Justin Verlander has been traded by the Detroit Tigers to the Houston Astros.

The Detroit Tigers agreed to receive Franklin Perez, Daz Cameron Jake Rodgers from the Astros.

According to Jon Heyman, Verlander would approve a trade to the Chicago Cubs or Los Angeles Dodgers.

Verlander is due $28 million per season in 2018 and 2019, plus he has a vesting option in 2020 worth $22 million if he finishes in the top-5 in Cy Young voting in 2019.

Verlander has a 3.82 ERA in 28 starts this season with the Tigers. Verlander finished second in Cy Young voting in 2016.

The Los Angeles Angels have acquired Justin Upton from the Detroit Tigers for minor league pitcher Grayson Long and a player to be named later or cash considerations.

Upton, 30, is hitting .279 with 28 homers and 94 RBIs this season.

He signed a six-year, $132 million contract in January 2016. He's owed $88 million over the next four seasons but has the option to opt out of the deal in November.

The Seattle Mariners have acquired Mike Leake from the St. Louis Cardinals for the stretch run of the season.

The Cardinals received minor league shortstop Rayder Ascanio, international cap space totaling $750,000 and cash considerations in the deal.

Leake has struggled since the All-Star break, going 1-5 with a 6.90 ERA in nine starts since July 14.

There has been a surge of interest in Justin Verlander with the August trade period coming to a close, according to a report.

Verlander cleared revocable trade waivers, but he has full no-trade protection.

He is owed $56 million for two more seasons.

The Miami Marlins have received interest from the St. Louis Cardinals, San Francisco Giants, Philadelphia Phillies and Texas Rangers regarding a trade for Giancarlo Stanton, according to a report.

A "high-ranking Marlins executive" says the Giants have expressed the most interest.

Stanton has 10 years and $295 million left on his contract.

Jeff Samardzija has cleared revocable trade waivers, meaning the San Francisco Giants can trade him freely over the next few days to all but eight teams.

Samardzija's contract pays him $18 million annually for three more seasons.

Trade interest in Asdrubal Cabrera has picked up, according to a source.

The 31-year-old infielder has an $8.5-million option for 2018. The New York Mets are still open to picking up the option if he remains with the club.

Cabrera's contract includes a $2 million buyout should he and the Mets part ways.

The Arizona Diamondbacks are not likely to make any August waiver additions.

"We're still watching the waiver market through the month of August," Mike Hazen said, "but I'm not anticipating that there's going to be major changes outside of what's in this organization."

Hazen noted that an injury could change the club's approach.

"I think that there's that general feeling within the clubhouse that we need to play more consistently from a win-loss standpoint," Hazen said. "It's not effort at all. It's stringing things together a little bit better.

"The offense, we need to continue to find ways to grind out our at-bats and put some more runs on the board. We've had opportunities to do so. Again, part of that is the ebb and flow of the season, and so the reaction to it is to let it sort itself out. But, obviously, we're addressing things in and around, how can we get better, how can we continue to improve."

The Los Angeles Dodgers acquired Curtis Granderson from the New York Mets for a player to be named later.

Granderson gives the Dodgers depth in the outfield. Granderson is batting .273 with 17 home runs and a .979 OPS since May 10, with the latter mark ranking 10th in the Majors over that stretch.

"It's been a great four years here with the Mets organization," Granderson said, shaking hands and hugging teammates and staff members in the Mets' clubhouse early Saturday morning. "All these guys have been amazing. ... It's a little bittersweet. But to get an opportunity to play into the postseason is going to be exciting."

Joc Pederson has faded over the summer and was optioned by the Dodgers to Triple-A.

The Miami Marlins are "willing to engage" other teams in trade talks involving Giancarlo Stanton, according to a report.

It was reported by Jeff Passan of Yahoo! Sports on Wednesday that four clubs had shown some level of interest in Stanton, who has clubbed 44 home runs this season.

There have yet to be any serious trade talks involving Stanton, who is still owed roughly $300 million.
