Trade Rumor - Baseball Wiretap
The Dodgers have agreed to a deal with the Pirates to acquire left-handed reliever Tony Watson, a source told MLB Network Insider Ken Rosenthal ahead of today's non-waiver Trade Deadline. The clubs haven't confirmed an agreement.
Watson has a 2.68 ERA and 30 saves in his career.
The Yankees' pursuit of Athletics starter Sonny Gray spilled into the final hours before the trade deadline, but a swap has been agreed to that will send the right-hander to New York, a source confirmed to ESPN.
The Athletics are getting back shortstop Jorge Mateo, outfielder Dustin Fowler and pitcher James Kaprielian, according to multiple reports. Oakland is taking on two injured players, as Fowler ruptured the patellar tendon in his right knee during his first game in the majors last season while Kaprielian underwent Tommy John surgery earlier this year.
Gray is under club control through the 2019 season. He is making $3.6 million this season and is arbitration eligible in 2018.
The Yankees' pursuit of Athletics starter Sonny Gray spilled into the waning hours, as officials for both teams tried to decide if they're ready to make the compromises needed to bring a trade to fruition before Monday's 4 p.m. deadline.
The teams are "close enough to get over the hump," a source said. But Oakland executive VP Billy Beane has given indications he's prepared to hang onto Gray, who isn't eligible for free agency until 2019. Yankees GM Brian Cashman has thus far been resistant to giving up the prospect package the A's are seeking for Gray.
On Sunday, the Red Sox watched their bullpen cough up a two-run lead in the eighth inning of a oss to the Royals.
On Monday, they did something about it.
The Red Sox beat the trade deadline by acquiring reliever Addison Reed from the Mets for three minor league pitchers, sources confirmed to ESPN. Reed, a 28-year-old right-hander, is expected to serve as the primary eighth-inning reliever and setup man for All-Star closer Craig Kimbrel.
The trade has not been announced because the teams are exchanging medical information.
Detroit spent Sunday evening narrowing their list of suitors for lefty reliever Justin Wilson, with the potential of a deal Sunday night or Monday morning.
Five teams remain in the mix for Wilson, according to an industry source. The Astros are considered the favorites, according to MLB.com's Mark Feinsand, but the Nationals and Cubs also remain in the hunt according to MLB.com's Phil Rogers and other sources. MLB Network's Ken Rosenthal reported that the Cubs are heavily involved in talks.
Other teams that have been linked at some point to Wilson include the Rockies, Rays, Dodgers, Red Sox, Brewers, Indians and Yankees.
With the trade deadline a day away, Justin Verlander considers himself in a win-win situation as he wouldn't mind staying with the Tigers and has control over which teams can acquire him.
Verlander pitched six scoreless innings Sunday against the Astros in what could be his last start for the Tigers.
Asked afterward if he considers himself in a win-win situation, he said "that's probably a good assessment."
The Athletics and Yankees continue to discuss a potential trade for right-hander Sonny Gray, with both sides making concessions but no agreement reached yet, sources told ESPN.
Gray, one of the marquee names being shopped, was scheduled to pitch Sunday for Oakland but had that start pushed back to Monday night -- hours after the 4 p.m. non-waiver trade deadline.
Earlier Saturday, a source told ESPN that Athletics executive vice president Billy Beane was ready to "walk away'' and try again this offseason if he can't land the package he wants for Gray.
As the Athletics and Yankees talk a potential trade for Sonny Gray, a source said Oakland executive vice president Billy Beane is ready to "walk away'' and try again this offseason if he can't land the package he wants for the right-hander by Monday's 4 p.m. non-waiver deadline.
The Texas Rangers have notified teams that they plan to trade Yu Darvish prior to Monday's non-waiver trade deadline.
