Phillies land veteran lefty Brooks Raley from Mets

Philadelphia has agreed to acquire left-hander Brooks Raley from the New York Mets in exchange for prospects Luke Gabrysh and John Spikerman, adding a proven lefty reliever to a bullpen that has underperformed. Raley, 38, has posted strong numbers since returning from Tommy John surgery (67 innings, 2.15 ERA, 2.72 FIP, 3.59 SIERA) with elite contact metrics. The deal comes as Philadelphia also completes a separate trade for Luis Arraez and Caleb Kilian with the Giants, with the club needing to open 40-man spots for Raley, Arraez and Kilian.

Braves bolster rotation with Mahle trade from Giants

Braves bolster rotation with Mahle trade from Giants

The Atlanta Braves acquired Tyler Mahle from the San Francisco Giants in exchange for reliever Anthony Molina, adding mid-rotation depth behind Chris Sale as Atlanta navigates multiple rotation injuries. Mahle has been healthy this year but carries an injury history (Tommy John in 2023, past shoulder issues) and enters with a 5.13 ERA over 18 starts (3.79 ERA in his last seven), after a one-year, $10M contract with SF. The move is a depth addition to stabilize the rotation rather than a blockbuster upgrade.

Cubs send Taillon to Blue Jays in cash or PTBNL deal after DFA

The Cubs designated Jameson Taillon for assignment and have traded him to the Toronto Blue Jays for cash considerations or a player to be named later. Taillon, who signed a four-year, $68 million contract with Chicago before 2023, struggled in 2026 (2-6, 5.92 ERA) and with a hamstring injury, prompting the DFA and subsequent move. Taillon was well-liked in Chicago, and his departure could impact both clubs as he potentially debuts for Toronto soon.

Blue Jays land Taillon to shore up rotation after Cubs DFA

Blue Jays land Taillon to shore up rotation after Cubs DFA

The Toronto Blue Jays acquired Jameson Taillon from the Chicago Cubs to bolster their rotation, adding a veteran right-hander after the Cubs designated him for assignment. Toronto will clear a 40-man spot by moving Lenyn Sosa to the 60-day injured list and will send cash considerations or a player to be named later back to Chicago. Taillon, 34, signed a four-year, $68 million deal with the Cubs in 2023 and had been a solid innings eater early in that contract, but he was tagged with a 5.92 ERA in 2026 as his home run issues spiked, contributing to the DFA. The move signals the Jays’ intent to add pitching depth for the stretch run, potentially absorbing innings as they navigate their rotation ahead of upcoming trades.

Braves Bolster Outfield With Lane Thomas, Add Falter in Royals Trade

The Atlanta Braves acquired Lane Thomas and Bailey Falter from the Kansas City Royals in exchange for minor-league pitchers Carter Holton and Lucas Braun. Thomas provides a left-handed bat for the corner outfield and is expected to help in lefty-heavy matchups, likely sharing duties with Mauricio Dubon and Mike Yastrzemski. Falter adds pitching depth to Atlanta’s roster as the team navigates the trade deadline.

Mead boosts Red Sox, but contending still seems a reach

Mead boosts Red Sox, but contending still seems a reach

The Red Sox traded for Curtis Mead to add punch to the lineup, but the upgrade isn’t enough to guarantee a playoff push; to contend they’ll need more around-the-board upgrades—especially at catcher and shortstop and with starting/relief pitching—pursuing options like CJ Abrams, Hunter Goodman, Zach Neto, Tyler Stephenson, Willy Adames, or Ryan Jeffers, and continuing to trade from surplus talent to address needs for both now and the future.

Duran Reacts as Sox Trade Early for Curtis Mead

Following the Red Sox's trade of Connelly Early to the Washington Nationals for Curtis Mead, Jarren Duran described the moment as emotional as Early said his goodbyes; ESPN's Buster Olney questioned the price of Mead, while Boston beat the Blue Jays 6-1 with Duran contributing three hits, two RBIs, a run and a stolen base, and the club heads west to open a series with the Athletics.

