Adrian Houser (P - TB)
8/3/25 1:31 AM -
Adrian Houser trade grade for Rays, White Sox. The Tampa Bay Rays have never been afraid to get creative at the trade deadline, and this year was no exception. With their rotation battered and playoff hopes still alive, the Rays made a shrewd move, acquiring right-hander Adrian Houser from the Chicago White Sox in exchange for infielder Curtis Mead and minor league pitchers Duncan Davitt and Benjamin Peoples. On paper, this is a classic Tampa Bay win-now move with minimal downside.

Yankees make 2 more inexplicable mistakes against Marlins. The Yankees have been making that-can't-happen plays routinely this summer. In just the first two innings of Saturday's game against the Marlins — coming off a disastrous 13-12 loss to Miami on Friday night — two more head-scratchers were added to that list. First, third base coach Luis Rojas waved leadoff man Trent Grisham around to try and score from second base on a base hit from Giancarlo Stanton with two outs in the first inning.

Current Seattle Mariners Team Starting to Have Similar Vibes to 2022. The Seattle Mariners front office made a clear statement with their trade deadline moves. The addition of first baseman Josh Naylor, left-handed reliever Caleb Ferguson and third baseman Eugenio Suarez was a vote of confidence from the front office to the current roster that this version of the club could make a legitimate run at the postseason. In the small sample size since the Suarez acquisition Wednesday, that confidence has been well-placed. Seattle went 2-0 through the first two of a four-game series against the Texas Rangers on Thursday and Friday.

Nationals May Come to Regret Not Trading Ace Pitcher MacKenzie Gore. The 2025 MLB Trade Deadline has now come and gone, and the Washington Nationals were unsurprisingly one of the biggest sellers. This season has shown that the Nats are still firmly in rebuilding mode, and as such, it was a no-brainer for the front office to sell high on several key assets that were unlikely to play a role in the long-term vision of the franchise. Washington certainly got a fair return on the players they shipped off to contenders, but one guy they decided not to keep around despite his monumental trade value was the Ace of their rotation in MacKenzie Gore. Interim GM Mike DeBartolo decided against shipping Gore off to the highest bidder, though, despite some pretty sizable interest around the league, and this could be a decision the team comes to regret down the line.

Alex Cora gets brutally honest about Kristian Campbell after Red Sox trade deadline. It goes without saying that Kristian Campbell's first two months as a Major Leaguer with the Boston Red Sox didn't exactly go according to plan. Campbell's bat carried him through April, when he was named American League Rookie of the Month, but he quickly came crashing back down to earth in May. By mid-June, he was back at Triple-A Worcester — and with plenty of work to do. Campbell's success didn't come immediately upon his return to Triple-A, especially while he was still trying to learn first base.

This group of superstars is supposed to hold the Mets' lineup high above the rest, but right now they are sinking.
