The deadline for trade is four days, and late on Friday night, the biggest slide show fell in the form of The Reds sent talented Luis Castillo to the Mariners for four possibilities. The trade could potentially knock Seattle out of the race Citizens The Wonderworker Juan Soto, whose market is said to be reduced to four teams. With that in mind, here are rumors of a Saturday trade deadline.
Rocky Likely to keep cool
According to The AthleticThe Rocky Mountains will “almost certainly” keep Daniel Bard closer on the trade deadline. Bard, 37, will be a free agent after the season, although Colorado is hoping to re-sign him. Last year, the Rockies did not trade Deadline Trevor Storey and John Gray, both of whom departed as free agents. The team did not even receive draft pick compensation for Gray.
Bard, the 2020 NL Comeback Player of the Year, remains the top bat-and-ball player for wasting. He can help any competitor. There is still plenty of time for the Rockies to change their minds and Bard’s fielding shows, though they have a history of slalom when other teams get stuck. Keeping Bard would be a great fit for the Rockies last place brand.
blue jays Interested in Vollmer?
Blue Jays is among the teams interested in tigers Right Michael Vollmer, MLB.com reports. Vollmer threw a goalless eighth inning in Toronto on Friday. The Tigers have many painkillers to get around on Deadline — Andrew Chavin and all-star Gregory Soto among them — though Vollmer is an imminent free agent, so there’s some urgency to move him.
Promotion is the top priority for the Blue Jays who have been on the offensive for the past few weeks. Vollmer has turned into a sliding machine that misses the bat, although he also has trouble walking. It’s the loyal kind of rent that moves on deadline each year and is an upgrade for every competitor.
Montas now YankeesGoal #1
With Castillo off the board, Athletics Right now Frankie Montas is the Yankees’ #1 goal, USA Today reports. All should go in Oakland and Montas is the best remaining commercial segment for the team. The right-hander missed two people who started with a minor shoulder problem earlier this month, but he has looked strong in his start and has played at a high level for several years now.
New York seeks to upgrade the rotation and is supposed to win the bidding war to acquire Montas. Several other contenders need assistance in the rotation and Montas is resuming as he will remain under the team’s control next season as a player eligible to referee. He’s not a charterer, and as Castillo’s trade has shown, the price of two post-season runs from a high starting impact.

as such, bruer I spoke to Laureano
The Athletics and Powers team discussed defensive player Ramon Laureano, according to New York Post. Laureano is one of the best remaining commercial chips in the A and will be under the team’s control until 2025, so he’s a long-term addition. Center field has been a weak point for the Brewers all season and Laureano represents an upgrade over the Jonathan Davis/Tyrone Taylor platoon.
Currently in first place at NL Central, Milwaukee could use another racket to lengthen the lineup, and Laureano brings in the element of speed as well. His defense tends to be overblown—Laureano’s arm is above the line, though his range and methods are fine—but the Brewers center players have hit .213/.272/.313 this year, and it won’t fly when you’re fighting for a division title.
