The Braves picked up Carrasco from the New York Yankees prior to the Trade Deadline on July 28. He'd signed with the Yankees as a minor league free agent prior to the season and had spent time on the big league roster before being designated for assignment by New York in June. He returned to the Yankees organization, pitching at Triple-A, prior to his trade to Atlanta.
Phillips has seemingly become one of the top players available across the NFL ahead of Tuesday's trade deadline. The Dolphins fell to 2-7 following their loss to the Ravens on Thursday and parted ways with their general manager on Friday, raising the speculation that they could be trading players in the coming days. Phillips hasn't been the reason for the Dolphins' poor play, logging a sack on Thursday and two sacks in the last three games.
On the short week coming off the Dolphins' stunning 34-10 win against the Atlanta Falcons, Chubb first surfaced on the Monday injury report with the two ailments after making it through the game at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. On Tuesday, both Chubb and coach Mike McDaniel said they expected him to be ready to play. "I'm very confident, unless there's a setback, that he'll be playing," McDaniel said. "He has given me zero indication that he wouldn't." "I'll be good," Chubb added. "It is just one of those things, you got a short week, things flare up from the game before, you just want to make sure you get on it and correct it."
Back at the trade deadline, the Toronto Blue Jays were looking for some key players that could be difference makers for them down the stretch and especially in MLB Playoffs. The Blue Jays ended up doing well in the pitching department, with starter Shane Bieber delivering when the team needed him most and reliever Louis Varland becoming a trusted arm to come in for key high-leverage situations.
The New York Islanders might be in the NHL's most hopeless situation, and if the constant losing keeps up, there could be whispers of a potential fire sale that could make waves through Long Island, perhaps even before the league takes a break for the Olympics. It makes sense at first, considering the Isles' recent track record as a team that has been in steady decline.
Ford's due only $1.2 million over the rest of 2025, and he has averaged a respectable 4.4 yards per carry as a pro, often with dismal passing attacks. As a veteran back who can soak up meaningful touches now and complement Hampton after the rookie returns, Ford fits the sort of profile the Chargers would be looking to add via trade.
But, if the 4-2 Patriots really want to seize the opportunity this season in a wide-open AFC field, Eliot Wolf should leave no stone unturned when it comes to upgrading Maye's arsenal of pass-catchers. And after showcasing his explosive speed against New England on Sunday, could Saints wideout Chris Olave be a viable target for the Patriots ahead of the NFL's Nov. 4 trade deadline?
They still need help there (as evidenced by AA stating that that would be one of the positions "in the discussion" for improvement during this offseason) but at least they won't have to look far when it comes to finding some initial help. Kinley's initial stint with the Braves went about as well as everybody could've hoped for and again, bringing him back on the club option should really be a no-brainer.
During Lou Lamoriello's tenure with the NY Islanders, a portion of the contracts the former GM gave out involved max-term or close to it. The AAV given out was fair, but as the salary cap continues to rise, many of these contracts can be looked at as steals in their later years. The salaries given out this off-season have been substantially inflated. Today, Jake Walman signed a seven-year, $7M AAV contract with the Edmonton Oilers.
Bader himself later spoke to reporters (including Tim Kelly of On Pattison) and revealed that he would be undergoing imaging to determine the extent of his injury. While the situation might seem concerning, Bader is considered day-to-day for the time being and expressed confidence that he'll return to the Phillies' lineup during this series. He noted that he'll rest during tomorrow's day off and "go from there," adding that playing in the postseason is the time where you "empty the tank," suggesting a willingness to try and play through an injury that might otherwise sit him down at another point in the season.
We're a month into the NFL season, and insiders Jeremy Fowler and Dan Graziano have been making calls to sources around the league for the latest news and buzz on key situations heading into October play. One of the biggest storylines of the week is what's going on with the Ravens and their 1-3 start. Jeremy and Dan have intel on the sentiments in Baltimore and how much panic the Ravens are feeling.
The Padres clinched a playoff berth with a 5-4, 11-inning win against the three-time NL Central champion Milwaukee Brewers on Monday night. Freddy Fermin, acquired from Kansas City at the trade deadline on July 31, drove the first pitch he saw from Grant Anderson to center field with one out in the 11th, singling in automatic runner Bryce Johnson and setting off a wild celebration in front of a sellout crowd of 42,371 at Petco Park.
Enter Gregory Soto, who simultaneously has been quietly terrible and in the top half of the Mets' trade-deadline acquisitions in terms of performance, which tells you all you need to know about how the trade deadline has turned out. Soto immediately allowed the inherited runner to score, escaped the fifth without further harm, and then fell apart in the sixth, putting the game out of reach.
Pretty good! A winning record in a month is always a plus. We had win streaks going. We took three of four from the Yankees and four of four from the Orioles in their own houses. Roman Anthony really started to dominate. Payton Tolle debuted. I can't really complain. It seemed like every loss this month was extra annoying, though.
