It's crazy how the entire outlook of a club's off-season can be flipped on its head in just a few days."
"Following several months of trade speculation, the Nationals officially pulled the trigger on dealing Gore - whom they acquired as part of the massive return for superstar Juan Soto back in 2022 - to the Rangers, receiving a substantial haul of prospects in return, according to reports. Washington traded the remaining two seasons of Gore's club control (a free agent after 2027) in exchange for infielders Gavin Fien, Devin Fitz-Gerald and Abimelec Ortiz, right-hander Alejandro Rosario and outfielder Yeremy Cabrera."
Major moves reshaped several MLB rosters over a few days. The New York Mets acquired outfielder Luis Robert Jr. and pitcher Freddy Peralta within 24 hours and formally introduced free-agent signing Bo Bichette. The New York Yankees reunited with outfielder Cody Bellinger on a five-year, $162.5 million contract after prolonged negotiations. The Washington Nationals traded MacKenzie Gore to the Texas Rangers for five top-20 prospects: Gavin Fien, Devin Fitz-Gerald, Abimelec Ortiz, Alejandro Rosario and Yeremy Cabrera. Fien was the Rangers' No. 2 prospect and a recent 12th overall draft pick. Gore brings front-of-the-rotation swing-and-miss stuff but had two seasons remaining of club control.
