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.

Sox land Durbin in multi-player infield upgrade

The Red Sox are acquiring Caleb Durbin from the Brewers in a multi-player deal that also sends Kyle Harrison, Shane Drohan and David Hamilton to Milwaukee, while Boston gains Andruw Monasterio, Anthony Seigler and a Competitive Balance Round B pick. Durbin, 25, is a versatile 2B/3B with a strong 2025 rookie year (.256/.334/.387, 11 HR, 18 steals) and solid defense, giving Boston a controllable, run-prevention-oriented infielder for the near future.

Rockies land Julien and Ohl to boost offense and pitching depth

Rockies land Julien and Ohl to boost offense and pitching depth

Colorado Rockies acquire infielder Edouard Julien and right-hander Pierson Ohl from the Minnesota Twins for minor-league RHP Jace Kaminska and cash, while clearing 40-man spots by trading Angel Chivilli and designating Yanquiel Fernández. Julien, a former 2023 rookie standout whose production has declined, provides infield versatility and a controllable timeline, likely at first or second base. Ohl, a 26-year-old with four-seamer experience and strong control, offers starting/relief depth with six years of club control. The trade addresses Colorado’s need for both position player depth and pitching depth as part of a broader front-office reshaping under Paul DePodesta. More to come as the Rockies rebuild.)

Rangers land MacKenzie Gore in five-prospect swap with Nationals

Washington is trading left-hander MacKenzie Gore to the Texas Rangers in a five-prospect deal for Gavin Fien, Alejandro Rosario, Devin Fitz-Gerald, Abimelec Ortiz and Yeremy Cabrera. Gore, 26, posted a strong 3.02 ERA with 138 strikeouts over 19 starts in the first half of 2025 but injuries hampered the second half; with two years of arbitration remaining, his affordable contract helped Texas pursue a controllable upgrade that should slot Gore into the Rangers’ middle rotation behind deGrom and Eovaldi, alongside Jack Leiter.

Giants Target High-Impact 2B Upgrades in Hoerner or Donovan

San Francisco has intensified its pursuit of a proven second baseman, reportedly targeting Cubs’ Nico Hoerner and Cardinals’ Brendan Donovan as upgrades to a weak 2025 group. Donovan appears more attainable given St. Louis’s rebuild, while Hoerner would be a close, high-contact fit; both are 29 next season with defensive versatility. Trade costs could be steep, and Cubs’ win-now posture or Cardinals’ rebuilding push could shape the package. The Giants have payroll room after adding rotation pieces and remain open to other routes (including market shifts from Bo Bichette’s status) to address the position.

Red Sox's Deadline Moves Fall Short of Bold Expectations

The Red Sox approached the 2025 trade deadline with limited ambition, acquiring only rentals Steven Matz and Dustin May, despite earlier promises of urgency and a desire to be more assertive. While they explored significant options like Eugenio Suarez, they ultimately settled for modest moves, falling short of the bold actions taken by other AL teams, which may impact their playoff prospects.

Yankees Eyeing Cody Bellinger Amid Cubs Trade Talks

The New York Yankees are in trade talks with the Chicago Cubs for Cody Bellinger after the Cubs acquired Kyle Tucker from the Astros. The Yankees are seeking financial concessions from the Cubs on Bellinger's contract, which has two years and $52.5 million remaining. Bellinger, a former NL MVP, is seen as a good fit for the Yankees' lineup, potentially allowing Aaron Judge to move back to right field. The Yankees are also interested in Mets' Pete Alonso and have bolstered their bullpen by trading for closer Devin Williams from the Brewers.
