MLB Trade Deadline Buzz: Dodgers Seek Bullpen Help

The 2025 MLB trade deadline is being covered live by The Athletic.

The Los Angeles Dodgers, despite investing $107 million in relievers Tanner Scott, Blake Treinen, and Kirby Yates, are looking to bolster their bullpen due to Scott's struggles and injuries affecting their relievers.

Dodgers president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman, known for avoiding overpaying at the deadline, may need to make moves regardless.

Baltimore Orioles pitchers Charlie Morton and Trevor Rogers have seen their trade value rise after turning around their performances.

The Orioles are considering trading Rogers, who has been performing well and is under club control for another season.

Chicago White Sox center fielder Luis Robert has been named the Least Valuable Player by The Athletic's Jayson Stark due to his poor performance this season.

The White Sox might have to trade Robert, as exercising his $20 million option for 2026 seems unlikely.

The Cleveland Guardians and Minnesota Twins have controllable relievers who could be trade candidates, but both teams are still in contention.

The Tampa Bay Rays are facing decisions on players with team-friendly extensions, like Yandy Díaz, Brandon Lowe, and Pete Fairbanks, as they navigate the trade deadline.

There are speculations about potential changes for the Rays under a new owner, including potential big moves in free agency.

Cal Raleigh of the Seattle Mariners recently won the team's "Golden Locker" award for maintaining the cleanest and most organized locker, in addition to his on-field achievements.
