The Braves acquired Sean Murphy from the Athletics in a three-team deal. The Braves sent three somewhat decent minor leaguers and William Contreras to get him. I won't rehash it, but it seemed like good value each way at the time. Though, you can argue if it was worth it. I won't stop you. But how did the Brewers get William Contreras? I mean, I clearly understand how it happened, but I don't understand how they were able to muscle their way into this trade.

"I was hoping I'd be traded again because looking at the Dodger roster at the time, I thought I was going to make a career out of Triple-A baseball," Hernandez said. "(President of baseball operations) Andrew Friedman got on the phone with me and said their plans were real with me. They were looking for players like me as far as playing different positions. And I was saying to myself, 'Alright, sure. I'll believe it when I see it.'"

In 2020, Andrés Giménez finished his rookie season by finishing in the top 10 in NL Rookie of the Year voting as a member of the New York Mets. After one season in New York, Gimenez's tenure with the Mets was shortly over. Giménez was traded by the Mets in part of the trade that sent superstar shortstop Francisco Lindor to New York from Cleveland.

Adrian Houser has joined the Rays after a strong 2.10 ERA in 11 starts with the White Sox, despite a low strikeout percentage.

When A.J. Preller executed five trades involving 22 players in six hours, he was both celebrated and criticized, reflecting his polarizing reputation in Major League Baseball.

Adrian Houser was scratched from his scheduled start against the Phillies, indicating that the White Sox are preparing for a potential trade before the deadline.

Derek Jeter pointed out that the Yankees make too many mistakes, stating, "You can't get away with making that number of mistakes against great teams." This critique followed a night where the Yankees struggled significantly on the field.

Aaron Judge, recovering from a flexor strain in his right elbow, is set to return soon, and the Yankees aim to activate him in Texas next week.

Ryan McMahon was traded to the Yankees, indicating the Rockies are actively selling players as the trade deadline approaches. Colorado is open to trading relievers, including Bird.

Eflin is set to return from the injured list today. He has struggled this year with a 5.95 ERA in 12 starts. A strong performance could attract trade interest.

Among the rental players, Castro fits the broadest number of teams, given his versatility. The 28-year-old switch-hitter is enjoying a nice season at the plate, hitting .258/.350/.435 with 10 homers, 14 doubles, two triples, eight steals (ten attempts) and a career-best 10% walk rate.

The Cardinals are shopping right-hander Erick Fedde, seeking trades regardless of whether they decide to buy or sell by the deadline.

Ozuna has been mired in a dreadful slump, hitting just .165/.257/.271 over his past 153 trips to the plate.

With two bad performances by starting pitchers, Miles Mikolas and Erick Fedde, the Cardinals may seek to trade for at least one veteran starting pitcher.

Adolis Garcia’s exceptional 39 home runs and .245 batting average in 2023 make him a prime candidate for the Phillies, who seek a potent right-handed outfield bat.
