MLB Trade Rumors

MLB trade deadline is less than 48 hours away, and teams are in constant conversation. The Tampa Bay Rays, for example, have been granted permission to split their home games between St. Petersburg, Florida, and Montreal, Quebec. The New York Yankees, on the other hand, desperately need starting pitching help. Meanwhile, the San Francisco Giants are in discussions with pitchers like Madison Bumgarner and Frankie Montas.

The A’s are reportedly receiving a lot of interest in both Montas and Manaea, but these moves will not happen until next year. In the meantime, the New York Yankees have also been linked to both players. The only problem with this team’s interest is that both players are under team control through the 2023 season. Fortunately for them, they are open to trade both players if they can find a buyer for both.

The biggest name in MLB trade rumors this offseason is Oakland’s pitcher Frankie Montas. Montas has been linked to several teams, including the New York Yankees and New York Mets. However, the asking price for Montas will be very high, and the Twins have not engaged in talks with any representative for the Oakland Athletics. Meanwhile, the St. Louis Cardinals, Boston Red Sox, and New York Yankees are all in the market for pitching, and Frankie Montas would be a good fit for the Twins front office.

The Detroit Tigers are reportedly securing a better pitching staff. A deal was reached with left-handed reliever Andrew Chafin. The deal is worth around $13 million over two years. Moreover, the Tigers have agreed to sign minor-league catcher Wily Peralta. If Peralta makes the big league roster, he’ll earn $2.5 million. If he reaches the majors, he will be worth $2 million, which is not an unreasonable amount.
