Digest more
The Chicago Cubs have long been expected to be one of the most aggressive teams at the trade deadline, which is now less than a week away.
On Friday, Finkelstein and Staph predicted that the Cubs would acquire Ryan, sending the Twins a three-prospect package including catcher Moises Ballesteros, infielder Jefferson Rojas, and right-handed pitcher Jaxon Wiggins.
The annual MLB trade deadline not only impacts the final two months of the current season, but it also has a longer-lasting impact in the form of the prospect talent that is sent the other way by contenders.
David Schoenfield of ESPN wrote in his article, "MLB trade deadline dominoes for 10 biggest names on 2025 market", that the Boston Red Sox should trade for Pirates right-handed starting pitcher Mitch Keller.
