The New York Mets seem to be in the driver's seat to land this AL Central slugger. It was reported late Tuesday night by Mark Feinsand of MLB.com that the Mets are the "frontrunner" to trade for Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert Jr.

The Mets are acquiring hard-throwing closer Ryan Helsley from the St. Louis Cardinals on Wednesday, a day before the July 31 Major League Baseball deadline, the team announced Wednesday. The Cardinals get back three minor leaguers: shortstop Jesus Baez and right-handed pitchers Nate Dohm and Frank Elissalt.

While the Phillies addressed their closer questions with the acquisition of Jhoan Duran from the Twins, the Mets pulled off a pair of big deals to acquire Ryan Helsley from the Cardinals and Tyler Rogers from the Giants.

TRADE: The Red Sox have made a deadline deal, sending minor-league infielder Blaze Jordan to the St. Louis Cardinals in exchange for 34-year-old pitcher Steven Matz. The Cardinals officially announced the move Thursday morning. The veteran lefty worked out of the bullpen in St. Louis, but has experience starting games.

After months of buildup, today is the day when MLB's trade deadline will finally come and go. And the trades have already begun.

The Yankees made MLB history by erasing deficits in the 8th, 9th, and 10th before winning in the 11th against the Rays

The Yankees’ veteran will look to reverse a hellish 2025 when the Rays visit the Bronx on Thursday. Stroman, who missed two and a half months with knee inflammation, has a 6.09 ERA across eight outings, which is the 14th-highest in baseball among pitchers with at least eight starts. Batters have no problem squaring him up.