Pirates land Marinaccio, DFA Santana after Yankees-linked bullpen drama

Pirates land Marinaccio, DFA Santana after Yankees-linked bullpen drama

The Pirates kicked off the trade deadline by acquiring Ron Marinaccio from the Padres in exchange for Dennis Santana, who was designated for assignment after another on-field altercation tied to Jose Caballero. Santana, a former Pirate with a volatile reliever history, departs as Marinaccio, who owns a 4.79 ERA over 47 innings this season, heads to Pittsburgh. The Yankees have yet to make a move, while Dodgers and Pirates have already swung bullpen trades against New York, and the piece ends by wondering whether the Yankees might show interest in the DFA’d Santana.

Royals land Nate Pearson from Astros to bolster pitching depth

To bolster pitching depth, the Royals acquired right-hander Nate Pearson from the Astros in exchange for minor league pitcher Max Martin, and designated Kameron Misner for assignment to clear roster space. Pearson, 29, has MLB experience with the Blue Jays, Cubs and Astros, featuring a 98 mph four-seam fastball with a slider, curve and sinker; he appeared in 16 relief appearances in 2024 with a 3.60 ERA, 16 strikeouts and 12 walks in 20 innings. Martin, a 22-year-old right-hander, posted a 2.01 ERA with 36 strikeouts in 40.1 innings across Low-A/High-A. Misner, who had been with Kansas City, hit .220/.256/.244 in 18 games this season.

Royals land former top pitching prospect Nate Pearson from Astros in exchange for Max Martin

The Kansas City Royals acquired right-hander Nate Pearson from the Houston Astros in exchange for minor-league right-hander Max Martin after Pearson was designated for assignment by Houston. Pearson, once a top prospect, has battled injuries and has mostly pitched in relief, but remains controllable through 2027. Kansas City cleared a roster spot by DFA’ing Kameron Misner to complete the deal, while Houston gains a lower-cost bullpen depth piece and trims some payroll.

Bart for Stratton: Braves land catching prospect as Pirates bolster bullpen

In a midseason swap, the Atlanta Braves traded reliever Hunter Stratton to the Pittsburgh Pirates for catcher Joey Bart. Atlanta designated Sandy León to clear a 40-man spot; Stratton will report to Triple-A Indianapolis and won’t join the Pirates’ MLB club for now. Bart, on the 10-day injured list with a left-foot infection, is expected to be activated by Atlanta, which will take on Bart’s $2.53 million salary (about $1.3 million remaining) and a 20% luxury-tax overage. The Pirates already rely on Endy Rodríguez as their catcher, with Henry Davis on the roster, while the Braves hope Bart can provide a capable backup behind the dish.

Phillies Eye Trade Market for Back-End Rotation Help

Phillies Eye Trade Market for Back-End Rotation Help

The Phillies have begun surveying the trade market for a back-end starter or swingman to bolster a rotation that’s been unstable after demoting rookie Andrew Painter; the top half of the rotation has been excellent, but Aaron Nola’s high ERA leaves the final spot wide open. With limited internal options and many teams selling around the deadline, Philadelphia is likely to monitor DFA moves and wait for clearer mid-rotation targets rather than rush a deal.

Astros Add Infield Depth by Acquiring Braden Shewmake in Yankees Swap

The Yankees traded infielder Braden Shewmake to the Astros for right-hander Wilmy Sanchez. Houston also placed Joey Loperfido on the injured list and recalled Jayden Murray, returning to a 13-man pitching staff. Shewmake provides infield depth for an Astros club missing multiple shortstops as Jeremy Peña and Nick Allen deal with injuries. He posted an 82 wRC+ in 72 Triple-A games last season and went 1-for-10 in 2026 at Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. Sanchez, a reliever who has climbed Houston’s ladder, has moved from starter to bullpen with improving results; he logged a 3.50 ERA across 54 innings in the minors in earlier seasons and has allowed just one run over seven innings in five Double-A outings this year.
