Pirates land Doval in deadline swap with Yankees

The Pittsburgh Pirates acquired right-hander Camilo Doval from the New York Yankees, in a trade that sends two prospects to New York while the Yankees receive catcher Omar Alfonzo and outfielder Luis Cruz.

Marlins Poised to Add Pieces at Deadline While Keeping Sandy Alcantara

The Miami Marlins, riding a hot streak, are expected to be buyers at the August 3 trade deadline, targeting a back-end starter, bullpen depth, and possibly a third baseman, while keeping franchise icon Sandy Alcantara.

Alcantara’s retention is favored by ownership, and extending him could be preferred if the CBA increases spending; overall, the club aims for a balanced, sustainable push rather than a big, all-in move.
