Mitch Keller has shown impressive form, posting a 2.40 ERA over his last 30 innings and a 3.64 ERA for the season over 106 1/3 innings, providing the Pirates with both quality and reliability in their rotation.

Andrew Vaughn, coming to the Brewers in the Aaron Civale trade, is a 1B and DH who hits right-handed and has 77 homers in 4 1/2 seasons in the big leagues - but is slashing .189/.218/.314 in 48 games for the White Sox this season. He also has played the outfield.

26-year-old Nathan Wiles, who spent 2024 in Triple-A with the Rays, will provide much-needed depth for the Braves' minor league roster after being traded.

"It depends on what you give up. He makes a lot of money right now. The Yankees are about $24 million less than they had on their payroll last year, so they could afford him if they wanted to. But man, he's got a bad ankle. He missed some time last year. He was great when he was on the field, but I'm just not sure at this point in his career that you can count on him to stay on the field."

The Diamondbacks' acquisition of Corbin Burnes significantly boosts their rotation depth but raises trade speculation, particularly around struggling lefty Jordan Montgomery.

The NL East just continues to get better with significant trades, like the Phillies acquiring Jesus Luzardo and the Nationals landing Nathaniel Lowe, enhancing their rosters effectively.
