The Astros aren't done, as they still hope to add a reliever. Rays closer Pete Fairbanks among the relievers they're looking at. One source said Houston is "turning every stone" right now.

Yeah. I saw a previous report that if they couldn't work out Cease or Alcantara, they'd pivot to a reliever.

Gotta wonder what the marlins are waiting on. They could have gotten insane value for him last year and this year. And they haven't been contenders in years

Does the fact they are worse actually help us? Have you seen us against bad teams?

Not true, sadly we have 0 shot of bringing my boy Springer home.

BTW I was referring to you farmer as you heard about a Correa rumor on a podcast in April. I was just acknowledging at the time it wasn't a crazy idea because the Twins could eat some money.

The Arizona Diamondbacks received pretty nice package for Merrill Kelly:
The Rangers' No. 5 prospect (LHP Kohn Drake), 9th (LHP Mitch Bratt) and 13th (RHP David Hagaman)
— Bob Nightengale (@BNightengale) July 31, 2025

Diamondbacks quietly making moves at the deadline to set themselves up well down the road. All planned I'm sure, but they're slowly becoming my favorite NL team.

Interesting considering the Dodgers SP sucks. May is also a guy I'd love to get in free agency and see what our coaches can do with him.

These guys aren't robots. There's something to be said for how happy a player is that impacts how they perform.

Honestly I don't think Correa was unhappy in Minnesota. If he was, he faked it very convincingly (and I have heard that from a source behind the scenes as well as public facing).

I'm sure he wasn't looking forward to being on a team after a fire sale, but his play (or for last year, inability to play) was a big part of why the Twins fell out of playoff contention.

The San Diego Padres get starting pitching depth by acquiring Nestor Cortes from the Milwaukee Brewers for OF Brandon Lockridge. He could replace Dylan Cease in the rotation if he's moved to Houston.

It may not be entirely up to us. The Padres are trying to win and might just think they are better off with Cease.
