Alex Bregman (3B - BOS)

7/14/25 12:31 PM -
Could Red Sox All-Star Succeed Alex Cora As Manager?. The Boston Red Sox shouldn't be afraid to throw massive amounts of money at Alex Bregman this winter. With Bregman fully expected to opt out of his current contract and demand a new deal in the realm of $200 million, Boston should be fully prepared to match or even exceed that figure, and here's why: Bregman would be the perfect successor to Alex Cora as Red Sox manager down the line. Cora, 49, has publicly stated that he doesn't want to manage for a very long time. Cora is under contract for another two seasons, of course, but it's not outlandish to say that he might retire (or take a long break) from managing in the next five to 10 years, which, by the way, lines up loosely with the end of Bregman's playing career (he turned 31 in March).

Cardinals could send All-Star closer to Red Sox in potential blockbuster. The St. Louis Cardinals closed out the first half with a 5-4 comeback win over the Atlanta Braves on Sunday, but are starting to struggle a little bit. While they are 51-46 and just 1 1/2 games back in the National League Wild Card race, they are also 4-8 in their last 12 games and have fallen to 6 1/2 games behind the Chicago Cubs in the NL Central. If they sell, they have plenty of tradable pieces, including closer Ryan Helsley. Sean McAdam of MassLive.com proposed the idea of the Boston Red Sox plucking Helsley away from St. Louis.

McGee has bounced around between the big leagues and the minors this season and so it's not shocking to see him bounce around. Perkins is working his way back up to the big leagues after dealing with injuries.

The last Angel, regardless of age, to accomplish this feat is Kevin Pillar, who did it in the 2024 season. The first baseman has gone 11-for-16 at the plate since July 8 against the Texas Rangers, driving in four runs and scoring twice in the process. The Angels drafted Schanuel in the first round of the 2023 MLB draft, and he shot up through the minor league system, spending less than a month in the lower levels before his debut.

Roughly a dozen players could reach 500 over the next decade, including Mike Trout, Manny Machado and Bryce Harper.

Crochet was fantastic throughout his first 20 starts, but his most recent outing was his most sensational. For the first time in his career, the 26-year-old threw a complete game, and it happened to be a three-hit shutout against the division-rival Tampa Bay Rays.

How urgently should the Mets pursue Jarren Duran?. The July 31 trade deadline is right around the corner and the New York Mets are heavily expected to be active buyers. While the team has several needs, there may be no bigger need for an upgrade than in center field. Tyrone Taylor has played the lion's share in center this season, and while he's been an elite defender with a Fielding Run Value of 7 (19th in MLB), his bat has been a liability. Taylor is slashing just .213/.267/.313, and his struggles have made center field a prime area for improvement.

Kenley Jansen (P - LAA)

7/13/25 9:33 PM -
Angels' Kenley Jansen makes 'disappointing' confession amid trade buzz. The Los Angeles Angels remain in the fringes of the playoff hunt, but the front office cannot operate on delusion and proceed as if they're a surefire candidate to remain in the postseason picture. Jansen only signed a one-year contract with the Angels, and, even though he's been more than solid for LA, racking up 16 saves on an ERA of 3.38 (with only one blown save to boot), if there's an archetype of player that usually gets dealt prior to the trade deadline, it's relief pitchers who can help shore up a playoff team's bullpen for the looming stretch run.

Padres' Jackson Merrill gets brutally honest on 'playing like s**t'. For the first few months of the 2025 MLB season, it sure looked like Jackson Merrill, the runner-up to Paul Skenes in the 2024 NL Rookie of the Year race, was going to avoid having a sophomore slump entirely. Merrilll, for the first two or so months of the season, was raking for the San Diego Padres, putting up a slash line of .303/.343/.479 — nothing to scoff at even if his power production may be down from last season. Since the 13th of June (one month ago), the Padres center fielder has gone through a brutal stretch at the plate, slashing .169/.293/.273. On the one hand, it's good to see Merrill try to expand his game by taking more pitches and drawing more walks.

The Boston Red Sox were already the hottest team in baseball entering the weekend, but having Garrett Crochet take the bump took them to new heights. Crochet got the start against the Tampa Bay Rays on Saturday, trying to keep his team's eight-game winning streak alive. The Red Sox lineup didn't help much in that regard, scoring just one run in the contest. As it turned out, though, that's all Boston would need to win its ninth consecutive game.

Cubs Could Target Angels $5 Million Infielder in Potential Trade Deadline Move. With the Chicago Cubs' hopes of making a deep playoff run in October, adding an experienced third baseman could be the key to their success. Currently manning the postion is Matt Shaw, who ranks last in the divison in home runs, on base percentage, and slugging. While he is starting to heat up again at the plate hitting .321 currently, the Cubs could look into other options. Within that group are Yoan Moncada (Los Angeles Angels), Ryan McMahon (Colorado Rockies), and Eugenio Suarez (Arizona Diamondbacks).

Tyrone Taylor (OF - NYM)

7/13/25 9:20 AM -
Mets cautioned against trading for dynamic Red Sox superstar. Center field seems like a pretty obvious area for the New York Mets to target at the trade deadline. With Tyrone Taylor taking the bulk of the starts at the position for now, the Mets have to wonder if there's an upgrade on the market. Jarren Duran, who can play center but usually mans left field for the Boston Red Sox, is one of the most intriguing names out there these days. Usually, a player of his caliber would never be available with 3 1/2 years left on his rookie deal, but the Boston outfield is so stacked that he just might be dealt.

Red Sox Rookie Who Taunted Yankees Suffers Major Injury. The New York Yankees' arch rival, the Boston Red Sox got some bad news last night. Rookie pitcher Hunter Dobbins tore his ACL in a play during the second inning against the Tampa Bay Rays. In the video, posted by Talkin' Baseball on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, Dobbins jumps to a base to tag out a Tampa Bay runner, hits the base, and then begins to hop on his left foot. Dobbins, who tore the same muscle in the same knee playing high school football, said after the game that he was trying to fight through the pain, but that it was all to familiar.

Blue Jays vs. Athletics: Gausman control issues and multiple miscues hamper Toronto.

Matt Vautour: Red Sox ace's team-first decision sends the right message. On the field, Garrett Crochet has performed like the front-of-the-rotation leader the Red Sox desperately needed all year. On Friday, he led like an ace, too. Crochet revealed Friday afternoon that he won't pitch in the 2025 MLB All-Star Game on Tuesday. There are only so many pitches in his arm this season and he doesn't want to waste them on an exhibition game against batters who don't matter.
