Summary
Trade deadline chaos is heating up as teams scramble to fix their rosters. The Yankees, missing Aaron Judge’s power, are desperate for offensive help—especially behind the plate—with their catchers posting the worst OPS in baseball. They’re not chasing Lindor, though, as the Mets are reportedly listening but unlikely to move him. Meanwhile, the Nationals could unload Luis García Jr., their breakout first baseman with a 136 OPS+ and lefty power against righties, who’s entering his final year of control. On the mound, the Mets welcome back Clay Holmes from a fibula injury, who’s pitching well with a 2.39 ERA and may be looking for an extension. The Cubs, battered by injuries, are crying out for arms—both in the rotation (4.52 ERA, 8th worst) and bullpen—with their president insisting they’ll never have enough. Expect big moves as teams race to strengthen for the stretch run. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
