2025 MLB Tenggat Batas Perdagangan Pelacak: Yankees Menargetkan Pitching, Per GM
The 2025 MLB trade deadline is Thursday, July 31 at 6 p.m. ET, but there will be plenty of trade talk and transactions that take place beforehand.

Yankees targeting pitching
Yankees senior vice president and general manager Brian Cashman made clear what the team seeks to add before the trade deadline.
“Whether it’s bullpen guys or starting pitchers, it’s just all of it,” Cashman said, according to ESPN. “That’s the area. We have people that are capable, but I think it also needs to get some help. And if I can do so, great. But again, there’s no guarantees. We’re going to be fully engaged and see where it takes us. Hopefully, we can run into some opportunities that can benefit us.”
New York, which is 51-41 and in second place in the AL East, owns a 3.69 rotation ERA, good for eighth in MLB, while its bullpen owns a 4.11 ERA, just 20th in the league.

Young star pitcher Paul Skenes, and veteran, franchise-icon outfielder Andrew McCutchen. The Pirates are maintaining Skenes is the cornerstone of their future, while McCutchen doesn’t want to be traded out of Pittsburgh, and the team is respecting his wishes.
Cubs eyeing a pair of Marlins right-handers
Chicago has expressed interest in acquiring Miami right-handers Sandy Alcanatara and Edward Cabrera, among other starting pitchers, according to The Athletic. Alcantara, the 2022 National League Cy Young Award winner, is having a rough season in what’s his first one back from Tommy John surgery, as he has posted a 6.69 ERA in 15 starts.

Phillies president speaks on bullpen
Philadelphia is atop the National League East at 47-32. If one were to pinpoint a weakness for this club, it’s the bullpen, which has a collective 4.63 ERA, good for 25th in MLB. However, Phillies president Dave Dombrowski offered up his perspective on how the team can improve its bullpen internally.
“The postseason bullpen is a lot different than the regular-season bullpen because in the National League this year, if you advance past the wild-card round … you play five games [in the next round, the NLDS]. Nah, jadwalnya [with an extra off day]Anda hanya membutuhkan tiga pitcher awal selama periode waktu itu. Jadi jika Anda memiliki lima [starters]dua dari mereka bisa masuk ke bullpen seperti yang ada di sana, “kata Dombrowksi, Menurut atletis. “Plus, jika Anda memiliki tambahan [surplus starters]mereka bisa masuk ke bullpen di sana. “
Yang mengatakan, eksekutif Phillies mengakui bahwa sebuah tim tidak dapat berpuas diri dengan kedudukannya.
“Anda mungkin menyerah sedikit lebih banyak dari yang Anda inginkan dalam keadaan lain. Tapi kesempatan itu [to win it all] Tidak selalu datang, “kata Dombrowski.” Dan saya selalu memberi tahu orang -orang: Jangan menerima begitu saja ketika Anda berada dalam posisi di mana Anda berada di dalamnya, tahun demi tahun. “

Bukit yang kaya kemenduaan
Hill akan tinggal bersama Kansas City Royals melewati klausul opt-out 15 Juni.
