Peralta Tests PitchCalls as Mets Pivot Toward Trade Value

Mets right-hander Freddy Peralta, a top trade chip, tried calling some of his own pitches with PitchCom for the first time this season in a 4 2/3-inning start against Atlanta. Despite a subpar overall line, he leaned on a broader mix (including a season-high number of sweepers) and averaged 95.1 mph on his fastball, signaling improved form that could boost his value ahead of the Aug. 3 deadline. With an $8 million salary and a strong track record, Peralta remains attractive to contenders (Cubs, Padres, Blue Jays, Rays, among others) as New York looks to sellers amid a difficult season.

Yankees' Tarik Skubal pursuit fades as they chase catcher, bullpen

The Yankees are unlikely to land Tarik Skubal at the trade deadline as their priorities are catcher and bullpen, with Detroit considering Yankees prospects (notably George Lombard Jr. and reliever Carlos Lagrange); a Lombard-for-a-rental deal is deemed a 'no chance,' and the Yankees' catchers are hitting only .184 with a .548 OPS.

Skubal Could Be Mariners' Big Deadline Upgrade

ESPN insider Jeff Passan argues Tarik Skubal, a two-time Cy Young winner, would be a strong trade target for the Seattle Mariners at the MLB deadline to boost a rotation that already features six solid starters and prized pitching prospects; Skubal’s elbow surgery recovery has him nearing a rehab assignment, and Detroit may be open to moving him as he heads to free agency after the season, potentially in a deal that could involve exchanging a current starter, with Passan also noting other fit options like Rico Garcia and Jo Adell.
