Padres Stand Pat on Elite Relievers as Deadline Looms

San Diego isn’t expected to move Adrián Morejón or Mason Miller at the trade deadline; Miller remains a top-controllable reliever, while Morejón’s value is tempered by a likely qualifying offer and luxury-tax concerns. The Padres may shop other relievers like Wandy Peralta or Yuki Matsui and still pursue upgrades at the outfield or rotation, but a deal involving the two stars seems unlikely.

Twins Part Ways With Bowman and Brebbia After Opt-Outs

The Minnesota Twins released veterans Matt Bowman and John Brebbia after both invoked opt-out clauses, leaving Triple-A St. Paul and not adding them to Minnesota’s 40-man roster. Bowman, a 34-year-old with seven MLB seasons, has solid Triple-A numbers this year, while Brebbia, 35, has more MLB experience but has struggled recently, including a high home-run rate. Both players are now free agents and could sign elsewhere, with Bowman potentially drawing a major-league opportunity.

The Pirates are open to trading him, despite his ties to the team, with other clubs like the Rangers, Tigers, Phillies, and Dodgers also interested.

The Kansas City Royals lost 5-1 to the Minnesota Twins, with Bobby Witt Jr. showing promise but the team's relievers struggling.

The Royals are 0-2 and facing challenges with their offense and bullpen, hoping to turn things around in the upcoming games.
