This deal is notable on both sides, with the Orioles clearly selling off – they have some interesting pitchers the Cubs might be looking at, like Trevor Rogers or old friend Andrew Kittredge – and...
There was a time when this would’ve been a major trade. As it stands, it’s kind of just a nice, complementary move for the Guardians, who always seem to add these types of position players. Jo...
Well this is certainly an interesting in-division trade percolating, especially when you consider that this is a guy who was long supposed to be the face of this Orioles era. Catcher Adley...
It wasn’t a pretty day for the Cubs’ minor league squads as they all closed out their series on Sunday. The lone win of the day came from the Knoxville Smokies, with one swing of the bat doing the...
The Chicago Cubs have landed a blockbuster trade, reportedly acquiring pitcher Clay Holmes from the New York Mets. According to MLB Network’s Jon Heyman and other reports, the Cubs will acquire...
CHICAGO — Jed and company made a ripple through the hot stove Sunday night by acquiring veteran right-hander Kevin Gausman. With a lot of uncertainty if there will be baseball next year, Monday is...
The Cubs may or may not land another starting pitcher, and, even if they do, it might not be a rental. But I do quite like Clay Holmes, and I’d prefer he at least not go to the Cubs’ divisional...
I am currently blogging – here, on Facebook, on X (BN and my personal), and on Bluesky (BN and my personal) – for 40 hours straight, past MLB’s August 3 Trade Deadline until 10pm CT, thanks to...
Cubs vs Dodgers — My ability to focus on this series preview with the 2026 MLB Trade Deadline just hours away is … fraught. But we press on! For the most part, the Cubs have a pretty easy schedule...
The Seattle Mariners could trade Kirby before Monday's deadline.
Geez, slow down, Dave Dombrowski! I can’t keep up! Virtually concurrent to acquiring Luis Arraez and Caleb Kilian from the Giants, the Phillies are also acquiring lefty reliever Brooks Raley from...
Wow, we’re cooking now. Another big trade. (UPDATE: And as I type, the Phillies also get Brookes Raley!) Luis Arraez is headed to the Phillies: Phillies are trading for three-time batting champion...
This was not even close to my bingo card. It wasn’t even in the same room. The Anaheim Angels have pulled the trigger on trading one of their controllable starters, and it’s Jose Soriano going to...
I promised a little more on the Kevin Gausman deal when I wrote it up last night, but then I got worried that there wouldn’t be much more to say about a guy who’s been in the bigs since 2013....
After a successful road trip, the Cubs (63-49) stumbled a bit in their return home to Wrigley by dropping two out of three to a talented Yankees squad. Craig Counsell‘s team struggled to get much...
The Cubs star left the door open when presented with a hilarious question about whether one of baseball’s greatest legends ever existed.
Real creative headline work there, Bert. Must be feeling really fresh. Anyway, there was just a bunch of additional stuff I wanted to share about new Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Kevin Gausman,...
Like I said yesterday when analyzing the deal, I do think the Tarik Skubal trade is bad for baseball. I do think it’s a symptom of the dramatic financial imbalance in the game that the Los Angeles...
The Chicago Cubs bolstered their pitching rotation, hampered by injuries all season, by acquiring veteran right-hander Kevin Gausman on Sunday night in a trade with the Toronto Blue Jays.
Here we go. The hardest part of the Blogathon every year, at least from a content perspective: the day two Bullets. It’s just so hard to turn this part of my brain back on – while it’s cognitively...

As ever, I cannot thank you all enough for your support throughout the Trade Deadline Blogathon experience. I do enjoy it in my own weird way, but it’s also a very challenging thing to do – we’re...
In theory, with John Mozeliak (temporarily?) in charge, the Anaheim Angels should be in position to actually sell off for the first time in a very long time, as they’ve needed to do for years....
It was an unfamiliar feeling for the Los Angeles Dodgers this weekend when they were swept at home for only the second time this season at the hands o
It’s after 2:30am my time, so the threshold for cheeky headlines gets a little lower. Having traded Ty Southisene and Brett Bateman to the Blue Jays for Kevin Gausman, the Chicago Cubs farm system...
Spotted earlier doling out hugs aplenty, New York Mets reliever Huascar Brazobán is indeed on the move. The Chicago White Sox pick up another pitcher, after earlier acquiring Luis Castillo: White...
To me, the return for the Toronto Blue Jays in the Kevin Gausman trade was wholly appropriate for a solid rental starter. Two top-20-ish system prospects in Ty Southisene and Brett Bateman, each...

The Chicago Cubs have officially announced the Kevin Gausman trade, adding him to the 40-man roster. There is more work to be done before the 5pm CT deadline tomorrow, but this is a very good...
Although it isn’t literally true that the Cubs traded Jameson Taillon for Kevin Gausman – the deals were two separate trades of considerably different scale – it wouldn’t surprise me if the first...
Tarik Skubal was the tip of the spear, as it were, because the aftermath of his trade to the Dodgers has seen a flurry of rental starting pitcher trades even before we reach Trade Deadline Day....
The Chicago Cubs got their starting pitcher. Trade Deadline over. I kid, I kid. It’s been well-established, by report and by common sense, that the Cubs came into this deadline season wanting to...
