Is one team ready to make a big offer for Soto?

View in browser  Sunday, July 31 • Is one team ready to make a big offer for Soto? The largest obstacle in a potential Juan Soto trade is that it would take an enormous return for the Nationals to part with a generational talent. But one team might have the pieces to pull it off. • Mets enter Deadline in unique position: with hot rotation While other teams seek starting pitching upgrades ahead of Tuesday's Trade Deadline, New York can focus on other areas of need because of the performance of its rotation this month. • Judge becomes 2nd-fastest to 200 HRs with No. 42 On the Yankees' Old-Timers' Day, Aaron Judge gave the pinstriped legends something to talk about with another home run in his incredible season. • J-Rod to get X-rays after pitch hits him near right wrist Mariners rookie sensation Julio Rodríguez injured the back of his right hand in the eighth inning when he struck out on a pitch that hit him in the wrist area. He remained in the game to play defense but was replaced by a pinch-hitter in the ninth. • Bell boosts trade value, picks up Nats with big home run Teams in need of a first baseman with power have no doubt been looking at Washington's Josh Bell. His performance on Saturday certainly won't drive away any potential suitors. • Ohtani shows off MVP bona fides in Halos' big comeback win Shohei Ohtani's three-run homer in the third inning left an impression on the Rangers, who intentionally walked him during what became the Angels' game-winning five-run eighth inning. • Rays show power in win, land it in trade for Peralta Saturday was an encouraging day for the Rays' scuffling, injury-depleted lineup. First, they broke out of a collective slump with two homers among their 10 hits. After the game, they added David Peralta in a trade with the D-backs. • Contreras' power, Anderson's masterful start lead Braves William Contreras enjoyed his third two-homer game of the season and Ian Anderson carried a perfect game into the fifth inning, possibly lessening Atlanta's urge to add a starting pitcher before the Trade Deadline. • Twins get a break, then break Padres' spirits San Diego should have erased a one-run deficit in the seventh inning, but Jurickson Profar's line drive hit second-base umpire Jerry Layne and remained in the infield. The runner on second base couldn't score, and Minnesota held its lead. • Dodgers acquire reliever Chris Martin from Cubs Los Angeles bolstered its bullpen by adding a right-hander who helped Atlanta win the World Series in 2021. "He's a neutral reliever who has really good stuff," manager Dave Roberts said. "I think he'll fit in really well with our staff."   More top news > 5 big trades that won't happen (but should) Tuesday's Trade Deadline is quickly approaching, and while we already got the season's first blockbuster on Friday with the Mariners landing Luis Castillo in exchange for four prospects, there still figures to be plenty of movement over the next few days.   While some deals are more likely to happen than others, these five proposed deals from MLB.com reporters are all trades that probably won't happen -- but definitely should.   Each of these deals attempts to strike a fair balance, though for one reason or another, would likely be rejected by one of the clubs involved -- but that's not going to stop us from dreaming. What's the impact of the Luis Castillo trade? The Mariners' blockbuster deal not only improves Seattle's postseason chances as it looks to end its 20-year drought but also could have a wide-reaching impact on the rest of the trade market.
