Deadline deals 25

[Marshmallowmilkshake]

This can be for all the non-Mets activity.

The Diamondbacks must have decided to sell, because Josh Naylor is headed to the mariners, per MLB.com.

[MFS62]

Jon Heyman and Joel Sherman confirmed that the MFYs acquired 3B Ryan McMahon from the Rockies in exchange for lefty pitching prospect Griffin Herring, ranked eighth in their system by MLB.com, and righty minor league pitcher Josh Grosz, ranked 21st.

McMahon has struck out 127 times, which leads the NL. He'll fit right in.

"Josh Grosz" seems like it would be fun to pronounce.

"Josh Grosz" seems like it would be fun to pronounce.

when I hear a lot of the names today, I wonder how much fun it would have been to hear Ralph Kiner try to pronounce them.

"Josh Grosz" seems like it would be fun to pronounce.

 

I think there's at least a 50/50 shot that those two names rhyme.

[Centerfield]

Griffin Herring is a fun name too.

It’s like the name Griffin Canning would put on his fake ID.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Yanks get Amed Rosario for 2 ****** prospects

[Frayed Knot]

KCR reaches an extension agreement with Seth Lugo so he's not going to be available at the deadline.

[Fman99]

Cookie Carrasco from AAA Yanqui purgatory to Atlanta. I think in terms of hated opponents that's a mostly lateral move.

[MFS62]

Right-handed reliever Seranthony Domínguez only needed a short walk to join the Toronto Blue Jays after being traded Tuesday by the Baltimore Orioles. Domínguez, who was traded between games of a Tuesday doubleheader in Baltimore, walked over to the visitors' clubhouse to greet his new teammates after the trade.

The Orioles traded Domínguez and cash in exchange for right-hander Juaron Watts-Brown, per ESPN. Watts-Brown was previously ranked as Toronto's No. 10 prospect by MLB Pipeline.

A José Cardenál deal is always exciting.

It would be best if the guy actually appeared in both halves of the double-header, playing one game for each team.

[Frayed Knot]

Reds deal for Pitt's Ke'Bryan Hayes

The son of ex-ML'er Charlie brings a great glove with him but just has never hit the way folks hoped: a career OPS+ of 86 (and 56! this year)

despite being top-10 in the pre-2021 season prospect lists

MLB's Mark Feinsand opines that the Phils, Mariners, Cubs, and Tigers are considered the primary suitors for Eugenio Suarez

[Benjamin Grimm]

I'll always remember Hayes as the guy who Todd Zeile caught reaching into a bag for a snack (sunflower seeds?) while the ball was in play behind him.

There’s a team missing from this list that I’d have liked to seen here

[MFS62]

The Phillies are acquiring Jhoan Duran from the Twins for Eduardo Tait and Mick Abel, per multiple reports.

Later

[The Hot Corner]

Nice pick up by the Phillies. Costs them 2 top MLB 100 prospects, Eduardo Tait a catcher (MLB#52 / Phillies #4) and Mick Abel RHP (MLB#92 / Phillies #6). Duran will be arbitration eligible for the first time after this season.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Padres trade for A's closer Mason Miller & starter JP Sears-- for 4 prospects including the No. 3 overall Leo deVries, considered the next Lindor.

Padres don't really need bullpen help

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Phils get Harrison Bader for 2 ****** prospects

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Tigers get Paul Sewald from Cleveland

Yankees trade 3 ****** prospects for David Bednar

[Gwreck]

Tigers also got Kyle Finnegan from Washington.

[whippoorwill]

Tigers get Paul Sewald from Cleveland

Yankees trade 3 ****** prospects for David Bednar

 

Dang it!

Well, Bednar sucked eggs for the Pirates earlier this season so maybe he’ll do it again.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Padres get O'Hearn and Laureano

Really going for it

[MFS62]

Phils get Harrison Bader for 2 ****** prospects

He would have been an upgrade in center.

Later

[Gwreck]

Almost-Met Carlos Correa traded back to Houston

[Gwreck]

Merrill Kelly of Arizona traded to Texas.

[Bob Alpacadaca]

Padres are going crazy!

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Yanx trade for Camilo Doval

[MFS62]

Padres are going crazy!

 

I'm guessing that's not because the Mets scared them in that last series.

Later

[Frayed Knot]

Bullpen arms seemed to be the theme of the deadline all over the league.

[DocTee]

Tigers went all in.

Seven trades and added quite a few arms (Sewald, Montero, Finnegan, Paddack Morton).
