8/3/26 3:40 PM - Pirates give bullpen a boost by acquiring Luke Weaver from the Mets, AP source says.

The Pirates, aiming to end a decade-long playoff drought, traded shortstop prospect Sammy Stafura for the 32-year-old Weaver. This marks an aggressive financial push for the typically frugal team. Weaver is in the first season of a two-year, $22-million deal. The trade follows a challenging 2-7 stretch for Pittsburgh in which the bullpen has frequently struggled. Weaver has been a standout for the Mets this season, with a 2-1 record and a 1.84 ERA in 42 appearances.

8/3/26 10:00 AM - Points Leagues: August Infield Rankings.
As we get into August, how I approach these rankings is going to change slightly. They still aren’t going to be a straight Power Ranking of who has been good recently, as that isn’t particularly predictive going forward. However, while patience with some players could still be rewarded the way they have recently with the likes of Trea Turner and Manny Machado, it’s also wearing thin for some. Please, blog, may I have some more?

Mariners LHP Kade Anderson (21, AA) Seattle has no shortage of options in reshaping their rotation this week. I suspect they’re hoping to send two starters at once to maximize return, offloading Luis Castillo and opening a path for Anderson. Trade winds seem to be blowing toward Chicago. I never like predicting what a team might like in another organization, but the Cubs have pieces of just about every variety and would probably love to move Kevin Alcantara, Matt Shaw and maybe even Moises Ballesteros. If Kade Anderson isn’t promoted within the few weeks, there ought to be an investigation.
